Osteopenia
- answer- Refers to bone mineral density (BMD) that is lower than normal peak BMD but not
low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis
- answer- Irreversible decrease in mineralized bony tissue.
Appositional growth
- answer- Growth by the addition of new layers on those previously former. Characteristic of
tissue former of rigid materials.
Endochondral growth
- answer- Process of bone formation whereby a cartilage model is replaced by bone.
Epiphyseal plates
- answer- Transverse cartilage plate near the end of a child's bone responsible for growth in
length of the bone.
Bone mass
- answer- The volume of bone in the body measured by mineral content
, Page 2 of 10
Bone mineral density
- answer- The mineral content in a given volume of bone, used as a measure of bony health
and in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
Joint
- answer- A point of articulation between two of more bones, especially such a connection that
allows motion.
Fibrous joints
- answer- Consist of two bones that are united by fibrous tissue and exhibit little or no
movement.
Cartilaginous joint
- answer- Unites two bones by means of either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
Synovial joints
- answer- Contain synovial fluid and allow for considerable movement between articulating
bones.
Hyaline cartilage
- answer- A tough, elastic, fibrous connective tissue found in various parts of the body, such as
the joints, outer ear, larynx.
