17
Q
Cartilage
A
Dense connective tissue, precursor to most bone tissue
18
Q
Ligament
A
Strong band of connective tissue joining bone to bone
19
Q
Ossification
A
The formation of bone tissue
20
Q
Osteoblast
A
Immature cell that produces bone tissue
21
Q
Osteclast
A
Immature cell that destroys bone tissue
22
Q
Osteocyte
A
Mature bone cell, nourishes and maintains bone tissue
23
Q
Periosteum
A
Fibrous membrane covering bone surface
24
Q
Resorption
A
Removal of bone by breakdown and absorption into the circulation
25
Tendon
Fibrous connective tissue attaching muscle to bone
26
Ankylosing spondylitis
Chronic, progressive inflammatory disease - involves joints of the spine and surrounding soft tissue - most common in young males
27
Arthritis
Inflammation of a joint
28
Chondrosacroma
A malignant tumor of cartilage
29
Herniated disc
Protrusion of the center of an intervertebral disc into the spinal canal; ruptured or "slipped" disc
30
Kyphosis
Exaggerated curve of spine in lumbar region (Hunchback)
31
Lordosis
The exaggerated curve of spine in the lumbar region (swayback)
32
Osteoarthritis
Progressive deterioration of joint cartilage with growth of new bone and soft tissue in and around the joint - most common form of arthritis
33
Osteoma
A benign bone tumor that usually remains small and localized
34
Osteomalacia
Softening and weakening of the bones due to vitamin D deficiency or other disease
35
Osteomylelitis
Inflammation of bone and bone marrow caused by infection, usually bacteria
36
Osteopenia
Lower than average bone density
37
Osteoporosis
Severe reduction in bone density - most common in caucasian women past menopause
38
Osteosarcoma
A malignant bone tumor; osteogenic sacroma
39
Paget disease
Bone thickening and distortion with bowing of long bones - seen in the elderly; osteitis deformans
40
Rheumatoid arthitis
Chronic autoimmune disease of unknown origin - results in inflammation of peripheral joints and related structures - more common in women
41
Scoliosis
Sideways curvature of the spine - any region
42
Spondylolisthesis
Forward displacement of one vertebra over another
43
Spondylolysis
Degeneration of the articulating portions of a vertebra - allows for spinal distortion in the lumbar region
