Physiology Flashcards
Osteo
Bones
Chondro
Cartilage
Phagocytes
Clears debris
Firbroblast and fibrocytes
2 stages of fibre producing cells @ connective tissue
GAG
Gylcosamioglycans
Gylcosamioglycans
Key component of bone matrix and cell surface that modulate bioavailability and activity of osteoclasts and genetic factors.
GAG
Acid molecules
Cyte
Maintain nutrients in the cell
Blast
Young very active
Adult hyper trophy and becomes cytes and maintain it
Osteoblast during fracture repair
Ossify -> becomes osteogenesis
Phase of fracture repair after haematoma phase
Fibrocartilaginous formation
After phase of fibrocartilaginous
Soft callus formed
Menopause - women - osteoarthritis
Low oestrogen levels
Increase - osteoclast than osteoblast
Decrease in osteoblast
This is due to the lack of oestrogen levels
