one of the two main groups of bones that make up the human skeletal system; consists of 126 bones, primary bones are the shoulder girdle, arms, and hands and the pelvic girdle, legs, and feet

Answer 12

an articulation, a place where two or more bones connect

Answer 13

{fibrous} they do not permit movement; the bones are in close contact with each other, but there is no joint cavity; i.e. cranial suture

Answer 14

{cartilaginous} they permit very slight movement; i.e. vertebra

Answer 15

usually occurs through the growth plate where the matrix is undergoing calcification and chondrocytes (cartilage cells) are dying; this type of fracture is seen in children

Answer 41

usually occurs during the course of normal activity; some patients with osteoporosis develop stress fractures of the feet while walking or stepping off a curb

Answer 42

typically occurs as a result of a fall; with osteoporosis, hip fractures can occur as a result of trivial accidents

Answer 52

calcan/e -al heel bone = pertaining to pertaining to the heel bone

Answer 53

Answer 55

dactyl -ic finger or toe = pertaining to pertaining to the finger or toe

Answer 56

Answer 66

oste/o por -osis bone = a passage = condition abnormal condition characterized by a decrease in the density of bones, decreasing the strength and causing fragile bones, which can result in fractures

Answer 67

re- duct -ion back = to lead = process manipulative or surgical procedure used to correct a fracture or hernia

Answer 68

rheumat -oid arthr -itis discharge = resemble = joint = inflammation chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the joints, stiffness, pain, and swelling which results in crippling deformities
