🗑
What are the types of bone development?   Intramembranous ossification & endochondral ossification  
🗑
Intramembranous Ossification   When bones start out as fibrous connective tissues, then it goes into groups of stem cells in osteoblasts.  
🗑
Endochondral ossification   Most bones evolve from cartilage which clacifies into bone. It moves from the center out.  
🗑
Osteoporosis   Porus bones. When bones loose too much mass that they become extremely brittle. Found mainly in women.  
🗑
Hormones   A nutrition and heredity influenced growth.  
🗑
What are the steps of bone growth?   Lengthening, widening & thickening, remodeling  
🗑
Lengthening   Occurs at the epiphyseal plate. Age 25 for boys and 16 for girls.  
🗑
Widening & Thickening   Add new layers to the outside of the bone, then widens the inside of the canal.  
🗑
Remodeling   Destruction of old bone cells and replacing it with new cells. It releases calcium into the blood stream.  
🗑
What are the different types of fractures?   Simple, compound, green stick, comminuted, spiral, pathologic.  
🗑
Simple fracture   Bone remains aligned and the tissue intact.  
🗑
Compound fracture   Bone pierced the skin. Damage to tissue, nerves and blood vessels. More exposure to infection. Typically requires surgery.  
🗑
Green stick   Fracture is incomplete. Occurs mostly in children because their bones are softer.  
🗑
Comminuted   Bone broken into several pieces  
🗑
Pathologic   Break in diseased or weakened bone from a force that doesn't typically happen.  
🗑
Spiral   Fractures in a spiral around the bone. Result of a twisting force. Common in child abuse.  
🗑
What are long bones?   These bones have very long acid and are longer than they are wide. They work like levers and move limbs.  
🗑
What are flat bones?   Thin, flat, often curved bones that protect organs. They provide a large surface area for the attachment of muscles.  
🗑
Irregular bones   Often clustered in groups, they come in various sizes and shapes. Sesamoid bones are small bones embedded in tendons.  
🗑
Short bones   About as broad as they are long, these tend to be shaped like cubes.  
🗑
Electrolyte balance   Bones store and release minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Which are necessary ingredients for a variety of chemical reactions throughout the body.  
🗑
Blood production   Bones encase bone marrow, a major site of blood cell formation.  
🗑
Acid-base balance   Bone absorbs and releases alkaline salts to help maintain a stable pH  
🗑
What are the factors of growth and maintenance?   Hormones, Heredity and Nutrition.  
🗑
Osteogenesis Imperfecta   Known as brittle bone or glass bone disease. Bones are extremely easy to break.  
🗑
What are the skeletal divisions?   Axial & appendicular  
🗑
Axial   Skull, vertebrae and ribs. 80 bones in total.  
🗑
Appendicular   The remaining 126 bones of the body.  
🗑
What are the different bones in the skull?   Parietal, occipital, frontal, temporal  
🗑
Parietal bones   Found on the sides of the skull. We have 2  
🗑
Occipital Bone   The back of the skull  
🗑
Frontal Bone   The front of the skull  
🗑
Temporal bones   Sides of cranium and cranial flood. Found by your ears. We gave 2.

What are the facial bones ?   Maxillae, mandible and hyoid  
🗑

🗑
Tibia   Shin  
🗑
Fibula   Supports the ankle but NON weight bearing  
🗑
Epidermis   Outermost layer of skin. Consists of stratified squamous and epithelial tissue. Contains NO blood vessels. Instead it obtains oxygen and nutrients by diffusion from the dermis.  
🗑
Dermis   Inner, deeper layer, composed of connective tissues. Contains primarily collagen fibers but it also contains elastin and reticular fibers. Has an abundance of blood, sweat glands, sebaceous tissue and nerve endings.  
🗑
Collagen fibers   Strengthen the tissue  
🗑
Elastin fibers   Provide elasticity  
🗑
Reticular fibers   Bind collagen and elastin fibers together.  
🗑
Hypodermis   Subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin. Made up of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue. Helps regulate body temp and acts as an energy reservoir.  
🗑
What are the different skin functions?   Protection, barrier, vitamin d production, sensory perception and thermoregulation.  
🗑
Protection   Prevents micro organisms l, as well as many harmful chemicals from invading the body. Secretes a residue or surface film that helps blocks toxins and inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. Absorbs the force of injuries.  
🗑
Barrier   Keeps the body from absorbing excess water. Prevents dehydration by regulating the volume and content of fluid lost from the body. blocks uv radiation so it doesn’t reach the underlying tissues.  
🗑
