What do hepatocytes do?
Metabolize nutrients, detoxify chemicals, secrete bile, synthesize albumin and clotting factors

Resorb bone
what does chondrocytes do?
Secrete collagen and other components of cartilage
What do osteoblasts do?
Lay down new bone
What do mesenchymal stem cells do?
Can differentiate into multiple cell types, including chondrocytes and osteoblasts.
What are Type B synovial cells do?
Secrete hyaluronTe into joint fluid
What do osteocytes do?
Help maintain bone by signaling osteoblasts and osteoclasts
What do satellite cells do?
Repair or regenerate skeletal muscle
What is osteomalacia?
Metabolic disease of adults characteristic by inadequate and delayed mineralization of osteoid in mature bone.
What is ankylosing spondylitis?
Chronic inflammation joint disease characterized by stiffening and fusion of the spine and SI joints
What is FM?
Chronic MS syndrome characteristic by widespread joint and muscle pain, fatigue and increases sensitivity to touch at tender points

What is polymyositis?

What is gout?
Syndrome involving high levels of Uric acid in body fluids, precipitation of irate crystals and recurrent monoarticular arthritis
What is the difference between alcoholic hepatitis ans alcoholic cirrhosis?
