Basic Science Flashcards
Multifunctional transcription factor that directs transformation of undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblast
RUNX2
Derived from undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells
Osteoblasts
Produced by osteoblast
Type 1 collagen Alkaline phosphatase Osteocalcin Bone sialoprotein RANKL
Constitute 90 percent of cells in the mature skeleton
Osteocyte
Important for control of extracellular calcium and phosphorus concentration, and are less active in matrix production
Osteocyte
Derived from hematopoietic cells in the macrophage lineage
Osteoclast
Produced by osteoblast
Binds to immature osteoclasts, and stimulates differentiation into active, mature cells that result in an increase bone resorption
Osteoclast
Inhibits bone resorption by binding and inactivating RANKL
Osteoprotegerin
Lysosomal proteolytic digestion enzyme of osteoclast
Cathepsin K
Osteoclast bind to bone surfaces by means of
Integrins
Vitronectin receptor
Directly inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption
Bisphosphonate
How do bisphosphonates inhibit resorption
Inhibiting farsenyl pyrophosphate synthase in the melavonate pathway
Bone matrix composition
60% inorganic (mineral)
40% organic
Constitutes the majority of inorganic matrix
Calcium hydroxyapatite
Ca10(PO4)6(OH2)2
90% of organic component
Type 1 collagen
Most abundant noncollagenous protein in bone
Osteocalcin
Law that states that remodeling occurs in response to mechanical stress
Wolff’s law
Law that states that compressive forces inhibit growth, whereas tension stimulate it
Hueter-Volkmann law
Three major types of bone formation
Enchondral formation
Intramembranous formation
Appositional formation
Bone replaces a cartilage model
Enchondral ossification
Formation occurs without a cartilage model
Intramembranous formation
Osteoblast lay down new bone on existing bone
Appositional formation
Supplies the chondrocytes
Groove of Ranvier
Three stages of fracture repair
Inflammation
Repair
Remodeling
Closed treatment fracture healing type
Periosteal bridging callus
Interfragementary enchondral ossification
Fracture healing type compression plate
Primary cortical healing
BMP
BMP2 - acute open tibia fractures
BMP7 - tibial non union
BMP3 - no osteogenic activity
Properties of bome grafts
Osteoconduction
Osteoinduction
Osteogenic
Osteoconduction
Acts as scaffoLd for bone growth
Osteoinduction
Invilves growth factors that stimulate bone formation
Osteogenic
Contain primitive mesenchymal cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes
Primary hemeostatic regulators of serum calcium
PTH
1,25(OH2)2 - vitamin D3
Increased serum calcium
Decreased inorganic phosphate
PTH
Age range when bone mass is at its peak
16-25
Most common cause of hypercalcemia
Malignancy
Chronic renal disease
Phosphorus retention and secondary hyperparathyroidism
Renal osteodystrophy
Failure of mineralization
Children - rickets
Adults - osteomalacia
Width of the zone of provisional calcification is increased, which caused physeal widening and cupping
Rickets
Defined as a lumbar bone density of 2.5 or more SD less than the peak bone mass of a healthy 25 y.o.
Osteoporosis
