Type I
osteoclasts bind to ther bone surface of cell attachment proteins called:

what makes up the major ORganic component of bone matrix?
intigrins

collagen
fibrils
3 chain collegen- have overlapping patterns, then link togther and form fibers
articular cartiledge has what type of collagen?
type II
what strengthens bone by forming compression resistant complexes between the collogen fibrils?
proteoglycans (hyaline cartildge component) polysacharides and a protein core
what controls collagen interatcions that lead to firbil formmation?
glycoprotiens
a huge outcome of the final step in bone formation: bone mineralization is
formation of HAP
what type of bone makes up 85% of skeleton?
corticol
tha major difference between the two types of bone =
organization of elements.
Compact bone is highly organized- haversain system.
Spongy bone is not complex and has loose trabecula things.
shaft of the bone aka=

neck of bone=

where is the yellow marrow and where is the red marrow?
diaphysis

metaphysis

yellow= diaphysis
red= epiphysis
describe remodeling:
1. activation= hormones activate bone cell precursers

2. resorption= osteoclasts do their thang

3. formation= secondary bone gets layed down, new haversian canals are formed- new lamena are laid down

takes 3-4 months
Bone stages of wound healing:
1. hematome formation
2. procallus formation (produce granulation tissue) cartiledge is formed
3. callus formation (via osteobalsts)
4. Callus Replacement
5. Remodeling- to perfect mechanical properties

This process depends on many things- the first step happens within an hour, the next steps happen over weeks and remodeling can take up to 4 years!
each skeletal muscle in an organ contained in a 3 part connective tissue called
fascia
what part of muscle is in contact with the tendon-

what surrounds the smallest unit of muscle fibers?
epimysium

endomysium
voluntary indicates that the muscle is ...
controlled directly by the CNS
the motor unit is from which horn
anterior horn
what receptor lies parallel to muscle fibers?
Muscle Spindles
white muscle fibers (II) stain_____ while red fibers (I) stain_______
dark

light
the tubules of the sarcoplasmic reticulum are important for...
movement of CA+
Within the sacromere is the giant muscle protein called ____. = molecular spring that determines muscle stiffness and elasticity.
Titin
You can measure muscle mass with-
creatine and creatinin
activation, the first step of muscular contraction begins with...
spread of action potential from the nerve terminal to the nueromuscular junction
activity last longer then ____ expends the available stored atp and phospohocreatine
5 seconds
adding motor unit within the muscle (activating them)_ is called =
repetitive discharge
which muscle can genereate more force, long ones or short ones?
longer ones
arthrography=
injection of dye into the joint
whats a great test for diseased/damaged muscles?
serum CK concentration... and myoglobin in urine
Aging and Bones
1. remodeling takes longer
2. less mineralizzation
3. increased osteoclatic bone resporption
age related loss in skeletal muscle=
sarcopenia
what is the leading cause of death amoung ages 1-44?
Trauma
regeneration of muscle fibers relies on..
- severity
- vascular supply-
- terminal axons for reinnervation
incomplete fractures tend to occur in the more...
flexible growing bones of children
transchondral fractures are most prevelant in ...
adolescents
incomplete fractures tend to occur in the more...
flexible growing bones of children
legg-calve- perthes disease =
type of osteochondrosis (self limited disease of the hip)
- children
- the femoral head dies and a new one is remodoeled.
- might see trendelenburg gait
-
Cerebral Palsy-

treatment:
static disorder of muscle tone and balence caused by ischemia to the brain


spasticity reduction.... botox
MD is an ___linked inherited

early clinical manafestations
X

around age 3 with slow motor development, muscle weakness and wasting..
Muscle weakness always begins in pelvic girdle- waddling gait
complete lack of dystrophin =
fibers are poorely anchored and are teared apart during contraction. free calcium comes in causeing cell death and fiber necrosis
gowers sign
md kids get off the floor by climbing up their legs
what week does the neural tube form?
fourth week of gestation
anencephaly
- soft bony component on skull and part of brain is missing
- froglike appearance
- still born or die right away
encephalocele-
herniation or protursion of brain and meninges through a defect in the skull. Surgery can help

(if ONLY memninges then its called a cranial meningocele
Meningocele=
neural tube fails to close- sac of minenges filled with spinal fluid.
Does NOT involve spinal cord
Myelomeningocele-
spina bifida
- hernial protrusion including the spinal cord
- without surgery the csf fluid will cause more damage
-
Arnold Chiari type II
assocaited with myelomeningocele- downward displacement of posterior brain
- causes cranial nerve palsys
- hydrocephalus
- worsens as child grows and cord is tethered: bladder problems!
portwine variety may be...
a sign of spina bifida occulta
dandy walker deformity=
defect in midline cerebellar, where hydrocephalis is caused by atresia of foramin of magendi.
macewen sign
resonate note when the skul is tapped due to seperation of the sutures
aka cracked pot sign- sunsetting too.
encephalopathies
general diseases involving the brain
major types of cerebral palsy are:
ataxia
dyskinesia
spasticity
spastic cerbral palsy=

Dyskinetic cerebral palsy=
increased muscle tone
prolonged primitive stretches
huge dtrs
clonus
rigidity
contractures


poor fine motor cooridnation
and purposeful movements
- jerky, uncontreolled abrubt movements.
ataxic cerbreal palsy
gait disturbances and instabitlity
HPA
lesser form of PKU
can diet influence epilepsy?
some say a ketogenic diet can reduce seizures. really only works with younger ikids and only works for about 1-2 years.
hallmark of viral meningitis-
mono munclear response in the CSF and presence of normal blood glucose level.
