Unit 5: Skeletal System Flashcards
Fracture
Bone ends penetrate skin
Open (Compound)
Fracture
Fragments into 3 or more pieces
(elderly)
Comminuted
Fracture
Bone breaks incompletely
One side bent, one broken
Greenstick
Fracture
Caused by excessive twisting forces
(sport or abuse)
Sprial
Fracture
One bone fragment is driven into the medullary space or spongy bone of another
Impacted
Wolff’s Law
Holds that bone will grow or remodel in response to the forces or demands placed on it
Osteoblasts
Bone build
Synthesize and secret bone matrix
Initiate calcification process
Osteosytes
Mature bone cell
Osteoblasts that are trapped by secretion of matrix
Doesn’t secret matrix
Maintains bone tissue
Osteoclasts
Digest bone matrix
Bone reabsorption
Osteoperosis
Disease Bone reabsorption occurs faster than bone deposition Bones become porous Fractures become common In women
Bone Remodeling
1. Bleeding occurs
Blood clots form
Hematoma develops
Bone Remodeling
2. Fibroblasts
Produce collagen -> span the break
Bone Remodeling
2. Cartilage cells
Turn into osteoblasts
Bone Remodeling
2. Osteoblasts
Begin forming spongy bone
Bone Remodeling
3. Spongey bone
Continues to grow
Takes 6-8 weeks
Bone Remodeling
4. For several months Osteoclasts,
Remodel
Bone Remodeling
4. For several months Osteoblasts,
Rebuild compact bone`
Intramembranous Ossification Bones
Cranial bones and clavicle
Flat bones
Irregular shaped
Spongey bone -> compact bone
Intramembranous Ossification Process
OBWL
- Ossification center appears
- Bone matrix (osteoid) secreted
- Woven bone and periosteum form
- Lamellar bone replaces woven bone, Red bone marrow
