Types of Bones
The bones are thin, flat, and curved. They form the ribs, breastbones, and skull.
What are flat bones?
Shaft of a long bone.
What is diaphysis?
Perpendicular to long axis of bone.
Created by radiation, more dense structures show up white (bones and organs), less dense structures show up black (lungs and fat).
What is X-Ray imaging?
Fatty tissue found in the medullary cavity of most adult long bones.
What is yellow bone marrow?
Bones that are longer than they are wide.
End of a long bone.
What is epiphysis?
The fixation of a fractured bone from the inside.
What is internal fixation?
Covers the surfaces of bones where they come together to form joints.
What is articular cartilage?
A technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images of soft tissue.
What is MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)?
Layer of bone tissue having many small spaces and found just snide the layer of compact bone.
What is spongy bone?
Cavity within the shaft of the long bones filled with bone marrow.
Medullary Cavity
The fixation of a fractured bone from the outside.
What is an external fixation?
Uses sound waves to produce an image.
What is Ultrasound imaging?
The first stage in the healing of bone structure (the inflammation stage).
What is hematoma formation?
Dense, hard layers of bone tissue that lie underneath the periosteum.
What is compact bone?
What is the growth plate?
Epiphyseal Line
A fracture in which the bones has been twisted apart.
What is a spiral fracture?
The formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus.
What is the second stage of bone healing?
Use of a stiff, solid dressing around a limb or other body parts to immobilize it during healing.
What is a casting?
Bones of the vertebrae and face.
What are irregular bones?
A U-shaped bone in the neck that supports the tongue.
What is a hyoid bone?
Fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed.
Double-layered connective tissue that covers and nourishes the bone.
What is periosteum?
The third (the hard callus phase) AND the fourth (callus is remodeled) stages of bone healing.
What is Bony Callus Formation AND Bone remodeling?
