Kines Chapter 3 Flashcards
Makes up the hard, dense outer layer of all bones, which is the most opaque upon x-ray
Compact bone
Is the less dense latticework of trabeculae of the inter portion of the bone, primarily at the ends of long bones
Cancellous Bones
This law states that bone density increases for areas on which increased forces are imposed and decreases for areas on which forces are decreased
Wolff’s Law
A thin fibrous membrane covering the entire surface of a bone except the articular joint surfaces
Periosteum
The region at each end of a bone, providing the articular surfaces of joints
Epiphysis
Cartilaginous material in growing bone
epiphyseal plate
The region of Long bone that serves as a transition from the Epiphysis and diaphysis
metaphysis
The hollow center which, among other features, decreases the weight of the bone
Medullary Canal
Type of bone cell primarily responsible for bone reapportion a process by which old bone is broken down so it can be replaced with new bone
Osteoclast
The main shaft of a bone, composed of an outer layer of compact bone, which gives bone strength
Diaphysis
Membrane lining, the medullary canal containing osteoclast
Endosteum
Named because their link is greater than their width or named these type of bones
long Bones
Typically have more equal dimensions of height, length, and width, giving them a cubed, like shape
Short Bones
Have a broad surface, are not very thick, and tend to have a curved, rather than a flat, surface
Flat bones
These type of bones have a variety of shapes their unique shapes allow them to fulfill particular functions
Irregular bones
These bones are also termed, accessory bones, they are small bones located where tendons cross the ends of long bones in the extremities
Sesamoid Bones
An interruption in the continuity of a bone caused by trauma or pathology
Fracture
A condition characterized by loss of normal bone mass
Osteoporosis
Condition of reduced bone mass, though not as severe as osteoporosis
Osteopenia
An infection of the bone caused by bacteria
Osteomyelitis
Slippage of the epiphyseal plate occurs, causing interruption of blood supply to the femoral head, resulting in necrosis of the bone
Legg-Calve-Perthes
This occurs when the head of the femur becomes displaced as a result of separation at the epiphyseal plate
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Occurs in children at the tendinous attachment of the quadriceps tendon to the tibial tuberosity
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
