Muscoskeletal Pathology Flashcards
Osteoblasts
Produce osteoid
Osteocytes
Osteoblasts within bone in a lacuna
Osteoclast
Multinucleated Resorts bone Reside in Howsips lacunae
Explain signaling for bone resorption
RANKL and Macrophage stimulating factor expressed by osteoblasts bind with macrophages to convert them into osteoclasts Osteoprotegrin can block RANKL and prevent osteoclast formation and bone resorption

Miscellaneous
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
What causes it
2 examples
- Mutations of collagen type 1 (alpha 1 and alpha 2)
- Autosomal Dominant
- Multiple fractures
- Blue Sclera
- Hearing loss
- Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
Achondroplasia
- FGFR3 Mutation
- Chondrocyte proliferation inhibition
- Growth of normal epiphyseal plates is repressed
- Autosomal dominant
- Avg life span
- Affects all bone that develop via endochondral ossification
Osteopetrosis
- Reduced osteoclast-mediated bone resorption
- defective bone remodeling
- abnormally dense but brittle
- both autosomal recessive and dominant
- can cause many issues in infants
Fibrous Dysplasia
- Replacement of bone with connective tissue
- None malignant
- 3 types
- Monostotic
- Polyostotic
- McCune Albright Syndrome
Osteoporosis
- Reduced bone mass
- Existing bone has normal mineral content
- 5 main factors contributing
- Menopause
- Aging
- Nutrition
- Decreased physical activity
- Endocrine
Paget Disease
- Random excess bone formation
- Repetitive episodes of frenzied regional osteoclast activity and resorption
- Osteolytic Stage
- Exuberant bone formation
- Mixed osteoclatic-osteoblastic stage
- Exhaustion of cellular activity
- Osteosclerotic stage
Ricketts Osteomalacia
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Inadequate mineralization of bone
- Rickets: kids- epiphyseal plates open
- Osteomalacia:Adults- plates closed
- Weak tooth enamel, increased caries
What does Parathyroid Hormine increase
- Overall it increases plasma calcium concentration
- Causes
- Ca out of kidney tubule
- Inc Ca release from bones into plasma
- Stimulates kidney to activate Vit D
- Lowers plasma phosphate concentration by increasing renal excretion of phosphate- preventing Ca to precipitate back into bone
How is PTH secretion regulated
- Inhibited by calcium concentration
- Inhibited by active vitamin D
Hyperparathyrodism
- Primary
- Excess secretion of PTH
- Secondary
- Increase in PTH from a chronic disease that causes hypocalcemia
- Ex Renal Failure
Scurvy
- Deficiency in Vit C
- Leads to impaired osteoid matrix formation
- Manifestations
- Bleeding gums
- Subperiosteal hemorrhage
- Osteoporosis
