(224 cards)
What is the meaning of osteoporosis
Porous, or thinned out bone
What is the meaning of osteomalacia
Weakened, soft bone
What is the meaning of Osteopetrosis
Peter=rock, stone bone
What is the meaning of osteogenesis imperfecta
Imperfect origin of bone
Osteitis deformans
Deforming bone-itis
What is the meaning of osteodystrophy
Difficult/bad growing bone
The hardness of the bone is made up of which material
Hydroxyapatite
What is contained in bone hydroxyapatite
99% of body calcium
85% if phosphorous
What is the source and function of osteopontin
Osteoblasts and functions in calcium homeostasis
What are the characteristics of woven bone and which individuals are commonly seen to have it
- Produced rapidly during fetal development, abnormal in adults
- Seen in fracture repair
- Arrangement of collagen, with less structural integrity
What is the structure of woven versus lamellar bone
Woven bone has more collagen and disorganized
Lamellar bone: parallel collagen and stronger
Which cells in the bone regulate the calcium and phosphate levels
Osteocytes
What is the method of bone development in long bones
Endochondral ossification
*New bone at the bottom of the growth plate giving longitudinal growth
What is the method of bone growth in flat bones
Intramembranous ossification
*new bone placed on preexisting surface, aka appositional growth
When is peak bone mass achieved
Early adulthood after cessation of skeletal growth
Rank and RANKL result in which process with regards to bone
Breakdown
OPG results in which process with regards to bone
Buildup
What is is the pathway/receptor activation involved with RANK
NF kappaB
What is the mechanism that OPG works
Binds to the RANKL and prevents it from binding to the RANK
What is the process and result of WNT proteins with regards to bones
WNT proteins bind to LRP5/6 on osteoblasts and activate Betacatenin and production of OPG
*Results in bone building
What is the process and result of the activation of sclerostin
Inhibits the WNT/Beta catenin pathway, Inhibition in the production of OPG
*Results in bone breakdown
What are the compounds that commonly cause the building of bone
Testosterone
Estrogen
Vitamin D
What are the common compounds that cause bone breakdown
PTH
IL-1
Glucocorticoids
What is the role of M-CSF
On osteoclasts and stimulate tyrosine kinase cascade that causes the generation of osteoclasts
