21
Q

Triggers chondrocyte proliferation in epiphyseal plates, resulting in the increasing length of long bones. Increases calcium retention, which enhances mineralization, and stimulates activity, which improves bone density.

A

Growth hormone

22
Q

Promotes osteoblastic activity and the synthesis of bone matrix.

A

Thyroid hormone- Thyroxine

23
Q

Needed to make calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, which form the hydroxyapatite crystals that give bone its hardness.

A

Calcium

24
Q

Needed for calcium absorption.

A

Vitamin D

25
Q

Supports bone mineralization; may have synergistic effect with vitamin D.

A

Vitamin K

26
Q

Structural component of bone

A

Magnesium and Fluoride

27
Q

Reduces inflammation that may interfere with osteoblast function.

A

Omega-3 fatty acids

28
Q

Stimulates osteoclast proliferation and resorption of bone by osteoclasts; promotes. Reabsorption of calcium by kidney tubules; indirectly increases calcium absorption by small intestines.

A

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

29
Q

Inhibits osteoclast activity and stimulates calcium uptake by bones.

A

Calcitonin

30
Q

Caused by trauma, car accident, fall, athletics, etc.

A

Stress fracture

31
Q

Bone is weekend by disease, bone cancer or osteoporosis

A

Pathological fracture

32
Q

Break in the skin, multiple pieces.

A

Fractures classified by structural characteristics

33
Q

Occurs straight across the long axis of the bone.

A

Transverse fracture

34
Q

Occurs at an angle that is not 90 degrees.

A

Oblique Fracture

35
Q

bone segments are pulled apart as a result of a twisting motion.

A

Spiral Fracture

36
Q

Several breaks result in many small pieces between two large segments.

A

Comminuted fracture

37
Q

One fragment is driven into the other, usually as a result of compression.

A

Impacted fracture

38
Q

A partial fracture in which only one side of the bone is broken.

A

Greenstick

39
Q

A fracture in which at least one end of the broken bone tears through the skin; carries a high risk for infection.

A

Open or compound fracture

40
Q

A fracture in which the skin remains intact.

A

Closed or simple fracture.

41
Q

Torn blood vessels lose blood at the damaged site. A mass of clotted blood forms at the fracture site about 6-8 hours after damage. Site becomes swollen, painful, and inflamed.

A

Step 1 in healing fractures, Hematoma.

42
Q

Within about 48 hours of damage, chondrocytes from endosperm secrete fibrocartilaginous matrix to the internal callus. Osteoblasts and periosteal chondrocytes produce cartilaginous matrix that later calcifies to stabilize the damaged site external callus.

A

Step 2 in healing fractures, Soft Callus.

43
Q

The fibers and cartilage of the internal and external calluses are ossified to produce bony callus composed of trabelculae. The spongy bone formation in the callus is usually 4-6 weeks after the injury.

A

Step 3 in healing fractures, Hard Callus

44
Q

Excess material on the bone shaft exterior and in the medullary canal is removed. Compact bone is laid down to reconstruct shaft walls. The remodeling process may take more than a year to complete.

A

Step 4 in healing fractures, Remodeling.

45
Q

Vitamin D deficiency

A

Rickets

46
Q

Irregular thickening and softening of skull bones

A

Padget’s disease

47
Q

Inflammation of backbone caused by TB

A

Pott’s Disease

48
Q

Soft, weak bones that are demineralized

A

Osteomalacia

49
Q

Bone resorption outpaces deposit. Spongy bone of spine and neck of femur most susceptible. Vertebral and hip fractures are common.

A

Osteoporosis

50
Q

Indicates that the bone is stronger than normal

A

Positive T score

51
Q

Indicates that the bone is weaker than normal.

A

Negative T score

52
Q

Can confirm a diagnosis of osteoporosis if you have already had a bone fracture. Predict your chances of fracturing a bone in the future. Determine your rate of bone loss, see if treatment is working.

A

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) testing.
