copy deck
impacted fracture
broken bone ends are forced into each other
arthritis
inflammation or degenerative disease of joints
closed(simple) fracture
does not break skin
Flat Bone
thin and flattened, compact around spongy
Long Bones
shaft with heads at both ends, compact bone
Canaliculi
tiny canals, radiate from the central canal to lacune
Bony Thorax
forms a cage to protect major organs, sternum, ribs, thoracic vertebra
Osteon
unit of bone
Articular Cartilage
covers the external surface of the epiphsyis, hyline cartilage, decreases friction
osteoclasts
bone-destorying, break down matrix, release calcium
Diaphysis
shaft and composed of compact bone, long bone
acl
center on knee; cruciate
Epipyseal Plate
growth of long bone, new cartilage is continuously formed, other cartilage becomes ossified
spiral fracture
ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone
Ossification
cartilage is broken down and replaced by bone
Central Canal
opening in center of osteon, carries blood vessels and nerves
Depressions or cavities
indentations
Sharpey's Fibers
secure periosteum to underlying bone
bones cells involved in remodeling
osteoblasts and osteoclasts
natural splint
fibrocartilage forms callus
compression fracture
bone is crushed
Periosteum
outside covering of diaphysis, fibrous connective tissue membrane
Medullary Cavity
cavity of shaft, yellow marrow, red in infant
fibrose joints
generally immovable; sutures and syndesmoses
Open(compound) fracture
goes through skin
repair using bony callus
bony callus is remodled to form a permanent patch
synovial joints
freely moveable; joint cavity, elcosed by articular capsules
Short Bone
cube shape, spongy bone, tasals
osteoblasts
bone-forming cells
Spongy Bone
small needle-like pieces of bone, many open spaces
Tendonitis
inflammation of tendon sheaths
Bursitis
inflammation of a bursa usually caused by a blow or friction
Compact Bone
homogenous
depressed fracture
broken bone portion is pressed inward
amphiathroses
slightly moveable joints
Functions of Bones
Support body, protect soft organs, movemen, storage of minerals and fats, bloods cells formation
bone fracture treatement
reduction and immpobilization, realignment of the bone
greenstick
bone breaks incompleletly, musch in the way a green twig breaks
Syndesmoses
allows more movement than sutures
Projections and processes
grow out from the bone surfaces
Arteries
supply bone cells with nutrients
synarthroses
immoveable joint
comminuted fracture
bone breaks into many fragments
Lemallae
rings around the central canal, site of lacunae
bursae
flattened fibrous sacs
Gouty arthritis
inflammation of joints in caused by a deposited urate crystals fromt he bloods, controlled with diet
Rheumatoid arthritis
an autoimmune disease, bilateral inflammation, leads to deformaties
Axial Skeleton Parts
skull, vertebral column, bony thorax
cartilaginous joints
immovable or slightly moveable; connected by cartilage-pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints
Epiphysis
ends of bone, spongy bone
Perforation (Volkman's) Canal
canal perpendicular to the central canal, carries blood vessles and nerves
Fontanelles
fibrous membranes connecting the cranial bones, allow the brain to grow, convert to bone within 24 months after birth
osteoarthritis
most common chronis arthritis, related to aging
diathroses
freely moveable joints
Hyoid Bone
only done that does not articulate with another bone, moveable base for the tounge
osteocytes
mature bone cells
Lacunae (osteocytes)
cavities containing bone cells, arranged in concentric rings
