Examples of callus in the following topics:
-
- The repair tissue between the broken bone ends, the fibrocartilaginous callus, is composed of both hyaline and fibrocartilage .
- Bony callous formation: The fibrocartilaginous callus is converted into a bony callus of spongy bone.
- Bone remodeling: The bony callus is then remodelled by osteoclasts and osteoblasts, with excess material on the exterior of the bone and within the medullary cavity being removed.
-
- These processes culminate in a new mass of heterogeneous tissue which is known as the fracture callus.
- Eventually, all of the woven bone and cartilage of the original fracture callus is replaced by trabecular bone, restoring most of the bone's original strength.
- Eventually, the fracture callus is remodeled into a new shape which closely duplicates the bone's original shape and strength.
- This figure depicts a communitive midshaft humeral fracture with callus formation.
-
- Eventually, all of the woven bone and cartilage of the original fracture callus is replaced by trabecular bone, restoring most of the bone's original strength.
- Eventually, the fracture callus is remodeled into a new shape that closely duplicates the bone's original shape and strength.
-
- But in civilian life, it is seldom diagnosed correctly for a week or two, when, because of lack of immobilization, there is an excessive deposit of callus (which may be palpable) around the fracture.
-
- The plant part often gives rise to an undifferentiated mass, known as a callus, from which, after a period of time, individual plantlets begin to grow.
-
- In the form of skin, hair, callus, cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments, proteins hold together, protect, and provide structure to the body of a multi-celled organism.
