Hardened or thickened part of the skin, especially on the palm of the hand or sole of the foot, as from continual friction or pressure. Also called calosity.
A callus (or callosity) is a toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard in response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation. Rubbing that is too frequent or forceful will cause blisters rather than allow calluses to form.

What are the four stages of bone formation?
There are four stages in the repair of a broken bone: 1) the formation of hematoma at the break, 2) the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, 3) the formation of a bony callus, and 4) remodeling and addition of compact bone.
Fracture bridge occurs during what stage of bone healing?
Reparitive phase - 2nd phase of bone healing
What is the importance of friable callus in organogenesis?
A friable callus is a callus formation that has grown with the cells further apart. When a callus is not friable, it is dense and compact and when it is used to regenerate plant tissue, it grows into a lump and doesn't grow to a viable plant. A friable callus, however, allows the regenerating tissue to grow suspensions.
What structure is involved in long bone growth length?
Intramembranous ossification Endochondral ossification Appositional growth
Formation of the bony callus in fracture repair is followed by?
Bone remodeling to convert woven bone to compact bone

Is it callous formation or callus formation?
If you're talking about the the process of creating extra tissue, write "callus formation." If you're describing the tissue itself, you might write "callous formation," but typically you would just use the word "callus." "Callous" is also an adjective that means something akin to cruel.
What is the final stage in the healing of a bone fracture?
The order of stages of bone fracture healing is formation of a hematoma, formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, formation of a bony callus, and, finally, bone remodeling.
Which layer of the epidermis thickens during the formation of a callus?
Stratus corneum

What is the order of the five stages of acute fracture healing after hematoma formation and before remodeling?
Hematoma formation, cellular proliferation, callus formation, ossification, remodeling
Formation of the bony callus in fracture repair is followed by?
Bone remodeling to convert woven bone to compact bone
What is a plantar callus?
A plantar callus, a callus that occurs on the sole of the foot, has a white center.
What is the homophone for callus?
Callous is the homophone for callus.
How do you use callus remover?
How a callus remover is used depends on the type of callus remover. Some callus removers come in the form of medication or creams and others come in the form of exfoliating devices and are used to "buff away" the callus.
