What is seen in muscles without T-tubules?
uncoordinated contraction of myofibrils
What is seen with myasthenia gravis?
Poor force generation with repeated stimulation
What is seen with myotonic dystrophy?
Impaired relaxation after single contraction. Autosomal dominant. Due to myotonin protein kinase defect.

Urethritis, conjunctivitis, arthritis following infection from chlamydia, salmonella, shigella, campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia.
What does Colchicine do? Side effects?
Disrupts microtubule formation. For ACUTE gout. Can cause diarrhea and nausea vomiting.
How are osteocytes connected?
gap junctions
Process for collagen formation?
Start with alpha chains in cytoplasm. Move to RER. Then hydroxylate lysine and prolines. Then glycosylation of selected lysine residues. Assembly into triple helix. After, goes to golgi. Extruded into ECM. Then N and C terminal propeptide cleavage by propeptidase (procollagen --> collagen). Collagen fibrils.

Then covalent cross links formed by lysyl oxidase.

Treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Early and rapid = steroids
Immunomodulators for early seronegative = sulfasalazine, hydrocychloroquine, minocycline
D-Mard - Methotrexate
What are the gout treatments?
Early - NSAIDs and Colchicine
Late - Allopurinol

Uricosurics if ok kidneys - Probenecid or sulfinpyrazone
What is characteristic of Paget's disease of bone?
Older, bone pain, and elevated alkaline phosphatase
What is pathogenesis of Paget's disease of bone?
Mosaic bone pattern from increase osteoclastic activity leading to osteoblast activity. Increased blood flow from increased AV shunts leading to heart failure.
What is alkaptonuria?
Defective homogentistic acid oxidase. Leads to pigment deposits in sclera, ears, arthritis. Urine turns black left standing in open.

Part of degradation of tyrosine pathway. Takes homogentisate to Maleylacetoacetate.
What artery serves epiphyseal plate for femur?
obturator
What artery provides the majority of the blood supply to the femoral head and neck?
Medial femoral circumflex
Two signals for osteoclast differentiation?
RANK-L and M-CSF
Signs for Paget's disease of bone?
systemic bone resorption, increased nuclei of osteoclasts
Most common cause of hair loss in men and women?
