connective tissue- matrix that is flexible and shock absorbing
98
What does compact bone contain
osteon- formally haversion system
in osteon are osteocytes: bone cells
bone cells are house in lacunae( chamber) arranged in circles around center canals
99

bone absorbing cells
| break down, remove worn cell, deposit calcium in blood
102
what are osteoblasts
repair destructive work of osteoclasts
as form new bone, osteoblast take calcium from blood
cells eventually get caught in matrix and convert to osteocytes- found in lucuande of osteon
103
define remodeling
old bone tissue replaced by new bone tissue
thickness of bone changes with remodeling
physical use and hormones affect thickness
adult and children require calcium to support bone health
104
when is bone primarily cartilaginous

105
what is ossification
cartilaginous model converts to bone
| calcium salt deposit in matrix- first by precurose cartilaginous cells and later by osteoblasts
106
What is endochondral ossification
ossification of long bones from hyaline cartilage
107
Describe endochondral ossification
begins at primary ossification center in middle of bone
once cells die, blood vessels penetrate bone to deliver osteoblasts- form medullary cavity
secondary centers from at ends of bone later
cartilaginous disk remain between primary ossification center and secondary center -
108
what is the cartilaginous disk in-between primary ossification center and secondary center
commonly known as growth plate
can increase in length
rate of growth affected by growth hormone and sex hormones
by puberty disk completely ossified and bone stops growth
full height of adult happens
109
What is intramembranous ossification
ossification of flat bone from connective tissue
110
Describe intramembranous ossification
flat bone formation begins with mesenchymal cells
differentiale into osteoblast at points within connective tissue of embryo
osteoblasts begin to secrete bone tissue
once enough bone tissue secreted, osteoblasts develop to osteocytes
111
What are the 5 types of fractures
closed-simple: bone break remains in skin
open-compound: bone break, part of bone shaft break out of skin
greenstick: bone bend and break- not all the way across- common in kids
communited: bone breaks into more than 2 segments: typically repaired surgically
impacted: one end of broken bone is pushed inside other part of bone
112
Define Rheumatoid arthritis
synovial membrane becomes inflamed and thickened
| degenerative changes take place- makes joint immovable and painful

bone tissue disease
bone tissue degenerate faster than replaced
bones become weak
brittle bone cause pain and are more likely to fracture
115
How are joints classified
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
116
Describe fibrous joints
immovable
| between cranial bones
117
Describe cartilaginous joints
found between vertebrae: slightly movable
separated by discs- increase flexibility
pelvic bones: slightly movable because anteriorly joined by fibrous cartilage: public symphysis- become more flexible late in pregnancy for childbirth
118
Describe synovial joints
most joints movable
| bones separated by joint cavity
119
What are ligaments
composed of fibrous connective tissue
bind bone together
hold bone in place as form a joint capsule
120

anterior longitudinal: connect anterior vertebral bodies
posterior longitudinal: connect posterior vertebral bodies
interspinous ligament: connect spinous process at adjacent vertebrae
supraspinous: connect posterior portion of spinous process
140
Describe intervetebral discs
act as padding
prevent vertebrae from grinding against each other
absorb shock w/running, jump and walk
weaken with age could slip/rupture
141
what is a herniated disc
posterior longitudinal ligament weakens, center of portion of disc bulges into vertebral foramen
pain when disc presses against nerve and spinal cord
may heal over time or surgical removal
for surgery: fuse vertebral: limits mobility
PT is a good option to strengthen muscles of the spine
