Q

What does the mechanical function of the bone consist of?

A

The bones serve as levers for skeletal muscle movement. Our tendons attach muscle to the the bones to move our extremities

Q

What does the protective function of the bone consist of?

A

The bones provide a rigid framework for structure. This protects vulnerable organs from injury.

Q

What dies the metabolic function of the bone concist of?

A

The bone contains hematopoietic tissue in its marrow which serves as reservoir for minerals like calcium and phosphate

Q

What is the role of osteoclasts?

A

They resorb old bone by digesting organic matrix, releasing minerals into the blood.

Q

What is the role of osteoblasts?

A

They form new bone by synthesizing the organic matrix, especialky type I collagen, depositing minerals to solidify new matrix

Loss of teeth
Compression fractures in vertebrae

24
Q

What are the two suntypes of osteomalacia?

A

Ricket’s

Renal osteodystrophy

25
This is an adukt disorder of mineralization during bone formation caused by inadequate calcification of matrux resukting in bone softening
Osteomalacia
26
There is an increase of what substance in osteomalacia?
Increased unmineralized osteoid (collagen)
27
Increased osteoblast activity in osteommalacia results in increase of what enzyme iptrying to compensate?
ALP
28
What are the causes of osteomalacia?
Vitamin D deficiency Hypophosphatemia Kidney disease/failure
29
What us the most commone cause of osteomalacia worldwide?
Vitamin D deficiency
30
What are the symptoms of osteomalacia in adults?
Severe bone pain Skeletal fractions Soft bone due to lack of mineralization
31
What is ricket’s?
Child disorder of mineralization defect
32
What causes Ricket’s?
Lack of active vitamin D or vitamin D resitance | Calcium or phosphate deficiency
33
A 1 month okd babt who is still breastfed and does not receive adequate sunkights is at hugh risk of what disease?
Risket’s
34
What enzyme deficiency in the kidneys leads to no active vitamine D production?
1-a-hydroxylase
35
Although vitamin D levels are normal in some patients with osteomalacia, what vitamin D associated condition may cause the disease?
Vitamin D resistance due to defect in receptor
36
What is renal osteodystrophy?
This is a chronic renal failure associated wuth complex bone abnormalities and mineral issues
37
In ROm decreased active vitamin D from kidmey failure causes
Hypocalcemia which induces PTH release.
38
What condition is an effect from overeactive PTH from lack of vitamin D?
Osteomalacia
39
What is scurvy?
Inadequate collagen synthesis due to lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
40
What vitamin is needed for the sysnthesjs of collagen?
Vitamin C
41
What are the symptoms of scurvy?
Fractures Bleeding gums and vessels Loss of teeth
42
What us a ither name for Paget’s disease?
Osteitis deformans
43
Whats us the one idopathic bine disease?
Paget’s
44
What is paget’s disease?
Thus is bone resorption followed by chaotic replacement of bone architecture
45
Paget’s disease usually sees hugh levels of what enzyme?
ALP
46
List the symptoms of PD
``` Arthritis Bone pain Nerve compression in vertebral column Closure of ear canal in inner ear Deafness ```
47
What are analyzed first in the lab to determine bine disease?
Minerals. If abnormal, hormones are analyzed
48
What is the use of biochemical marlers of bone formation of resorption?
``` Monitoring therapy Selection of patients appropriate for therapy Prediction of bone loss Prediction of bone fracture risk Monitoring bone cancer ```
49
What are the markers of bone formation?
PINP/PICP ALP Osteocalcin
50
What is the most sensitive marker of bone formation?
PINP
51
What are the markers of bone resorption?
NTx CTx DPD/PYD TRAP/TRACP
52
What market is hughly specific for bone resorption?
NTx
53
Why should Creatine and BUn be measured with bone urinary markers?
Because urine markers can show fakse resukrs if kidney issues are present
54
These proteins serve to stabilize collagen diring its synthesis?
DPDPYD
55
This marker reflects osteoclasts number and activity
TRAP
