Definition
| Large, rough projection of bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Narrow zone that connects the epiphysis to the bone shaft |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Long, tubular section of bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Trabecular (spongy) bone surrounded by a thin covering, or cortex, of compact bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Highly vascular tissue located in the medullary cavity (innermost part) of bone; site of red blood cell production |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Adipose (fat) tissue located in the medullary cavity |
|

Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Cells which produce new bone matrix via osteogenesis (ossification) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Organic matrix produced by osteoblasts during ossification |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Enzymes secreted by osteoclasts dissolve the matrix and release stored minerals |
|
|
Term

Definition
| Thin, roughly parallel surfaces |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Shallow depression or recess in a bone structure, such as the pelvis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Increase in the diameter size of existing bone |
|
|
Term
| Intramembranous Ossification |
|
Definition
| Bone begins to develop deep in the dermis; cartilage slowly hardens into bone, such as during the development of a fetus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Epiphyseal cartilage develops very slowly; the trunk of the patient would be a normal size, whereas the limbs wold seem shorter than normal. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Excessive epiphyseal cartilage formation causes long, slender limbs, and other connective tissue abnormalities cause cardiovascular issues |
|
|
Term
| Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) |
|
Definition
| A gene mutation causes excess bone development around the skeletal muscles, severely limiting mobility. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Break along the axis of a bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Produces by twisting stresses, such as if an anaconda were to wrap itself around the limb of a person |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The broken bone is misaligned from its normal position |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The vertebrae in the back might fracture in this way under instances of extreme stress |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Most common in children due to the fact that bone is still not fully developed, the bone appears broken on one side and bent on the other. |
