HCR 240 Pathophysiology - Final review (Modules 4 - 7)
UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
How to study for the final 1) Study more than this quizlet! Use these resources:
https://sites.google.com/view/patho-links/
2) Study for 15-30 minutes every day
3) Actively practice remembering information - don't just re-read your notes!
Rheumatology Study of inflammation of the muscles, bones, and joints
Cortical bone Hard, dense, strong bone that forms the outer layer of bone; also called compact
bone
Trabecular bone Interior, spongy bone with a porous, honeycomb structure; also called cancellous
bone
Haversian canal One of a network of tubes running through compact bone that contains blood
vessels and nerves
Volkmann canals Connect Haversian canals
Osteoblast Bone-forming cell
Osteoclast Bone-destroying cells
, Synovial joints Freely movable joints, which are composed of an outer fibrous capsule, which
encases interior synovial membranes, articular cartilage, and synovial fluid.
Ex: shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, hand, and fingers
Cartilage A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and that protects the ends of
bones and keeps them from rubbing together.
Articular cartilage Hyaline cartilage that covers ends of bones in synovial joints
Chondrocytes Cells that secrete extracellular matrix of cartilage
Interphalangeal joints Knuckle joints, usually referring to the fingers
Metatarsophalangeal joint Toe knuckle joints
Arthropathy Any joint disease
Arthritis Inflammation of a joint
Myositis Inflammation of the skeletal muscles
Osteoporosis A condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily. Bone
demineralization caused by greater osteoclastic activity compared with
osteoblastic activity.
Osteopenia Abnormal reduction of bone mass
Osteoarthritis (OA) Progressive, degenerative joint disease with loss of articular cartilage and
hypertrophy of bone (formation of osteophytes, or bone spurs) at articular
surfaces
Osteophytes Bone spurs; a bony outgrowth associated with the degeneration of cartilage at
joints.
Bouchard's nodes Swelling at the proximal interphalangeal joint; classic presentation for
osteoarthritis
Heberden's nodes Swelling at the distal interphalangeal joint,; classic presentation for osteoarthritis
