Lab Exam 3 Flashcards
Nondisplaced
Bone is in normal position
Displaced
Bone is out of place
Complete
Broken all the way through
Incomplete
Not broken all the way through
Linear
Break parallel to long axis of bone
Transverse
Perpendicular to long axis of bone
Spiral/Oblique
Spiral break (Common in Child Abuse)
Compound
Bone penetrates through skin
Simple
Bone does not penetrate skin
Avulsion
Complete severing of body part
Comminuted
Fracture of the distal end of the lateral forearm bone
Compression
Bone is squashed
Epiphyseal
Epiphysis is separated from diaphysis at epiphyseal plate
Greenstick
Partial fracture (One side of bone breaks & other side is bent)
Hairline
Fine crack in which bone remains aligned
Pathologic
Weakening of bone due to disease
Axial Skeleton
Middle skeleton (Skull, Sternum, Ribs, & Vertebrae)
Appendicular Skeleton
Appendage skeleton (Clavicle, Scapula, Arm Bones, Hip Bones, & Leg Bones)
Calvaria
Temporal & Parietal Bones
Cranial Base
Sphenoid, Temporal, & Occipital Bones
Hyaline Cartilage
Nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi, epiphyseal plate, & articular cartilages. (Makes up most of fetal skeleton until replaced)
Elastic Cartilage
Auricle or pinna, epiglottis, & external auditory meatus
Fibrous Cartilage
Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, articular discs in sternoclavicular & temporomandipular joints, glenodial labrum, & acetabular labrum
Conchae Bones
(Swirly bones in nose) Help control airflow into nose, cleaning & warming air that goes into lungs
Cervical Vertebrae
1st part, Neck area, C1-C7
Thoracic Vertebrae
2nd part, Upper back part, T1-T12
Lumbar Vertebrae
3rd part, Lower back, L1-L5
Sacrum
4th part, back of hip area, S1-S5
Coccyx
Tailbone
Integumentary
Skeletal system provides support; skin provides Vitamin D
Muscular
Skeletal system provides the levers and stores Ca needed for nervous system function; hormones regulate bone growth & calcium storage
Endocrine
Skeletal protects, stores Ca needed for hormonal messages; hormone regulates bone growth & calcium storage
Cardiovascular
Bone marrow provides site for blood cell formation; cardiovascular transports O & CO2 & nutrients
Lymphatic
Skeletal provides protection and support and is source of lymphocytes; lymphatic immune cells protect bone
Respiratory
Skeletal provides protection and support; respiratory provides O and eliminates CO2
Digestive
Skeletal provides protection and support; digestive provides nutrients
