Question
Answer
Eponymns   The naming of conditions and diseases for the physician or scientist who first discovred or classified them.  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   Forms the central axis of the body and includes the skull, vertebral column, and bony thorax.  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Includes the paired long bones of the body.  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Cells that form bone.  
🗑
Osteocytes   imprisoned within the mineralized matrix of the bone.  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Cells that reabsorb bone for the purpose of growth and repair.  
🗑
Cortical bone   Compact bone  
🗑
Cancellous bone   Spongy bone  
🗑
Periosteum   A thickened layer of connective tissue  
🗑
Physis   distal end of bones.  
🗑
Epiphysis   The portion of bone just beyond the growth plate.  
🗑
Diaphysis   located between the epiphysis.  
🗑
Inflammatory Response   The phase in healing that creates an environment for the repair to begin  
🗑
Reparative phase   The phase in fracture healing when granulation tissue begins to infiltrate the area, forms callus, and stabilizes fractured bone ends.  
🗑
Remodeling   The phase in fracture healing when the bone tends to return to its normal shape and contours; the callus is reabsorbed and replaced by new bone laid down following the original lines of stress of the bone.  
🗑
Skelatal muscles   Major muscles associated with the musculoskeletal system; they are made up of striated, cylinder shaped cells, and can be controlled by choice (voluntary).  
🗑
Tendons   Bands of connective tissue that bind muscles to bones.  
🗑
Cartliage   The connective tissue that covers the epiphysis of joints and allows bones to attach to other bones.  
🗑
Ligaments   Bands of connective tissue that support joints by attaching bone to bone.  
🗑
Sprain   The damage that occurs as joints are stretched and ligaments are damaged.  
🗑
Strain   Injury to the tendons of muscles.  
🗑
Fibrous joints   Joints that are made of dense connective tissue that provide stability and permit only very slight movement  
🗑
Cartilaginous joints   Joints that play a role early in life promoting growth and later become immobile.  
🗑
Synovial Joints   Joints that are fluid filled to lubricate the articulations.  
🗑
Luxation   Complete dislocation of a joint.  
🗑
Subluxation   Partial or incomplete dislocation of a joint; can result in damage and instability of the joint.  
🗑
Neurovascular bundle   refers to the association of nerves and blood vessels in close proximity to one another.  
🗑
Reduction   The movement of misaligned bone ends or a displaced joint to restore proper alignment.  
🗑
Open Fracture   Any soft tissue wound adjacent to a suspected fracture  
🗑
Closed Fracture   A break in a bone that is not associated with an over lying skin wound tissue.  
🗑
Incomplete Fracture   fracture that involves only one side of the bone.  
🗑
Complete Fracture   A fracture that involves all of the layers of a bone.  
🗑
Displaced fracture   a fracture where there is movement of the two bone fragments away from one another.  
🗑
Nondisplaced fracture   a fracture where a break through the bone results in the two fragments remaining in alignment with one another.  
🗑
Comminuted fracture   a fracture that involves several breaks in a bone.  
🗑
Pathological fracture   a fracture that occurs through diseased bone due to an inherent underlying weakness.  
🗑
Stress fracture   Break in a bone caused by repetitive, long term, or abnormal stress, usually occurs in the foot, common in athletes and soldiers.  
🗑
Epiphyseal plate fracture   A fracture near, or through, the epiphyseal plate that can result in alternations to growth of the bone.  
🗑
Nightstick fracture   A linear fracture resulting in two segments, often as a result of being struck on the arm with a stick.  
🗑
Crush fracture   a comminuted or transverse fracture associated with extensive soft tissue injurty that usually results in significant morbidity.  
🗑
Torus fracture   a fracture characterized by a buckling of one side of the cortex, usually in the metaphyseal region, and most often result from compressive forces.  
🗑
Greenstick fracture   a fracture resulting from an angular force applied to a long bone that causes a break in the convex side of the cortex and a bowing of the concave side of the cortex; it may result in a bent deformity of the exremity.  
🗑
Spiral fracture   a break in a bone that is caused by a rotational force or twisting motion.  
🗑
Oblique fracture   Fractures of bones that occur at a slanting angle.  
🗑
Fat embolism syndrome   fat globules that are released into the blood when a long bone is fractured.  
🗑
Compartment syndrome   Syndome that is caused by increased pressure in an enclosed space that leads to compromise of circulation and function of tissues within the space.  
🗑
Destot's sign   a superficial hematoma of the scrotum or perineum.  
🗑
Hemarthrosis   blood that accumulates in a joint.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
