The amount of categories of bones in the skeletal system.
What is 5 types
This zone of ossification is the area of normal chondrocytes.
What is resting cartilage
This is another name for bone ossification
osteogenesis
A round or oval opening through a bone.
What is a foramen
This is a fracture where there is an open wound or breaks in the skin near the site of the broken bone.
Compound Fracture.
This is a bone with a thin and long shape.
Long Bone
This zone of ossification is where cell division stops and cells increase in size.
What is the Zone of Hypertrophy
This is the age when nearly all bones are ossified
This type of bone marking has a smooth, rounded process that articulates with another bone.
What is a condyle
This is a fracture very common in children and when the bone breaks incompletely.
Greenstick
This bone has a flat shape and a broad surface.
Flat Bone.
This zone of ossification is where chondrocytes undergo successive mitotic divisions.
What is the Zone of Proliferation
This is the age when bone ossification starts
The third month of fetal development.
This type of bone marking has a prominent ridge (process) where tendons or ligaments attach.
What is a crest
This is an incomplete fracture where the bone only extends into the outer layer of the bone but not completely through the entire bone. (2 names)
Fissure/ Hairline
This bone has a shape that does not conform to the usual types of bone shapes.
Irregular Bone
This zone of ossification is where the bone matrix is deposited on remnants of calcified cartilage and chondrocytes die.
This is the cause of bone ossification
Osteoblasts penetrate the disintegrating cartilage and replace it with spongy bone.
This bone marking has a shallow, basin-like depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface.
What is a fossa
This is a fracture caused by excessive twisting
Spiral Fracture.
This bone has a cubed shape.
This zone of ossification is where dying cells begin to signal calcium and the cartilage matrix becomes harder making nutrition difficult.
What is the Zone of Calcification
This is the formation of extraskeletal bone in muscle and soft tissues.
heterotopic ossification
This bone marking has a very large, blunt irregularly shaped process.
What is a trochanter
This is the most common bone people fracture
The clavicle.
