Q

Endochondral ossification?

A

Chondrocytes make cartilage first (name makes sense). Osteoclasts and blasts then make WOVEN then LAMELLAR bone (after fractures or PAGETs you see woven)

Happens on long bones

Q

What causes achondroplasia? Genetics?

A

FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor receptor) which inhibits chondrocytes (so no endochondrial ossification)

Mutations occur sporadically and associated with advanced paternal age. MUTATIONS then passed on autosomally dominant (makes sense b/c gene shuts down the gene)

Q

What is going on in osteopetrosis? How do you treat it (it makes sense!)?

A

Petrosis like petrified (greek for rock)

Carbonic anhydrase II deficiency (can’t make acid to break down bone) so bone keeps getting bigger.

Invades area for myeloid growth: pancytopenia.

Closes foramen so cranial nerve issues.

Marble bone and thickening. bone is easy to fracture

TX is marrow transplant b/c monocytes is where osteoclasts are from!!!

Q

Labs of Pagets disease? Tx?

A
