final exam new stuff Flashcards
osteoprogenitor cells
undiffertiated cells that differientiate into osteo blasts. they are found in the periosteum, endostuem, and epiphyseal growth plate of growing bones
osteoblasts
bone building cells that synthesize and secrete the organic matric of bone. osteoblasts also participate in the calcification of the organic matric
osteocytes
mature bone cells that function in the maintenance of bone matrix. osteocytes also play an active role in releasing calcium into the blood
osteoclasts
bone cells responsible for the resorption of bone matrix and the release of calcium and phosphate from bone
tendon
tendons attach muscles to bone and transmit load from muscle to bone, resulting in joint motion
ligament
attach bone to bone and augment mechanical stability of a joint
strain
stretching injury to muscle/tendon caused by mechanical overload
-results from muscle contraction or forcible stretch
sprain
involves ligamentous structures surrounding the joint
-pain and swelling subside more slowly
-ligaments torn or ruptured
hip injuries: dislocations
anterior or posterior (emergency)– tension placed on blood supply to femoral head– avascular necrosis may result
hip injuries: fractures
classified according to location
-most of femoral neck fractures
-location is important in terms of blood flow to femoral
-external rotation and shortening
fracture of a bone
a fracture is any disruption, complete or incomplete, in the continuity of a bone
fracture of bone causes
-sudden injury, stress, pathologic
neurovascular integrity assessment
-distal blood flow, pulses, and sensation
closed fracture
fracture in which bone fragments separate completely
open fracture
bone protrudes through the skin
spiral fracture
a fracture resulting from a twisting motion
compression fracture
a fracture that consists of bones that are crushed or squeezed together
comminuted fracture
a fracture with more that two pieces
greenstick fracture
fracture with a partial break in bone continuity-often seen in children
impacted fracture
fracture is wedged together
clinical manifestations of a fracture
angulation, shortening, rotation(long bones)
-pain, swelling, tenderness, loss of function
-deformity
bone healing stage 1
-hematoma formation from torn blood vessels- clot forms
-death of bone cells from blood disruption
bone healing stage 2
-inflammation–nuerovasculation–formation of fibrin meshwork
-osteoblast synthesize new bone
-granulation tissue form beginning of callus
bone healing stage 3
reparative phase: continued formation of callus of cartilage and woven bone
