New cards
53

this is on the surface of the ends of you bones

articular cartilage

New cards
54

How does bone grow with endochondrial ossification?

Length

New cards
55

Bone elongation steps:

  1. Chondrocytes of the hyaline cartilage in the epiphyseal plate grow larger and multiply

  2. As cartilage layer expands, the cartilage at the upper and lower edges of the epiphyseal plate becomes ossified

  3. Process of expansion/ossification at the metaphysis repeats over and over, thereby extending the length of the bon

New cards
56

Growing pains are

the epiphyseal plate expanding faster than the periosteum muscle covering

New cards
57

Hyaline Cartilage is precursor to

osseous bone tissue

New cards
58

The widening and thickening of bone is called

appositional growth

New cards
59

appositional growth

A thin layer of osteoblasts (the bone forming cells) resides on the inner surface of the periosteum. As the osteoblasts lay down more and more osseous tissue, making the bone thicker and wider, osteoclasts come behind from inside the marrow cavity and dissolve some of that bone allowing the marrow cavity to grow as well

New cards
60

Appositional growth results in

production of circumferential lamellae

New cards
61

New cards
84

Bone repairs in

8-12 weeks

New cards
85

Blood clot =

Hematoma

New cards
86

Fracture Repair Steps

Hematoma formation and granulation, soft callus formation, hard callus formation, remodeling.

New cards
87

Bone and blood vessels are severed, blood clots around site.

Fibroblasts, osteogenic cells, and blood vessels invade the area creating a soft mass of tissue called GRANULATION TISSUE

Hematoma formation and granulation

New cards
88

Fibroblasts deposit collagen that creates a fibrous patch around the fracture

Soft Callus formation

New cards
89

Osteoblasts lay down a collar of new bone surrounding the fracture called a HARD CALLUS.

The hard callus is the body’s version of a cast that keeps the pieces of bone properly aligned during healing.

At this point the fracture is still fragile and can be re-broken quite easily.

Hard Callus formation

New cards
90

Remodeling

 process by which the broken pieces of bone are remodeled and gaps between bone pieces are filled.

Osteoclasts remove small fragments of broken bone and smooth jagged edges.

Osteoblasts enter and lay down a layer of spongy bone to close any gaps (prevents bones from shortening after a fracture)

Spongy bone transitions to compact bone and fracture site is often nearly undetectable

New cards
91

Fibroblasts, osteogenic cells, and blood vessels invade the area creating a soft mass of

Granulation tissue

New cards
92

 fibrous patch around the fracture is a

soft callus

New cards
93

osteoblasts lay down collar of new bone called

hard callus

New cards
94

Osteoporosis

Disease in which bones become less dense, very brittle and susceptible to fracture

New cards
95

Osteoporosis literally means

porous bones

New cards
96

What is decreased in Osteoporosis?

Bone mineral density

New cards
97

This is affected most when you have osteoporosis

spongy bone

New cards
98

Risk factors for osteoporosis

Females, Asian or Caucasian, low estrogen levels, poor diet, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, taking glucocorticoids.

New cards
99

Treatments for osteoporosis

Activity, resistance training, diet, supplements, medications to inhibit osteoclast activity,

New cards
100

abnormal bone formation due to lack of Vitamin D, calcitriol, or calcium/phosphate. Weight bearing bones such as the femur often bow in/out due to softness of bone
