Bone
This refers to exaggerated lumbar curve.
What is lordosis?
This fracture is when the skin is punctured.
What is an open (compound) fracture?
This FUNCTIONAL classification refers to articulations with no movement.
What is synarthrosis?
This refers to exaggerated thoracic curve.
What is kyphosis?
This fracture is a partial fracture; one side of bone breaks—the other side is bent (typically occur in children).
What is a greenstick fracture?
The elbow is an example of this type of diarthrotic, synovial joint.
What is a hinge joint?
These curves are seen in the fetus and are C-shaped.
What are the primary curves (thoracic and sacral)?
This fracture is at the distal ends of the tibia and fibula.
The axis that accompanies flexion and extension in the sagittal plane.
What is the frontal axis?
This sacrum in this skeleton is broad with less curvature.
What is the female skeleton?
This fracture is when bone is splintered into several small pieces between the main parts.
What is a comminuted fracture?
The structure of a synchondrosis joint.
What is cartilaginous?
This happens after the fibrocartilaginous (soft) callus forms in fracture repair.
What is the formation of bony callus?
This fracture is when a bone fragment is pulled off or separated from the rest of the bone by a soft tissue attachment.
What is an avulsion fracture?
A movement in which the distal end of a bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains stable.
What is circumduction?
