  • What is hematopoiesis and where does it occur?

    Hematopoiesis is the production of blood cells, occurring in the red bone marrow within certain bones.
  • Why does a trochanter exist on the femur?

    A trochanter is a large, irregular process for muscle attachment, providing leverage instead of a smooth surface.
  • Why do paraplegic patients have thin, weak leg bones?

    Due to Wolff's law, bones weaken without mechanical stress from muscle use or weight bearing.

  • Function of collagen in bone matrix

    Provides flexibility and tensile strength
  • Function of calcium in bone matrix

    Provides hardness and resistance to compression
  • Effect of lacking collagen in bone

    Bones become brittle and prone to fracture
  • Effect of lacking calcium in bone

  • Closed fracture

    Bone ends do not protrude through skin
  • Open fracture

    Bone protrudes through skin
  • Greenstick fracture

    Partial fracture where one side breaks and the other bends
  • Colles' fracture

    Fracture of distal radius
  • Comminuted fracture

    Bone splinters into more than two pieces
  • Compression fracture

    Bone is crushed, often causing stooped posture in elderly
  • Spiral fracture

    Caused by twisting of bone
  • Difference between open and closed reduction

    Open reduction involves surgical exposure; closed reduction is manipulation without surgery
  • Difference between internal and external fixation

    Internal fixation uses implants inside the body; external fixation uses external devices to stabilize bones
  • Hormone released when blood calcium is low

    Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
  • Function of PTH

    Increases blood calcium by stimulating osteoclasts and calcium absorption

    Calcitonin
  • Function of calcitonin

    Decreases blood calcium by inhibiting osteoclasts and promoting calcium deposition in bone
