A fracture is a in the bone It can occur from either a quick one-time injury to the bone or from repeated inflicted on the bone over time?
Break: Stress<---Apex
What is bone stress?
Bone stress is when there is a lot of stress applied to the bones. Bone stress can be demonstrated with a plastic fork between two polarizing filters. The light that is polarized between the filters shows the bone stress. When you bend the transparent plastic fork, the light shows the stress in the fork in a brightly colored display.
Describe bone physiology and the bone remodeling cycle?
Bone is broken down and built up all the time. This occurs on the surface of all bone types. About 10% of bone is replaced each year. Osteoblasts build bone. Osteoclasts break it down. Calcium is needed for this process.
A break in bone?
a break in the bone is the same as a fracture.
Are Osteocyte bone building or bone destroying cell?
It is a bone cell. Osteo=bone+cyte=cell.Osteoblast build bone. Osteo=bone+blast=build.Osteoclasts break bone. -clast=break
A what is a break that occurs from repeated stress to a bone over time?
Stress fracture
What is the definition of a stress fracture?
A break that occurs from repeated stress to a bone over time.
Which is the correct definition of stress fracture?
A break that occurs from repeated stress to a bone over time.
What is acute fractured?
An acute fracture is a break in a bone that occurs quickly, rapidly and usually traumatically. A non-acute fracture is one that occurs over time, often because of repeated physical stress or impact placed on the bone.
What is a stress fraction?
You might be thinking of a stress fracture; a fracture of a bone caused by repeated (rather than sudden) mechanical stress.
What are Open Closed Greenstick and stress fractures?
Open Break this is when the skin is open and bone is visible, Closed Break this is when there is a break that doesn't tear the skin, Green stick this is when the bone is bent and broken on one side and lastly a Stress Fracture and this is when a fracture which is caused by to much use.

How does physical stress affect bone development?
Bones benefit from stress. It makes them grow stronger, as long as the stress is not sufficient to break them, of course.
What are the three types of injuries?
Simple FractureAccording to Chester College, a simple bone fracture, also called a closed fracture, occurs when the bone is broken but the broken edge of the bone does not penetrate the skin. If the injury is in the back, neck or head, you should not attempt to move the patient; instead contact emergency personnel. If you suspect a simple fracture in a limb, immobilize the limb and seek medical attention. A simple fracture is typically treated by immobilizing the limb in a cast for an extended period of time.Compound FractureA compound or open fracture occurs when the bone penetrates the skin, whether the bone remains outside the skin or not. In the case of a compound fracture, you should seek emergency aid and not try to move or stabilize the bone, as complications may occur. A compound fracture may require surgery, with or without metal pins being inserted to secure the bone edges; a cast is then applied to allow the bone time to heal.Stress FractureA stress fracture typically occurs when a bone is subjected to prolonged force or repeated impact, resulting in a hairline crack or multiple tiny fractures in the bone. This type of fracture is common in sports, such as running, when the foot bones are subjected to repeated stress. A stress fracture may be mistaken for a bad sprain, especially in the foot or ankle.There are 3 injuries of bones:Sprain,Dislocation,Fracture.
What is meant by a complete fracture?
Fractures are termed complete if the break is completely through the bone and described as incomplete or "greenstick" if the fracture occurs partly across a bone shaft
What is a fracture of the bone?
A broken bone is a bone that has suffered stress. Such stress could lead to several types of fractures.
What is the difference between an acute and non acute fracture?
A break in a bone from a quick, one-time injury
