Bone formation Flashcards
Actions of PTH
Activate osteoclasts
Converts 1 OH Vit D -> 2 OH in KIDNEYS
Increased CA resorption
Increased PHOS excretion
Preferred lab test for Vit D level
25-OH cholecalciferol
1st OH added in LIVER
Proximal to distal growth in embryo
Apical ectodermal ridge (FGF)
Anterior-posterior growth in embryo
Zone of depolarizing activity (Sonic hedgehog, HOX)
what the notochord becomes
anterior VB
Nucleus pulposus
Compression at growth plate
SLOWS longitudinal growth
Tension at growth plate
ACCELERATES longitudinal growth
Proliferative zone physeal diseases
Achondroplasia
Gigantism
MHE
Hypertrophic zone physeal diseases
SCFE
Rickets (prov calcification)
Salter Harris fx (prov calcification)
where osteochondromas come from
Groove of Ranvier
Fastest bone graft resorption
CA sulfate
Highest compressive strength bone graft
CA phosphate
What does Sonic hedgehog do
A->P limb development via ZPA
What does Indian hedgehog do
osteoclast precursors
Upstream from Wnt
Longitudinal growth at the physis (what zone)
Proliferative zone (chondrocyte hypertrophy)
