The answers that best complete the statements above are the terms BREAK and STRESS, respectively. When we say fracture of the bone, what happens is that the integrity of the bone structure is broken due to an outside stressor such as force acquired through accidents or injuries. Fractures can be fixed but it takes a long time for bone-healing.
