A break in the continuity of a bone it tears and destroys blood vessels that carry nutrients to osteocytes fracture
Formation of a fracture hematoma, formation of internal and external bony callus which binds broken ends together then completion of bone remodeling fracture repair
Bone fracture due to weakened and diseased bone and not due to excessive forces on bone. Pathologic fracture
Pain in a bone Ostealgia
Bones become porous and weak occurs particularly in post menopausal women Osteoporosis
Develops when bones are not adequately mineralized usually due to a deficiency in vit D and the bones become soft Osteomalacia and Rickets
An abnormal projection on a bone from an overgrowth bone spur
35% organic components 65% inorganic components Bone
Ability of cells to replicate mitosis
Cell division that consists of the increase of cells during fetal growth, childhood and adolescence developmental growth
Cell division that consists of cells that replace other cells that naturally turnover such as epithelial cells cell replacements
Cell division that occurs when damage has been done and cells need to be replaced as in a skin cut or bone fracture tissue repair
Cells that cannot replicate after development brain and spinal cord nerve cells
Process which generates necessary changes to DNA in sperm and ova Meiosis
Most immediate source of energy for chemical rxns in the body is the molecule ATP
Consists of the sequential process of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain Cellular respiration
Chemical byproduct of cellular respiration carbon dioxide
The final electron receptor in the electron transport chain oxygen
Does not use oxygen anaerobic
Process that mainly uses glucose and produces little ATP but produces molecules which are needed by the other pathways to generate more ATP Glycolosis
Consists of additional pathways which become active when no oxygen is available to the cell and replenishes the molecules used in glycolosis so glycolosis can continue Does not produce ATP fermentation
Produces little ATP but does produce molecules which are needed in the electron transport chain in order to produce more ATP and also produces CO2 as a byproduct Krebs cycle
The product of the electron transport chain is a high yield of ATP
Used in the electron transport chain to accept mobile electrons used in the process Oxygen
Groups of cells that are similar in structure and function tissues
Four basic types of tissue Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
2 general classes of epithelial tissue membranous and glandular
Epithelium that covers the body and some of its parts and lines some cavities Membranous
Epithelium makes the secretory portion of glands Glandular
Tissue that has nerve fibers but no blood vessels and exchanges materials with the blood vessels in the underlying connective tissue Epithelium
Arrangement of cells a single layer simple
Arrangement of cells more than 1 layer stratified
Single layer but appears more than 1 layer pseudostratified
Flattened cell shape squamous
Epithelia that allows rapid diffusion and filtration to occur simple squamous
Example of simple squamous epithelia walls of the air sacs in the lungs
Epithelium that specialize in absorption and secretion simple cuboidal and simple columnar
Example of simple cuboidal epithelium kidney tubules
Epithelium of the digestive tract has microvilli for increased surface area simple columnar
Epithelium of the respiratory tract psuedostratified columnar
Epithelium that its main purpose is protection either keratinized or nonkeratinized stratified squamous

Fine unpigmented hair mostly gone by birth lanugo
Made up of dead cells which contains hard keratin hair
Contains the information for making proteins DNA
In addition to contributing to cellular structure perform the functions to maintain life have a very limited life span and therefore need to be constantly replenished proteins
Occurs in the cytoplasm at the ribosomes protein synthesis
Information on the DNA molecule for making a specific protein is put into a temporary molecule called messenger RNA
Mobile leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosome where a protein is made from its formation mRNA
Normal purposes of cell division include developmental growth, cell replacements, and tissue repair
Cell division that consists of the increase of cells during fetal growth childhood and adolescence developmental growth
Cell division that consists of cells that replace other cells that naturally turnover cell replacement
Cell division that occurs when damage has been done and cells need to be replaced tissue repair
Ability of cells to replicate mitosis
The 1st phase after the cells formation and can be subdivided` Interphase
The duplicated DNA condenses into chromosomes from chromatin, consists fo sister chromatids connected by a centromere, centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell Prophase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, sister chromatids are attached to the centrioles by spindle fibers Metaphase
Mitosis has 4 phases Interphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase
Occurs after interphase, process for distributing DNA to opposite ends of the cell, prepares the cell for dividing down the middle in order to outfit each new cell with DNA Mitosis
The sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other are pulled to the opposite ends by spindle fibers Anaphase
