What pervents parts of bone from being resorbed?
Lined w/ osteoid
What is the difference between Woven and Lamellar bone?
Woven: Random weave
Lamellar: Organized. Stronger
Where is Woven bone seen?
Fetal skeleton and growth plates, Callus, Fibrous Dysplasia, Surrounding tumor or infection
What are the traits of Achondroplasia?
Dwarfism. Def in signal transduction. FGFR Persistently activated. Dec prolif of chondrocytes @ growth plates. AD. HH Lethal
Hh Dwarfed
What are the zones of The Growth Plate?
1) Reserve Z
2) Proliferation Z
3) Hypertrophy
4) Mineralization

2) Lethal: In utero demise
3/4) Survive fracures in infancy/childhood but have progressive Deformity
What are the features of OI type 1?
Blue Sclerae, Dental and hearing problems, Inc risk lof fracture
What are the traits of Osteopetrosis?
Marble bone disease
Dec in Osteoclastic bone resorption => skeletal sclerosis. Inc mineralization
Thick brittle bones
What are the hematologic signs of Osteopetrosis?
Anemia, thrombocytopenia, Inc risk of infection
What are the traits of Osteoporosis?
Reduced bone mass
Cortex and Trabeculae are thinned
