Exam 2 Slide show Skeletal Tissue (pt5) Flashcards
What is the ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue
Bone remodeling
What are the two types of bone remodeling?
Bone resportion and bone deposition
What is bone deposition?
addition of minerals and collagen fibers to bone by osteoblasts
What is bone resportion?
removal of minerals and collagen fibers from bone by osteoclasts
Which bone tissue renews the fastest?
Spongy bone; 5 times faster than compact bone
Which bone is more resistant to fractures? New bone or old bone?
New bone
What does bone remodeling support?
Calcium homeostasis
In a bone fracture repair, what does procallus transform into?
Fibrocartilage
What are the four quick processes for bone fracture and repair
- Fracture hematoma
- Fibrocartilaginous callus formation
- Bony callus formation
- Bone remodeling
In the bony callus formation of fractures, explain the osteoblasts role
Osteoblasts start to form trabeculae, converting the callus into spongy bone
In the bone remodeling of a fracture, what does the spongy bone at the periphery turn into?
Compact bone
Is bone constantly being remodeled?
Yes
What electrical crystal is found in ultrasound machines?
Pezo electrical crystal
What is the reservoir for calcium throughout the body?
Bone
Growing bone requires large amounts of what?
Calcium and phosphorus
