Chapter 6 Part 2 Flashcards
-zone of resting cartilage; anchors plate to epiphysis -zone of proliferating cartliage -hypertrophic cartliage; chondrocytes enlarge -zone of calcified cartliage is nearest diaphysis ; bone replaces cartliage
4 zones of epiphyseal plate
Deposits bone on outter surface increasing thickness
Appositional growth
Requires a balance between the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Bone homeostasis
Osteoblast Activity is greater then osteoclast activity
Spurs
Osteoclast activity is greater than osteoblast activity
Osteoporosis
Minerals, vitamin C and D, Sex hormones and weight bearing excercises
Factors affecting bone growth
Stimulates collegen synthesis lincrwsing tensile strength
Vitamin C
Absorbs calcium deficiency results in -rickets (children) and (adults) osteomalacia
Vitamin D
Stimulate osteoblast activity causing “growth spurts”
Sex hormones
Increase bone density
Weight bearing excercises
Bone protrude through skin
Open (compound) fracture
Bone does not break skin
Closed (simple) fracture
One side breaks other side bends; only occurs in children
Green stick partial fracture
Fractured bone driven into another
Impacted fracture
Distal fibula fractured from severely everting foot
Potts fracture
