Classifications of bones (name 3)

What are long, flat, short, round, irregular, and facial bones?

100

This kind of tissue is significant in the long bones in an embryo.

What is hyaline cartilage. 

100

What are the jobs of the osteoblasts and osteoclasts?

Osteoblasts build. osteoclasts destroy 

100

This kind of fracture is an open wound or break in the skin near the site of the broken bone.

What is a compound fracture 

100

These two important minerals are stored in bones. 

What are calcium and phosphorus

200

The cranium falls into this category 

What is flat bones?

200

This section of the bone acts as a fat storage for adults

Medullary (or marrow) cavity (central cavity) 

200

How are osteocytes created? What are their filaments (tentacles) used for?

Osteocytes fusion of precursor cells Filaments create connections so the cells can send signals.

200

This fracture is most common in children. 

What are greenstick fractures. 

200

What is the function of yellow marrow in the bone?

What is fat storage. 

300

The arm and leg bones fall into this bone category. 

What is are long bones.  

300

This bone category is composed of two layers of compact bone and a layer of spongy bone between them.

What are flat bones 

300

These are the small cavities where osteocytes can be found.

What is the lucunae 

300

A fracture where the bone is broken into many fragments.

A comminuted fracture

300

These cells help with bone formation.

osetoblasts 

400

The coxal is this type of bone category. 

What is the irregular bone

400

This is found on the end of bones and used as cushion in joints.

What is hyaline (articular) cartilage.

400

What miracle do osteoblasts perform when healing a broken bone.

What is turning a blood clot into solid bone.

400

This type of fracture us common in osteoporotic bones

compression fractures 

400

This passageway allow blood cells within lacunae to receive nourishment from blood vessels.

 haversian canal

Mandible, maxillae, zygomatic bones, nasal bones are these types of bone categories. 

What are the facial bones?

500

A layer of fibrous connective tissue that covers the long portion of the bone

What is the periosteum?

500

What are two ways bone cells play a role in homeostasis

1. Building bone and destroying bone - keeps it healthy and renewed. 2. Calcium - if it's used up, destroy one to release more. If extra, store it.

500

What are the four stages in the healing of bone fractures? (Name them in order) 

1. The formation of hematoma at the break

2) the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus

3) the formation of a bony callus

4) remodeling and addition of compact bone.
