Q

What is osteogenesis? When does it begin?

A

Osteo: bone

Genesis: begin

Begins inside the womb

27
Q

What occurs during ossification?

A

Bone matrix thickens + mineral deposits harden

28
Q

Differentiate the 2 processes under ossification

A

Endochondral: hyaline cartilage is replaced by bone

Intramembranous: bone forms inside a membrane (skull)

29
Q

Bone maintenance requires a balance between ___ and ___

A

Bone maintenance requires a balance between bone resorption (osteoclastic) and bone formation (osteoblastic)

30
Q

Describe the 6 regulating factors of bone maintenance (SDPCBH)

A

Stress – inc movement = inc calcium to bones = stronger

Vit D – promotes calcium absorption

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) – promotes bone resorption = calcium goes out to fix hypocalcemia (<8mg/dL)

Calcitonin – inhibits bone resorption = calcium goes inside = stronger

Blood supply – affects osteogenesis

Hormones – inc corticosteroid = brittle bones + menopause/andropause = more osteoclastic activity

31
Q

(T/F) Men lose more Ca than women

A

FALSE, women lose more

32
Q

What time is it advisable to expose the skin to the sun for vitamin d?

A

before 9/10 am or after 4/5 pm

33
Q

Where is PTH and Calcitonin produced?

A

PTH: parathyroid gland

Calcitonin: thyroid gland (T3/T4)

34
Q

What drug is used to elevate Calcitonin level? (MCC)

A

Miacalcin (Calcitonin) Nasal Spray – one spray per nares, for elders

Calcitonin-Salmon – refrigerated

Calcijex – activated vitamin D

35
Q

Crepitus is?

A

cracking sound

36
Q

Describe the 3 stages of bone healing (RRR)

A

Reactive – starts bleeding and inflammation immediately = angiogenesis and tissue granulation

Reparative/ossification – granulation tissue is replaced by procallus (thickened cartilage) and lamellar bone

Remodeling – mold new bone into former structure

37
Q

What is angiogenesis

A

Create new small vessels

38
Q

How long does it take for

Procallus to replace granulation tissue

Remodeling of new bone into former structure

A

Procallus to replace granulation tissue – 3-4 weeks post injury

Lamellar bone to form – months

Remodeling of new bone into former structure – months-years

39
Q

What are the 6 skeletal changes related to

aging (DPK CRA)

A

Decreased density – more bone resorption

Inc bony prominence – decreased skin thickness

Kyphotic – dec density = struggle to support weight = 1-2 dec in height

Cartilage degeneration – causes crepitus

Decreased ROM – slower

Muscle atrophy – dec bone density = dec muscle attached to bone

Hand grip should be ___

A

symmetrical

54
Q

Neurovascular assessment is done Q_? Why?

A

Q1 not greater than 4 hrs
