diaphysis

A fracture in the shaft of a bone would be a break in the ____

Diploe

the internal layer of spongy bone in flat bones

Osteoporosis

Drinking fluoridated water is a factor in preventing or delaying ___

Ossification of the ends of long bones

____ is produced by secondary ossification centers

Support, Protection, Movement, Mineral and growth factor storage, Blood cell formation, Triglyceride (fat) storage

Functions of skeletal system:

Osteon

Structural unit of compact bone

Periosteum

Bones are covered and lined by a protective tissue called ____

osteogenic


osteoblasts & osteoclasts

the inner ___ layer of periosteum consists primarily of ____

Perforating (Sharpey's) fibers

dense connective tissue that secures the periosteum to the underlying bone

blood vessels and nerve fibers

The canal that runs through the core of each osteon is the site of ____

small spaces in bone tissue that are holes

What are Lacunae?

Osteocytes

___ live in Lacunae

Appositional Growth

the process of bones increasing in width

irregular

Vertebrae are considered ___ bones

transverse fracture

A bone fracture perpendicular to the bone's axis:

Appositional and Interstitial Growth

Cartilage grows in two ways:

Appositional Growth

The secretion of new matrix against the external face of existing cartilage

Interstitial Growth

Chondrocytes in the lacunae divide and secrete matrix allowing cartilage to grow from within.

by pushing the epiphysis away from the diaphysis

In the epiphyseal plate, cartilage grows ___

Spongy Bones

______ are made up of a framework called trabeculae

Osteogenesis

The process of bone formation

infancy and childhood

Growth Hormone is important for bone growth during ______

calcium, phosphate, vitamin D

Normal bone formation and growth are dependent on the adequate intake of _____, ______, and _______

Greenstick

Which fracture would be least likely in a 92-year-old?



Compression


Greenstick


Comminuted


Spiral

pain in a bone

Ostealgia

An ossification center forms in the fibrous connective tissue

What is necessary for Intramembranous Ossification to take place?

Parathyroid Hormone

Increases Osteoclast activity to release more calcium ions into the blood stream

40

The universal loss of mass in skeleton begins about the age of ___

reflects incomplete osteon formation and mineralization

The universal loss of mass in the skeleton ___

Hyaline Cartilage

tissue that is the forerunner of long bones in the embryo:

Insterstitial growth of the epiphyseal plates

Lengthwise, long bone growth during infancy and youth is exclusively through ____

the epiphyseal plate of long bones closing too early

Elevated levels of sex hormone might cause what in children?

A deficiency of growth hormone

Decreased proliferation of the epiphyseal plate cartilage is caused by what during bone formation?

Greenstick

An incomplete fracture or cracking of the bone without actual separation of the parts. Common in children.

Cells that can dissolve the bony matrix

Lamellae

Layers of bone matrix

Osteoblasts

Cells that can build bony matrix

Chondrocytes

The cells responsible for the early stages of Endochondral Ossification

a projection that helps to form joints

epiphyseal plate

which structure allows the diaphysis of bone to increase in length until early childhood, as well as shaping the articular surfaces?

Hyaline

the most abundant skeletal cartilage type

within fibrous membrane

Cranial bones develop ____

Hematopoiesis

Blood cell formation

Sesamoid

a bone embedded in a tendon

Endochondral Ossification

A long bone forms by a process known as ___
