Fractures
Chemistry
100

This type of cell junction is used where liquid contents are meant to kept in and not leaking into other tissues.

Tight Junction

100

This condition is caused by the overexcretion of hGH in adults. The bones do not grow in length but joints of the hands, feet, and jaw enlarge.

Acromegaly

100

This denser fibrous membrane covers the surface of the bone and serves as the attachment point of muscles and tendons.

Periosteum

100

This type of fracture, more common in children, involves a bending of the bone where one side breaks but does not continue all the way through the bone.

Greenstick

100

This type of bonding involves ions; a cation and anion, being attracted to each other because of charge.

Ionic Bonding

200

Primarily seen in muscular and nervous tissue, this type of cellular junction releases it's secretion into the extracellular fluid, where it moves to the receptors on the target tissue.

Gap Junction

200

The medical term for Bow-Leggedness

Genu Varum

200

Oops there goes gravity, the astronaut is going to lose bone mass because of bone's relationship with this mechanical force.

Exercise

200

This specific fracture is of the fibula, and has an accompanying injury of the tibiotalar articularion.

Pott's Fracture

200

This element is the most abundant type of atom in a carbohydrate.

Hydrogen

300

This type of junction is seen in areas of high stress and involves extra fibers to anchor cells to each other.

Desmosomes

300

An abnormal lateral bending of the spine, usually in the thoracic region. Has a direct effect on the individuals ability to breath.

Scoliosis

300

While some of this activity is done in *every* bone, the bones that do the most are irregular and flat bones, such as the ribs, the pelvis, and the vertebra.

Hemopoiesis

300

This type of fracture results with the bone being splintered or crushed.

Comminuted

300

These four elements make up 96% of the atoms that make up the human body.

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen

400

This type of junction is often seen in tissues that want to conduct electricity.

Gap Junctions

400

This metabolic condition is more common in the elderly, especially elderly women, and makes it easier to break bones due to reduced bone mass.

Osteoporosis.

400

This structure serves as a means for a growing bone to add length to it's metaphysis.

Epiphyseal Plate
400

Individuals that spend a lot of time jumping, hiking, or running on uneven surfaces might develop this type of fracture.

Stress Fracture

400

The presence of this element is a requirement for something to be considered Organic.

Carbon

500

This type of junction is purposefully made less effective through the effects of Histamine.

Tight Junction

500

This condition affects more men than women and is characteristic of disrupted bone recycling, resulting in bones that while larger, are weaker than normal.

Paget's Disease

500

Osteons or Haversian systems are the typical structure of compact bone structure; these "little beams" are typical of spongy bone.

Trabeculae

500

This type of fracture is more worrisome in children than adults because of a possible injury to the epiphyseal plate which may alter bone growth in the future.

Impact/Compression Fracture.

500

When we talk about pH, this is the type of ion we are measuring when we look at numbers above 7.
