Zona occludens (tight junction) compsed of...
claudins and occludins
Zona adherens (intermediate junction) composed of...
actin and cadherins
Macula adherens (desmosomes) composed of...
intermediate filaments and cadherins
Lumbar puncture at the level of...
iliac crest
What accounts for the difference in skin color between races
melanosome size and melanin production, NOT # of melanosomes
What nerve is damaged when you have anterior dislocation of the shoulder?
axillary nerve
Damage to lunate bone can damage what nerve?
median nerve
Inability to pronate arm due to lesion of what nerve?
median nerve
What nerve innervates the adductor policis
deep ulnar nerve
Inability to supinate arm due to lesion of what nerve?
radial nerve
What nerve innervates the lumbricals?
Median (2nd and 3rd digits), Ulnar (4th and 5th digits)
Erb-duchenne (waiter's tip) palsy etiology and signs
Due to damage to upper trunk from blow to shoulder or birth
Sx: arm at side (paralysis of axillary), medially rotated (paralysis of lateral rotators), forearm is pronated (loss of biceps)
Thoracic outlet syndrome
when cervical rib compresses subclavian artery and the inferior trunk of the brachial plexus
atrophy of the thenar/hypothenar eminences, atrophy of interossei, sensory deficits on medial forearm and hand, disappearance of the radial pulse when moving head to contralateral side
Damage to inferior trunk etiology
childbirth, reaching out and holding onto something, cervical limb compression
Total claw hand
due to damage to inferior trunk, which leads to a dysfunctional medial and ulnar nerve, which means that all of the lumbricals are dysfunctional, which leads to a complete claw hand
Muscles innervated by radial nerve
Brachioradialis, extensor, supinator, triceps
Damage to femoral nerve
Motor: thigh flexion and leg extension
Sensory: anterior thigh and medial leg
Common peroneal nerve
Motor: foot eversion, dorsiflexion, and toe extension
Sensory: anterolateral leg and dorsal aspect of foot
Tibial nerve is damaged from...
knee trauma
TIbial nerve
Motor: plantar flexion of foot, inversion of foot, flexion of toes
Sensory: sole of foot
H-zone
includes M-line and myosin and NO actin
I-band
Includes Z-line and actin and NO myosin
A-band
Include all of the myosin, so it doesn't contract when the sarcomere contracts
Type 1 muscle
slow-twitch fibers w/ mitochondria and oxidative phosphorylation
Type 2 muscle
fast-twitch fibers w/o mitochondria and glycolysis only
Mechanism of smooth muscle contraction
Action potential opens voltage gated Ca2+ channels, leading to Ca2+ binding to calmodulin, which activates myosin light-chain kinase
What is the source of osteoblasts?
mesenchymal stem cells in the periosteum
Trabecular (cancellous) bone
Found within bones, usually towards the end of long bones
Cortical bone
Surrounds trabecular bone, harder and more sturdy
Senile (type II) osteoporosis cause and what type of bone does it affect
affects men and women older than 70 and is due to poor calcium absorption
affects cancellous and cortical bone
Osteopetrosis cause and sx
abnormal function of osteoclasts leads to failure of normal bone resorption and spongiosa filling the medullary canal w/ no mature trabeculae
Sx: decreased marrow space leads to anemia, thrombocytopenia, infection, cranial nerve impingement
Osteopetrosis genetic association and labs
Genetics: carbonic anhydrase III
Labs: normal everything
Phenytoin effect on vitamin D
Phenytoin induces P450 and leads to the breakdown of vitamin D, leading to osteomalacia
Labs in osteomalacia
Increased PTH, decreased phosphate, decreased calcium
IL-1
aka osteoclast activating factor. Inhibited by estrogen and testosterone, which prevents osteoporosis
Brown tumors
found in osteitis fibrosa cystica (hyperparathyroidism) where there are cystic spaces lined w/ osteoclasts, and filled with fibrous stroma and blood
Labs of osteitis fibrosa cystica
high calcium, low phosphate, high PTH, high ALP
Paget's disease etiology
paramyxovirus!
Pathological associations of Paget's disease
high-output heart failure and osteogenic sarcoma
McCune-Albright etiology and Sx
activating mutation of GNAS, which leads to constitutive activity of Gs subunit
Sx: precocious puberty, cafe-au-lait, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
Osteomas are associated w/ what syndrome
Gardner's syndrome (FAP)
Structure of osteoid osteoma
interlacing trabeculae of woven bone surrounded by osteoblasts
Osteoblastoma
similar to osteoid osteoma, but larger and in vertebral columns
Giant cell tumor (osteoclastoma)
spindle-shaped cells w/ multinucleated giant cells that shows bubble sign on x-ray
more common in females
Ewing's sarcoma characteristic appearance in bone
Onion-skin
Salt and pepper or popcorn pattern
chondrosarcoma
