Q

what can you assess if you find a lab report that shows elevated alkaline phosphatase?
when do you see alkaline phosphatase?

A

this is a marker for bone formation

bone diseases that have increased bone turnover

Q

how do osteoclasts look in the microscope?

A

multinucleated giant cell

18
Q

osteoclasts are derived from the the same cell as what other cells?

A

monocytes and macrophages

19
Q

osteoclasts contain a high amount of what?

A

acid phosphatase and collagenase

20
Q

where do osteoclasts do resorption of bone?

A

within Howship’s lacunae

21
Q

what factors influence osteogenesis by acting on osteoblasts and stromal cells?

what will these factors stimulate?

A

IL-1** (also, IL-6, 3, 11)
M-CSF**

change the activity of: RANK, RANK-L, Osteoprotegerin

22
Q

where do you find RANK?

A

on precursors of osteoclasts

23
Q

where do you find RANK-L?

A

on osteoblasts

24
Q

binding of RANK to RANK-L will cause what?

A

development of osteoclasts

25
Q

who secretes osteoprotegerin?

A

osteoblasts

26
Q

osteoprotegerin acts as what?

A

a decoy receptor

27
Q

what does osteoprotegerin do?

A

binds to RANK-L and blocks its action (STOPS oscteoCLASTogenesis)

28
Q

what do parathyroid and prostaglandins do?

A

increase RANK-L, decrease Osteoprotegerin, increase bone resorption

29
Q

what does estrogen do to bone?

A

lessens M-CSF and stimulates osteopretegerin, so it stops osteoclastogenesis

30
Q

what are the proteins found in bone?

A

type 1 collagen made by osteoblasts

31
Q

what are the 2 types of bone?

A

Lamellar and woven

32
Q

when do you see woven bone?

A

fetal skeleton

33
Q

how fast is woven bone made?

A

fast

34
Q

what kind of force does woven bone resist?

A

all types of forces from all directions equally

35
Q

what is lamellar bone?

A

orderly layered collagen deposition

36
Q

how strong is lamellar bone?

A

more strong than woven

37
Q

what is Intramembranous bone?

A

bone formation without a “cartilage model”

38
Q

what part of the body are made of intramembranous bone?

A

Flat bones such as the cranial bones, clavicles, vertebrae, ankle bones.

39
Q

what is Endochondral bone?

A

Indirect bone formation from a cartilage model, formed from cartilage at the epiphyseal growth plates

40
Q

what types of bones are made of endochondral bone?

A

long bones (femur or humerus)
