decubitus ulcer
pressure sores, result from skin breakdown. common in older patients with fragile skin. Its common in areas of bony processes, ischial tuberosities, greater trochanter, sacrum. This is why we do turns every 2 hours. if peron isnt moved, can get skin breakdown. very careful with diabetic patients who have less skin sensitivity
stages of decubitus ulcers
- skin is unbroken, but inflamed and red
- skin is broken down to epidermis or dermis
- ulcer extends to subcutaneous fat layer. gets down pretty deep. infections can spread easily
4.Ulcer spreads down to muscle or bone
Third degree burn
1.caused by a burn that spreads below the follicles,
- burns all the way through the dermis below the follicles.
3.no more progenitor stem cells left.

4.keratinocytes break through basal layer of the epidermis, doesnt have basement membrane cap
appearance of squamous cell carcinoma
scaly, reddened papule, (small rounded elevation). most often on head (scalp, ears, lower lip) and hands
why is basal cell carcinoma unlikely to metastasize?
basal cells have built-in ability to make fibers and proteins tend to seal themselves off
Why is it bad for keratinocytes and other epidermal cells to break into the dermis?
cancerous epidermal cells lose their positional information. They grow out of control and enter the bloodstream.

why is melanoma likely to metastasize?
melanocytes naturally have the ability to produce cytoplasmic extensions. so theyre quick to invade other tissues
function of cytoplasmic extensions on melanocytes
transfer melanin granules to keratinocytes
neoplasm
new growth

Can happen to anyone.
Patches of no pigmentation.
Is autoimmune disorder where immune system incorrectly attacks melanocytes.
80% of all autoimmune cases are in women
why do some people have darker skin than others?
darker skin: delivery of lots of melanosomes into keratinocytes in stratum spinosum. more resistant to UV radiation. less likely to get cancer. need more sunlight for vitamin d needs
mole
benign growth of melanocytes
everyone has the same number of
melanocytes. only type and amount of melanin that varies producing different skin tones

neuromuscular junction
where a motor unit meets a muscle. place where synaptic knob hovers over a special area called a motor ends plate
Innervated skeletal muscle
why does motor end plate wind back and forth?
To increase the surface area so we can have more ligand-gated sodium channels
motor end plate
made of ligand gated receptors on the sarcolemma. ACh binds to ligand gated sodium channels and causes influx of sodium into neighboring cell
Anatomy of neuromuscular junction . Include cellular level details for the motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
- The action potential arrives at the axon terminal of the motor neuron
2.Voltage gated Ca 2+ channels open. Ca 2+ enters the axon terminal, moving down it’s electrochemical gradient. - Ca2+ entry causes ACh (a neurotransmitter) to be released by exocytosis
4.ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to ACh receptors on the sarcolemma.
- ACh binding opens chemically gated ion channels that allow the simultaneous passage of Na+ into the muscle fiber and K+ out of the muscle fiber. More Na+ ions enter than K+ ions exit, which causes a local change in membrane potential called the end plate potential
- ACh effects are terminated by its breakdown in the synaptic cleft by acetylcholinesterase and diffusion away from the junction

pagetic bone
has abnormally high ratio of spongy bone to compact bone. Reduced mineralization causes weakening of the bones
Describe the roles of osteoclasts and osteoblasts
during bone remodeling (controlled by hormones like growth hormone, estrogen, testosterone, calcium ion levels in blood):
- osteoclasts: bone is resorbed by osteoclasts. Breaks down at the ends.In endosteum. Remove bone from inner surface of the diaphysis
- osteoblasts add bone by appositional growth (on the sides)(bones grow in width). Osteoblasts in the periosteum add bone matrix to the outside of the diaphysis.
- Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts at the center.
osteoprogenitor cells found in
The inner osteogenic layer next to the bone surface contains osteoprogenitor cells (primitive stem cells that give rise to most bone cells).
osteocytes
mature bone cells that occupy lacunae, maintain matrix. Connected to eachother by central canal and canaliculi.
What role does each cell type play in bone remodeling?
osteoclasts,
osteoprogenitor cells,
osteoblasts,
osteocytes
osteoclasts: responsible for breaking down or resorbing old or damaged bone tissue
osteoprogenitor cells. Release enzymes that help dissolve the mineralized matrix of bone. after old bone is resorbed…. osteoblasts
Osteoprogenitor cells: also called osteogenic cells, are mitotically active stem cells found in the membranous periosteum and endosteum. In growing bones they are flattened or squamous cells. When stimulated, these cells differentiate into osteoblasts, while others persist as osteoprogenitor cells.
osteoblasts: produce proteins and other substances that form the new bone matrix. Which eventually mineralizes to become new bone tissue. bone-forming cells that secrete the bone matrix. Like their close relatives, the fibroblasts and chondroblasts, they are actively mitotic. The unmineralized bone matrix they secrete includes collagen (90% of bone protein) and calcium-binding proteins that make up the initial unmineralized bone, or osteoid. As described later, osteoblasts also play a role in matrix calcification.When actively depositing matrix, osteoblasts are cube shaped. When inactive, they resemble the flattened osteoprogenitor cells or may differentiate into bone lining cells. When the osteoblasts become completely surrounded by the matrix being secreted, they become osteocytes.
osteocytes:mature bone cells that occupy spaces (lacunae) that conform to their shape.
Osteocytes monitor and maintain the bone matrix.
They also act as stress or strain “sensors” and respond to mechanical stimuli (bone loading, bone deformation, weightlessness).
Osteocytes communicate this information to the cells responsible for bone remodeling (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) so that bone matrix can be made or degraded as mechanical stresses dictate. Osteocytes can also trigger bone remodeling to maintain calcium homeostasis as we will see shortly.
Bone remodeling process
1.Osteoblasts and osteoclasts work together in a bone remodeling cone.
2.Breaks down bone in front (osteoclasts)
Osteoclasts release calcium phosphate in bloodstream, break down collagen into Amino acids. Called the cutting core
- Osteoprogenitor cells: in middle or reversal zone
- In reversal zone, you have reversal cells. In transition zone between osteoclasts and osteoblasts
- In back, the cone is using osteoblasts to lay down collagen and calcium phosphate. Angiogenesis also occurs which is the creation of new arteries and veins. In compact bone, central canal is also being created. Creating new nerves and new lymphatic vessels
- Describe how an action potential is initiated in a neuron. How does it propagate down the axon? What processes are involved with the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic knobs. Discuss the key role of IPSPs and EPSPs in the propagation (or lack thereof) of an action potential.
Excitatory post synaptic potentials must build at axon hillock and surpass threshold value. -55 mv
-depolarization & repolarization
-depolarization happens after -55mv threshold value is reached. voltage gated sodium ion channels open and Na goes into the cell raising the voltage. gets more positive until +30 mV
-repolarization starts to occur once +30 mv is reached. Na channels close and K channels open. charge becomes lowe because positively charged K is leaving the axon. Trying to lower charge to get closer to resting potential . goes past -70 resting value and results in hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization occurs because channels are slow to close
- hyperpolarization is fixed by NaK pump. pumps 3 Na out and two K into resitablish the concentration gradient
- Absolute refractory period: axon cannot be stimulated to send a message. Occurs when cell is being depolarized up until the cell approached its resting membrane potential during repolarization. Cnat pass any more signals
-relative refractory period: Takes a stronger stimulus to send impulse. Occurs from hyperpolarization to where its reaching resting membrane potential
-at the end of the axon terminals in the synaptic knob. Voltage gated Ca2+ ion channels are activated. influx of Ca2+ causes vesicles with Neurotransmitters like ACh to travel accross the synaptic cleft and bind to ligandgated Na channels in neighboring neuron, passing signal along. The way you stop ACh transmission is with the help of acetycholineesterase. Enzyme that breaks down Ach
What role do osteoclasts play in bone remodeling?
- resorb old bone or damaged bone by releasing enzymes that help dissolve the mineralized matrix of bone
