25
What is a complete fracture?
A complete break across the bone, bone is broken into 2 or more pieces.
26
What is a closed fracture?
the fractured bone does not break through skin. \*also called SIMPLE
27
What is invloved in fracture repair?
1. Phagocytes begin to remove any dead bone tissue 2. Chondroblasts form firbocartilage at fracture site taht bridged the broken ends of bone. 3. Fibrocartilage is converted to spongy bone tissue by osteoblasts. 4. Bone remodeling occurs.
28
What is a open fracture?
The broken ends of bone protrude through skin. \*also called COMPOUND
29
Bone store and release calcuum and phosphate, controlled maily by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
30
Which 2 minerals do bone tissues store the most of?
Calcium and Phosphorus
31
What makes a bone a flat bone and which bones are they?
Generally thin, afford considerable protection, and provide extensive serface for muscle attachment. Crainal bones, sternum, ribs, and scapulae.
32
What are the 4 major types of cells present in bone tissue?
1. Osteocytes 2. Osteogenic cells 3. Osteoblasts 4. Osteoclasts
33
What are osteoblasts and what is their function?
Bone-building cells they synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of bone tissue.
34
What do osteoclasts release?
Release powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest the protein and mineral components of the bones extracellular matrix.
35
Where are osteogenic cells found?
Found along the inner portion of periosteum, in the endosteum, and in canals within bone that contain blood vessels.
36
What is the function of compact bone tissue?
Protection, suppost, and resists stress.
37
What is bone remodeling?
Old bone is constantly destroyed by osteoclasts, while new bone is constructed by oseoblasts.
38
How does mechanical stress increase bone strength?
increases the deposition of mineral salts and production of collagen fibers
39
What happens when mechanical stress is removed?
Weakens bones through *demineralization* and collagen fiber reduction.
40
Which cells have a ruffled boarder and secrete hydrochloric acid?
Osteoclasts
41
The spurt of growth in puberty results from cell proliferation and hypertrophy in what part of the bone?
epiphyseal plate
42
Osteoclasts are most closely related, by common decent, to what cell?
Blood cells
43
The walls between cartilage lacunae break down in what zone?
Bone deposition
44
A child jumps to the ground from the top of the playground. What causes his leg bones not to shatter?
Contains collagen fibers
45
Where does one long bone meet another?
Epiphysis
46
What is calcitroil made of?
7-dehydrocholesterol
47
What is a sign of osteoporosis?
a wrist fracture
48
Calcium phosphate crystallizes in bone as a mineral called \_\_\_\_\_\_.
Hydroxyapatite
49
Osteocytes conact each other through channels called ______ in the bone matrix.
Caniculi
50
A calcium deficiency called ___________ can cause death by suffocation.
Hypocalcemia

the transverse process of a vertabra.
55
The disc-shaped head of the radius articulates with the _______ of the humerus.
Capitulum
56
What body supports your body weight when you are sitting down?
the ischium
57
Gaps between the cranial bones of a infant are called \_\_\_\_\_\_.
fontanels
58
The external auditory canal is a passage in the ______ bone.
temporal
59
Bones of the skull are joined along what lines?
sutures
60
