61
- Damage caused by an injurious agent may not result in necrosis. - Longer duration of inflammation periods.
Chronic Inflammation
62
Three types of joints:
1. Fibrous/Synarthrodial 2. Cartilaginous/Amphiarthrodial 3. Synovial/ Diarthrodial
63
the shaft or central part of a long bone.
Diaphysis
64
the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.
epiphysis
65
are the wide portions of long bones and the regions of the bone where growth occurs.
metaphysis
66
The process of bone formation
Ossification/osteogenesis
67
are hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility.
Long bones
68
Type of bones that provide strength, stability, and support with little movement.
Short bones
69
bone that provide protection of vital organs
flat bones
70
refers to bones that perform various bodily functions, including protecting nerve tissue and providing support for the pharynx and trachea.
irregular bones
71
Type of bones that help relieve tension within muscles and tendons, allowing for increased weight-bearing and tolerance by redistributing forces throughout a muscle or tendon, thereby protecting them from significant strain and injury.
Sesamoid bones
72
A type of bone whose function is to permit the skull and face to accommodate growing organs, such as the eyes and brain.
sutural bone
73
A term of which disorders that are present from birth.
Congenital
74

Hereditary
75
some disease processes, especially in the early stages, do not produce symptoms and are termed
asymptomatic
76
some disease processes, especially in the early stages, do not produce symptoms and are termed
asymptomatic
