large tuberles and/or increased deposit of bony matrix occur at sites of_________ stress/tension
immature, or matrix depositing, bone cells are referred to as bone forming osteoblasts
causes blood calcium to be deposited in bones as calcium salts calcitonin

where red bone marrow fills in small spaces in the spongy bone epiphysis
thin layer of cartiage covering each epiphysis, functions like a cushion if it were placed over the ends of bones where they form a joint articular cartilage

passageways that connect the lacunae with one another and with the central canal in osteon canaliculi
canals that run lengthwise(horizontal) through the bony matrix carrying blood vessels and nerves to all areas of the bone haversian system
process in which bones grow in diameter and are controlled by growth hormone and sex hormones appositional growth
when does the growth of long bones end when the epiphiseal plates are completely converted to bone adolesence
early bone development before birth is made up of cartilage and fibrous structure
process of bone formation from cartilage enchondrial ossification
_____ are chords or bands made of strong connective tissue that holds two bones together ligaments
remnants of the epiphyseal plate epipyseal line
fetal skull differs from adult skull by newborn skull contains fontanels infants facial bones are very small compared to the cranium
placed in bone matrix as hard calcium salts when blood calcium levels are to high hypercalcemia
the communication pathway is completed by _____ which run into the compact bone at right angles to the shaft volkmanns canal
_____deposited into the matrix give bone its hardness, which resists compression. the organic parts (especially the collagen fibers) provide for bones flexibility and great strength calcium salts
bones are remodeled continually in response to changes in two factors: calcium levels in the blood pull of gravity and muscles on the skeletono
osteoblast once trapped become osteocytes
common fractures in older people comminuted-breaks into many fragments compression-bone is crushed (common in porous bones) "osteroporotic"
common fracture in children that the bones breaks like a green twig greenstick
common in sports fracture that is a ragged break due to excessive twisting forces spiral
depressed fracture that the bone portion is pressed inward skull fracture
bone ends are forces together into each others end and occurs when attempting to break a fall impacted
disease in which childrens bones fail to calcify rickets
a fracture in which the bone breaks cleanly but does not penetrate the skin simple or closed
a fracture in which the bone ends penetrate through the skin compound
stages of bone repair hematoma forms, break is splinted by a fibocartilage callus,bony callus forms,bone remodeling occurs
