After a Fracture Occurs, A(n)________ Forms as a Network of Spongy

Question

After a fracture occurs, a(n)________ forms as a network of spongy bone unites the inner edges.
A) external callus
B) blood clot
C) spicule
D) internal callus
E) fracture hematoma

Accepted Answer

An internal callus forms as spongy bone grows and unites the inner edges of a fracture, while an external callus can also form as a collar of cartilage and bone surrounds the outer edges. A blood clot, fracture hematoma, and spicule may also be involved in the initial stages of bone healing but do not specifically form a network of spongy bone.
