Dislocation
displacement of a bone from its joint
intra-articular

Osteoblasts
bone forming cells
osteoclasts
break down bone
hematoma formation
Torn blood vessels hemorrhage, forming a mass of clotted blood called a hematoma
Site is swollen, painful, and inflamed
callus formation
mass of tissue that forms at a fracture site and connects the broken ends of the bone
bony callus formation
osteoblasts begin to produce spongy bone trabeculae joining portions of the original bone fragments

Tissue
An integrated group of cells with a common structure and function
Cell
The basic biological unit of living organisms, containing a nucleus and a variety of organelles - all enclosed by a membrane.
Epithelial Tissue
Sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs and body cavities

Connective Tissue
Animal tissue that functions mainly to bind and support other tissues, having a sparse population of cells scattered through an extracellular matrix.
Muscle Tissue
Soft tissue that composes human muscle and gives rise to the muscle's ability to contract
Nervous Tissue
Tissue type that makes up the central and peripheral nervous systems
Neurons
A nerve cell; the fundamental unit of the nervous system, having structure and properties that allow it to conduct signals by taking advantage of the electrical charge across its cell membrane.
Cartalige
A usually translucent somewhat elastic tissue that composes most of the skeleton of vertebrate embryos and except for a small number of structures (as some joints, respiratory passages, and the external ear) is replaced by bone during ossification in the higher vertebrates.
