Chapter 7 Review Flashcards
Tough connective tissues structures that attach bones to bones
Ligaments
Manufacture blood cells
Hematopoiesis
The formation of bone by osteoblasts
Ossification
Attach muscle to bone
Tendons
Connective tissue consisting chiefly of fat cells
Yellow bone marrow
Richly supplied with blood and consists of blood cells and their precursors
Red bone marrow
Disease caused by deficiencies int the minerals calcium and phosphorus or by deficiencies in vitamin d and sunlight
Rickets
The bones fail to ossify, resulting in soft, weak bones that are easily broken
Osteomalacia
The bone protrudes through the skin or if skin is not perforated
Open or compound
An incomplete fracture
Green stick fracture
Are small rounded bones
Sesamoid bones
Unique component of the axial Skelton b/c it has no articulations with other bones
Hyoid bone
The cervical vertebrae are the smallest vertebrae. The first one of two
Atlas
Second vertebrae of the cervical vertebraes
Axis
Abnormal accentuated lumbar curvature
Lordosis
Swayback
Twisted condition, abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that occurs most often the thoracic region
Scoliosis
Disorder of the skeletal system characterized by a decrease in bone mass with accompanying increased susceptibility to bone fractures
Osteoporosis
A common nonmetabolic disease of bone whose cause is unknown
Paget’s disease
The result of excessive endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plates of long bones
Gigantism
Congenital defect in the development of the posterior vertebral arch
Spinda bifida
A rupture of the fibrocartilage surrounding an intervertebral disk that cushions the vertebrae above and below
Herniated disk
Injury affects the cervical vertebrae and their associated muscles and ligaments
Whiplash
A chronic condition caused by over activity of the anterior pituitary gland
Acromegaly
Most commonly broken bone in the body
Fractured clavicle
