Bone and Cartilage Pathology I Flashcards
osteoid
soft and squishy
osteoblast derived proteins
type I collagen
osteoblasts
lay down bone
mononuclear**
osteoblastic tumor
prostate pets
-lays down bone
osteoclasts
macrophage family
break down bone
multinucleated - 3-25 nuclei**
bone homeostasis
10% bone replace anually
peak bone mass
early in adulthood right after puberty
catabolic
break down bone
anabolic
lay down new bone
increased PTH
osteoclast activity
decreased PTH
osteoblast activity
RANK/RANK-L
interaction stimulates osteoclast formation
FGFR3
achrondoplasia
COL1A1 and COL1A2
osteogenesis imperfecta
HOXD13
bradydactylyl type D and E
common cause of dwarfism
achondroplasia
blue sclera
osteogenesis imperfecta
short broad terminal phalanges of first digits
bradydactyly
most common disease of growth plate
achondroplasia
why blue sclera
missing collagen type I
-see choroid of eye through sclera
brittle bone disease
osteogenesis imperfecta
deficiency in synthesis of collage type I
osteogenesis imperfecta
kids with lots of fractures
osteogenesis imperfecta
subtypes of OI
1 - decreased synthesis of pro-alpha1 chain
auto dominant
2 and 3 - don’t survive
4 - compatible with life auto dominant
-short pro-alpha2
