Mainly calcium phosphate crystals
Responsible for hardness and resistance to compression

60
Q

Osteogenesis (ossification)

A

bone tissue formation

61
Q

bone development stages

A

Bone formation—begins in the 2nd month of development
Postnatal bone growth—until early adulthood
Bone remodeling and repair—lifelong

62
Q

two types of ossification

A

Intramembranous ossification

Endochondral ossification

63
Q

Intramembranous ossification

A

Membrane bone develops from fibrous membrane

Forms most flat bones (cranial bones)

64
Q

Endochondral ossification

A

Cartilage (endochondral) bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage
Requires breakdown of hyaline cartilage prior to ossification
Forms most of the rest of the skeleton

65
Q

Intramembranous ossification steps

A

Ossification centers appear in the fibrous connective tissue membrane.
Bone matrix (osteoid) is secreted within the fibrous membrane and calcifies
Woven bone and periosteum form
Lamellar bone replaces woven bone, just deep to the periosteum. Red marrow appears.

66
Q

Endochondral ossification steps

A

Bone collar forms around hyaline cartilage model
Cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and then develops cavities (medullar cavity)
The periosteal bud inavades the internal cavities and spongy bone begins to form (blood vessels go into medullar cavity in order for spongy bone to form)
The diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity (thicker) forms as ossification continues. Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses in preparation for stage 5.
The epiphyses ossify. When completed, hyaline cartilage remains only in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages.

67

performed by osteoclasts and osteoblasts

78
Q

Bone Remodeling occurs at

A

surface of periosteum and endosteum

79
Q

does remodeling happen equally throughout skeleton

A

no, Areas of high stress remodeled more frequently to prevent those areas from becoming too brittle.

80
Q

What controls continual remodeling of bone?

A

Hormonal mechanisms that maintain calcium homeostasis in the blood
Mechanical and gravitational forces sensed by osteocytes
(communicate to stimulate remodeling)

81
Q

removal of osteocytes causes loss of

A

remodeling activities

82
Q

Calcium is necessary for

A 
Transmission of nerve impulses
Muscle contraction
Blood coagulation
Secretion by glands and nerve cells
Cell division
83
Q

Hormonal Control of Blood Ca2+ flow chart

A 
Blood Ca2+ levels drop
Parathyroid glands increase release PTH
PTH stimulates osteoclasts to degrade bone matrix and release Ca2+ 
Blood Ca2+ levels increase
Parathyroid glands decrease PTH
84
Q

wolffs law

89
Q

Bone fractures may be classified by four “either/or” classifications:

A

Position of bone ends after fracture
Completeness of the break
Orientation of the break to the long axis of the bone
Whether or not the bone ends penetrate the skin

90
Q

Position of bone ends after fracture

A

Nondisplaced—ends retain normal position

Displaced—ends out of normal alignment

91
Q

Completeness of the break

A

Complete—broken all the way through

Incomplete—not broken all the way through

92
Q

Orientation of the break to the long axis of the bone

A

Linear—parallel to long axis of the bone
Transverse—perpendicular to long axis of the bone
Spiral or Oblique – on an oblique angle

93
Q

Whether or not the bone ends penetrate the skin:

A

Compound (open)—bone ends penetrate the skin

Simple (closed)—bone ends do not penetrate the skin

94
Q

All fractures can be described in terms of

A

Location
External appearance
