Week 4 of 17
FEBRUARY 11 TO 18
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
When bone graft material is scarce, who gets it first? We had to name an actual allocation rule and then defend it, which is harder than saying it should be fair.
Osteoblasts build, osteoclasts break down, osteocytes maintain. Bone is not a rock, it is a tissue being continuously demolished and rebuilt by three cell types that have to stay in balance.
X-rays and fracture models. Greenstick, transverse, comminuted, spiral. We had to classify each break, name the nearest joint type, and describe the position using the directional terms from week one.
CLASSMATE
The bone recorded how it was broken. You are reading an event that already happened.
Four stages of healing: hematoma, soft callus, hard callus, remodeling. Then matching each stage to the bone cells doing the work, which ties straight back to Tuesday.
Bone cell chart, fracture table, repair CER.
