Term
Osteon
Definition
a cylinder shaped unit with a hollow central canal "haversian canal" located down the center; contains the blood vessels and nerves
Term
Lacunae
Definition
the circular layer that form the osteon
Term
Osteocytes
Definition
(Ost-Bone, Cyte-cell) bone cells located within the lacunae
Term
Intercellular Matrix
Definition
the material located between the osteocytes that is made of collagen and inorganic salts which give the bone its strength and resistance to crushing
Term
Intramembranous Bone
Definition
boen of the skul that forms from membrane like sheets of connective tissue
Term
Intramembranous Ossification
Definition
the process of replacing connective tissue sheets with intramembranous bones
Term
Endochondral Bones
Definition
most of the skeloton bones that develop from masses of hyaline cartilage shaped like their future bony structure
Term
Endochondral Ossification
Definition
the process of forming endochondral bone by replacing the hyaline cartilage
Term
Osteoblast
Definition
bone forming cells that deposit a spongy bony matrix around themselves
Term
Epiphyseal Plate
Definition
A cartilage plate located at the ends of bones; shows if growth will still occur in that bone if present
Term
Where does the bone lengthen from?
Definition
the ends
Term
When does bone growth stop?
Definition
When the epiphyseal plate becomes ossified of calcified
Term
Osteoclast
Definition
phagocytic cells that dissolve and break down the bony matrix of the epiphyseal plate, the osteoblasts then invade and deposit bone tissue that becomes ossified or calcified
Term
Bone Thickening
Definition
The bone thickens as compact bone is deposited on the outside of the bone underneath the periosteum.
Term
Factors Affecting Bone Development
Definition
Nutrition, Hormones, Physical Stress, Genetics
Term
Growth Hormones
Definition
a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates division of cartilage cells in the epiphyseal plates.
Term
Klippel-Feil Syndrome
Definition
short neck (webbed neck)
Term
Osteophytes
Definition
Bone spurs
Term
Scoliosis
Definition
Lateral curving of the spine
Term
Kyphosis
Definition
Hunchback
Term
Rickets
Definition
Softening of bones due to the lack of vitamin D, calcium, and/or phosphate
Term
Paget's Disease
Definition
Unknown cause-posibly due to genes; located in the arms, legs, pelvis, spine, or collar; symptoms are bone pain
Term
Tramatic Fracture
Definition
Injury
Term
Spontaneous or Pathologic Fracture
Definition
Disease
Term
Compound Fracture
Definition
(Open) exposed to the outside
Term
Simple Fracture
Definition
(Closed) Break protected by uninjured skin
Term
Greenstick Fracture
Definition
Incomplete; due to the bending of the bone
Term
Fissured Fracure
Definition
Incomplete; Longitudinal break
Term
Comminuted Fracture
Definition
complete; 2 or more fragments (crushed)
Term
Transverse Fracture
Definition
Complete; right angle break to the bone axis
Term
Oblique Fracture
Definition
Complete; an angle ofther than 90 degrees
Term
Spiral Fracure
Definition
complete; caused by excessive twisting
Term
Segmental Fracture
Definition
complete; one fragment
Term
Complete
Definition
All the way through the bone
Term
Incomplete
Definition
the break isn't all the way through the bone
Term
Ossification
Definition
the bone making process
Term
If a bone is ossified it is...
Definition
hardened or calcified
Term
Pituitary Dwarfism
Definition
A condition in which the pituitary gland does not make enough growth hormone which results in slow growth and unusually small features
Term
Acromegaly
Definition
"Gigantisim" abnormal growth of the hands, feet, and face; causes the over production of growth hormones by the pituitary gland
