The small spaces in bone tissue that are holes in which osteocytes live are called:

17
Q

The intramembranous ossification to take place, which of the following is necessary?

A

An ossification center forms in the fibrous connective tissue

18
Q

Bones are constantly undergoing resorption for various reasons. Which of the following cells accomplishes this process?

A

osteoclast

19
Q

Which hormone increases osteoclast activity to release more calcium ions into the bloodstream?

A

parathyroid hormone

20
Q

Vertebrae are considered ______ bones

21
Q

The universal loss of mass seen in the skeleton, which begins about the age of 40

A

reflects an imbalance in the bone remodeling process

22
Q

In the epiphyseal plate, cartilage grows

A

from the diaphysis to the epiphysis

23
Q

Spongy bones are made up of a framework called:

A

trabeculae

24
Q

The osteoid portion of the bone matrix is important in providing all but:

25
Growth of bones is controlled by symphony of hormones. Which hormone is important for bone growth during infancy and childhood?
growth hormone
26
Wolff's law is concerned with:
the thickness and shape of a bone being dependent on stresses placed upon it
27
The fracture type in which the ends are incompletely separated is
greenstick
28
What are the three zones in epiphyseal growth plate?
1. Growth Zone 2. Transformation Zone 3. Osteogenic Zone
29
What is the growth zone?
Cartilage cells undergo mitosis
30
What is the transformation zone?
Older cells enlarge; matrix becomes calcified; cartilage cells die; matrix begins deteriorating
31
What is the osteogenic zone?
New bone formation is occuring
32
Define osteoporosis.
Disorder of the bone where bone resorption out spaces bone deposit. Affects mainly postmenopausal women. Can be treated with calcium, vitamin D, and weight bearing exercises.
33
Define rickets.
Insufficient calcium or vitamin D activation in children causes a disorder that causes deformities of the bones. Demineralization causes softening of the bones and lack of epiphyseal plate calcification.
34
Define osteomalacia.
Adult form of rickets; osteoids are produced but calcium salts are not deposited so bones soften and weaken
35
What are the four stages of bone healing?
1. Hematoma formation 2. Cartilaginous callus formation 3. Bony callus formation 4. Bone remodeling
36
Describe the physiological activity in hematoma formation
When bone is injured, blood vessels and periosteum are torn, resulting in hematoma, with resultant inflamation
37
Describe the physiological activity in Cartilaginous callus formation OR soft callus formation
the callus acts as a "splint" holding the two bones together.
38
Describe the physiological activity in Bony callus formation
Osteoblasts activity results in bony callus formation. New bone trabeculae begin to appear and convert it to bony hard callus. This begins within 3-4 weeks after injury, and a firm union forms after 2-3 months later
39
Describe the physiological activity in Bone remodeling
Bone remodeling continues after bony callus forms, remodeling the callus. The final structure then resembles the original bone because they respond to the same stress.
