25
45
New cards

46
New cards
Ossification
The process of replacing other tissues with bone
47
New cards
Calcification
The process of depositing calcium saltsOccurs during bone ossification and in other tissues
48
New cards
Two main forms of ossification

49
New cards
Endochondral Ossification
Ossifies bones that originate as hyaline cartilageMost bones originate as hyaline cartilageThere are seven main steps in endochondral ossification
50
New cards
Intramembranous (dermal) Ossification
Occurs in the dermisProduces dermal bones such as mandible (lower jaw) and clavicle (collarbone)
51

Types of Fractures
DisplacedEpiphysealCollesCompressionComminutedGreenstickTransverseSpiralPott's
55
New cards
Transverse
break a bone shaft along its long axis
56
New cards
Displaced
produce new and abnormal bone arrangements
57
New cards
Compression
occur in vertebrae subjected to stress
58
