1, 3, 4

Types of spinal abnormalities:

1. Scoliosis- the spinal strays laterally from the midline. 2. Lordosis- "sway back", results in lumbar curvature exaggerated in the ventral (anterior) direction. 3. Kyphosis- humped back due to a thoracic curvature exaggerated in the dorsal (posterior) direction

The three types of joints:

1. Synarthroses- immovable joints; fibrous joints 2. Amphiarthroses- slightly movable joints; cartilaginous joints 3. Diathroses- freely movable joints; synovial joints

There are four stages in the healing of a bone fracture. Which of the following best illustrates the sequence of these stages? 1. bony callus formation 3. fibrocartilage callus formation 2. bone remodeling 4. hematoma formation
