60-70% of bone is inorganic, composed of this material
hydroxyapatite
30% of bone is composed of organic material. Of the organic material, 90% is composed of ___________
type I collagen
the so-called "growth plate" includes these two structures
epiphysis, metaphysis
achondroplasia results from a mutation in this gene
FGF3 (AD)
strands of connective tissue that connect periosteum to cortext
Sharpey fibers
Two types of immature bone: osteoid and woven bone.

What is the main difference between them?
Woven - mineralized
Osteoid - unmineralized
Two types of immature bone: osteoid and woven bone.

What is the main similarity between them?
Formed *much* more rapidly than lamellar (mature) bone
Osteoblasts express this protein to activate osteoclasts
RANK-ligand
Osteoclasts are found in resorption pits called ________
Howship's lacunae
By what mechanism does the osteoclast resorb inorganic bone?
H-ATPase pump

-pumps HCl into the resorption pit
-liberates Ca, Mg, PO4
Using what protein does osteoclast degrade organic component of bone?
Cathespin K
Disorder of abnormal matrix in which there is a defect in synthesis of type I collagen
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Why do persons with OI have brittle bones?
Osteoid doesn't form correctly on abnormal cartilage

(Remember: OI = defect in Type I collagen)
A patient with atraumatic fractures is suspicious for having what bone disorder?
osteoporosis (postmenopausal and senile subtypes)
What is the pathogenesis of POSTMENOPAUSAL osteoporosis?
-Estrogen deficiency --> *increased osteoclasts*

-wrist and vertebral fractures
-high turnover osteoporosis
What is the pathogenesis of SENILE osteoporosis?
-*decrease in osteoblast* production and activity

-hip & vertebral fractures
-low turnover form
What are 3 top causes of hyperparathyroidism?
1ry: adenoma, chief cell hyperplasia

2ry: chronic renal failure
Pathologic findig in hyperparathyroidism in which osteoclasts tunnel down the long axis of a bone
Dissecting osteitis
Paget's disease of bone

a. primary cell type
b. associated virus?
a. multinucleated osteoclasts (--> chaotic, shitty bone)

b. Paramyxovirus
Characteristic radiographic finding in Paget's disease?
chalk-stick fracture
characteristic histology of Paget's disease includes this feature
cement lines

= haphazardly arranged mucopolysaccharides
Because the stroma is highly vascularized, the first (osteolytic) phase of Paget's dz of bone can lead to this condition
high output cardiac failure
Disease of too little bone resorption
osteopetrosis
What is the pathogenesis of osteopetrosis?
H+ATPase deficiency --> osteoclast can't acidify resorption pit --> thickened, brittle bone
2x hematologic abnormalities in osteopetrosis?
Crowding out of marrow -->

-anemia
-extramedullary hematopoiesis
Characteristic imaging finding in osteopetrosis?
Erlenmeyer flask deformity
This cell type can't mature without vitamin D, which is the cause of osteoporosis
Chondrocytes
Association:

cartilage cap on bony stalk
osteochondroma
Osteochondroma (3 facts)
-cartilage cap on bony stalk
-most common Benign bone tumor in KIDS
-M for metaphysis origin in long bones of extremity
Association:

nocturnal pain relieved by aspirin/nsaids
osteoid osteoma

(the one bone tumor with distinctive physical sx)
Tx of osteoid osteoma
remove nidus
Cartilaginous lesion within bone that has arc+ring appearance on X ray
Enchondroma
Multiple enchondromata on one side of the body with no other sx
Ollier's disease
Multiple enchondromata on one side of body + hemangiomas (soft tissue/viscera)
Maffuci's syndrome
Tumor of osteoclasts
Giant cell tumor

-usu solitary lesions
If giant cell tumor is suspected and there are multiple lesions in odd places, consider this diagnostic possibility
hyperparathyroidism
Association:

Multinucleated (>50) osteoclasts
giant cell tumor
Neoplastic condition in which [abnormal maturation of abnormal osteoblasts --> formation of abnormla bone]
fibrous dysplasia
McCune Albright syndrome is associated with this neoplastic condition
Fibrous dysplasia
Name the disease:

polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with cafe au lait spots and endocrinopathy
McCune Albright syndrome
Association:

Effect of pre-operative chemo on this tumor determines prognosis
Osteosarcoma
Two characteristic X ray findings in osteosarcoma
-codman's triangle
-sunburst reaction
Association:

-codman's triangle
-sunburst reaction
Osteosarcoma
Association:

dead bone surrounded by cartilage
chondrosarcoma
Association:

small, round blue cell tumor
Ewing's sarcoma
Ewing's sarcoma translocation?
t (11;22)
Mutation associated with osteosarcoma
Rb
Most common malignant bone tumor of adults and kids
osteosarcoma
