subluxation
What structure of the bone is damaged with osteoarthritis?
What are three functions of the skeletal system?
Support- Provide framework/gives body its shape, Allows movement - Muscles attached to bones/levers, Provides protection for vital organs, Produces red blood cells in the marrow of long bones and Stores vital minerals such as calcium
a fracture where the the bones are no longer in anatomical alignment
displaced fracture
What do you need to check before and after applying a splint?
Circulation, sensation and motor responses
A condition that produces a reduction in bone mass great enough to compromise normal function. Because bones are more fragile, they break easily and do not repair well.
Osteoporosis

Greenstick fx
What type of splint would be best for a compound tibia and fibula fracture?
vacuume splint
What type of exercise is good for someone with osteoarthritis?
water sports
describe an inflammatory condition of the skeletal system
bursitis, arthritis
a grating or grinding sensation can be felt and sometimes even heard when bone ends move on one another which indicates a fracture
crepitus
What injuries are associated with dislocations?
sprains and fractures
Describe at least 3 causes of osteoporosis.
Decreased estrogen levels (postmenopausal women at greater risk)
Poor Nutrition (Vitamin D and Calcium deficiency)
Low activity levels
Smoking (decreases estrogen levels)
Race (Caucasians are at greater risk)
