MSK Quiz 1 Flashcards
hypocalcemia
decreased serum Ca+ levels leads to decreased activation E of Na+ channels leading to hyperexcited neurons=tetany
hypercalcemia
increased serum calcium nervous system becomes depressed QT interval of heart/ slow reflexes/ lack of appetite and constipation
Parathyroid hormoin
PTH receptors reside on osteoblasts and trigger bone resorption through rank l activating osteoclasts increasing serum Ca/ PTH regulates calcium retention and phosphate excretion in the kidney./increase 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis subsequently leading to an increase in calcium absorption from the GI tract
1,25(OH)2D3 calcitriol (1-25 dihydroxy vitamin D)
necessary for absortion of Ca+ in GI tract/ promotes both calcium and phosphorous retention in kidney/ necessary for mineralization of the bone
calcitonin
released in response to elevated serum Ca+/tumor marker/treatment for bone disorders that involve excessive bone resorption/ inhibits osteoclasts
FGF 23
phosphate regulation at the levels of the kidney/absence of FGF23 results in hyperphosphatemia and hypercalcemia due to increased levels of calcitriol.
osteoblasts
bone forming cells lay down collegen and non collagen prior to bone mineralization/
markers for bone formation
bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin / Procollagen peptides PINP PICP
Osteoclasts
mediate bone resorption through the secretion of proteases and hydrogen ions to lower the pH.
4-hydroxyproline
makes up collagen helix in bone
marker of collagen formation
non helical portions adn the amino PINP and carboxy PICP terminals
what gives collagen its strength
tropocollagen
periosteal apposition
bones grow in width
PTH mechanism on osteoblasts
binds receptor stimulate M-CSF which stimulates the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells to osteoclasts/ secretes RANKL which activates osteoclasts (also done by IL6) osteclasts are inhibited by osteoprotegerin (OPG
Disease states that result in weakened bone.
Disease states that are related to hyperactive and chaotic bone deposition
osteoprotegrin
inhibits osteoclasts and stops bone resorption
Glucocorticoids
suppress bone formation/ suppress intestinal calcium absorption and can induce osteoclastogenesis/ deplete osteoblasts through suppression of differentiation factors and induction of apoptosis
Gonadal hormones
Estrogens are needed for closure of the epiphyseal plates and a lack of estrogen during development results in increased adult height and decreased bone density./Estrogens have been shown to decrease bone resorption
