compression fracture
Which of the following describes spiral fractures? - fractures that are produced by twisting stresses that spread along the length of the bone - fractures in which only one side of the shaft is broken and the other is bent - fractures that produce new and abnormal bone arrangements - fractures that break the bone shaft across its long axis
fractures that are produced by twisting stresses that spread along the length of the bone
Cells that secrete the organic components of the bone matrix are called osteoblasts. osteocytes. osteoclasts. chondrocytes. osteoprogenitor cells.
osteoblasts
Cells of the perichondrium need to take on a new role as ossification begins. They will become __________. fibroblasts, to coat the model in collagen osteoclasts and dissolve cartilage matrix osteoblasts and begin to deposit bone matrix new chondrocytes, so the model can continue to grow
osteoblasts and begin to deposit bone matrix
