Amphiarthrosis {Ans: A joint which is slightly moveable}Calcitonin End Result {Ans: Decrease blood calcium concentration}Estrogen & Testosterone {Ans: Both stimulate osteoblast activity; stimulate bone formation}Articulations {Ans: Contact point between bone & bone, bone & cartilage, or bone & teeth}Traumatic {Ans: Normal bone experiencing abnormal forces}Growth Hormone {Ans: Stimulates cell growth and protein synthesis (collagen); stimulates formation of insulin like growth factors}Cartilage Tissue {Ans: Chondrocytes; gel-like substance containing proteoglycan, elastic, collagen, or reticular fibers}Factors that Affect Bone {Ans: Diet; Hormones; Exercise}Calcitonin Stimulus {Ans: High blood calcium}Scurvy (Organic) {Ans: Vitamin C deficiency impairs collagen synthesis and leads to brittle bones}Fracture {Ans: Broken bone; a break in the continuity of bone rendering it structurally incompetent}Complete fracture {Ans: Loss of continuity}Compact Bone Function {Ans: Gives long bones ability to withstand forces along longitudinal axis}Spongy Bone Location {Ans: Epiphyses of long bones; surrounding marrow cavities; flat, short, irregular bones}Rickets (Inorganic) {Ans: Calcium deficiency due to lack of vitamin D leads to flexible bones (bowed legs)}Non-displaced {Ans: Complete fracture which does not result in separation of broken bone pieces}Fibrous {Ans: Dense irregular CT between bones}Tx for Bone Fractures
