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
|
