Metabolic Bone Disease- Yoho Flashcards
_____ produce osteoid matrix an amorphous ground substance and collagen matrix
osteoblasts
Bone is made of …
ions having crystallized (hydroxyapatite) on the osteoid matrix forming the bone unit
Composition:
Water (8%)
Organic substance (21%)
Inorganic substance (71%)
cortical bone is black in ____ and white in _____
MRI
CT scan
Osteoblasts make osteoid from ______
albumin
process is aided by vitamin A and C, estrogen and growth hormone
osteogenesis is stimulated by … (2)
Stimulated by a low oxygen tension and acidic environmentAided by a local alkaline environmentwhy you measure alkaline phosphatase**
Mineralization or calcification is triggered by
the high affinity of osteoid matrix for hydroxyapatite
dissolution of bone
Osteolysis
Osteoclasts and PTH hormone stimulate an acid phosphatase to proteolytic action on the osteoid crystals
Osteoclasts are stimulated by
Osteoclasts are stimulated by high oxygen tension
Aided by an acidic environment and a decrease in calcium and phosphate ions
a descriptive term for a loss of bone density observed radiographically
Osteopenia
**50% bone loss is clinically significant
30% bone loss is radiographically detectable
quantification of bone loss tools
DEXA or ultrasound as T-scores and Z-scores
T-Score related to young adult
normal— Bone density is within 1 SD (+1 or −1) of the young adult mean.
low bone mass — Bone density is between 1 and 2.5 SD below the young adult mean (−1 to −2.5 SD).
osteoporosis —Bone density is 2.5 SD or more below the young adult mean (−2.5 SD or lower).
severe oseoporosis — Bone density is more than 2.5 SD below the young adult mean, and there have been one or more osteoporotic fractures.
Z- Score
age and gender matched
define generalized osteoporosis
Definition: decrease in bone density (mass per unit volume) of mineralized boneclinical and lab correlation required for classification
radiographic findings for osteoporosis
Diminished bone density
Cortical thinning with endosteal resorption
Preferential resorption of transverse trabeculae
Anterior wedging of the vertebral bodies (dowager’s hump)
how does scurvy cause generalized osteoporosis?
Vitamin C deficiency Osteoblasts fail to produce osteoid Lack of mineralization Alcoholism/starvation Slow wound healing, peau de orange Hemorrhagic cutaneous lesions
