Lecture 17 Flashcards
carried out by osteoblasts and osteocytes in response to hormonal control, primarily in immature humans. In adults, bones thicken with use
Bone Deposition
takes place when the matrix is disrupted and must be repaired
Bone Resorption
vitamin for Ca++ absorption
Vitamin D
vitamin for formation of collagen
Vitamin C
lateral curvature of spine
Scoliosis
accentuated cervico-thoracic curvature. Also called “hunchback” commonly found with osteoporosis
Kyphosis
accentuated lumbo-sacral curvature. Also called “swayback” common in women than men
Lordosis
hairline fracture
Nondisplaced Fracture
bone is completely fractured through. requires reduction
Displaced Fracture
bone bends before it breaks
Greenstick Fracture
multiple fractures, producing bone fragments
Comminuted Fracture
order of fracture repair
hematoma, soft callus, hard callus, spongy bone, compact bone (if applicable)
any disruption of the osseous matrix, usually the result of trauma
Fracture
any point where two bones meet
Joints
joint that is relatively inflexible and is formed by fibrous connective tissue
Synarthrosis Joint
joint that is slightly flexible and is formed by cartilage
Amphiarthrosis Joint
flexible joint, also called a synovial joint
Diarthrosis Joint
the space between the bones is narrow and filled with collagen fibers
Fibrous Joint
the space between the bones is wider and filled with cartilage
Cartilagenous Joint
hyaline cartilage covers the opposing articular bone surfaces and a fluid-filled cavity exists between them (synovial cavity)
Synovial Joint
form between the flat bones of the cranium
Sutures
