Explain why the pelvic bone is considered a single structure even though it is made up of three different bones.
Because the three bones are fused together to form one solid structure
Because they are all located in the leg
Because they are all the same size
Because they are not connected to any other bones

It increases rapidly
It remains the same
It starts to decrease
It doubles
Which of the following best describes the difference between a normal bone and an osteoporotic bone?
Osteoporotic bone is denser than normal bone
Normal bone is more porous than osteoporotic bone
Osteoporotic bone is less dense and more porous than normal bone
Both bones have the same density
What are joints?

Points where muscles connect
Points where nerves connect
Points where blood vessels connect
Joints that allow very little movement are typically connected by which of the following?

The vertebrae in the spine
The tibia at the ankle
Which type of fracture involves the bone being broken in a twist?
Spiral fracture

What is osteomyelitis?
A condition where bacteria infect the bone.
A condition where muscles become inflamed.
A condition where nerves are damaged.
A condition where skin cells multiply rapidly.
How does osteomyelitis differ from a normal bone condition?
Osteomyelitis involves bacterial infection, while a normal bone does not.
Osteomyelitis involves viral infection, while a normal bone does not.
Osteomyelitis involves increased bone density, while a normal bone does not.

Rest, Incision, Cast, Elevation
What is a herniated disc?
When the cartilage between the vertebrae balloons out from between the disks
When the bone in the spine breaks
When the muscles around the spine become inflamed
When the nerves in the spine are pinched by bone
Why does a herniated disc often result in severe pain?
Because it presses on nerves
Because it increases blood flow
Because it strengthens the vertebrae
Because it reduces cartilage thickness

This type of fracture has little or no movement or displacement of broken bones.
Closed Fracture
Open Fracture
Bone breaking through the surrounding tissues, including the skin, secondary to significant displacement of the bones.
Closed Fracture
Open Fracture
Incomplete break in a bone that have not completely ossified.
Greenstick Fracture
Oblique Fracture
Spiral Fracture
Transverse Fracture
S-shaped separation of the bone. Occurs when the foot is firmly planted and body is suddenly rotated.
Greenstick Fracture
Oblique Fracture
Spiral Fracture
