metabolic disorders Flashcards
metabolic disorders occur from ____________ of the endocrine and nervous system
abnormal physiological process
the _________ is a metabolically active organ what undergoes continuous remodeling
skeleton
bone mass peaks between
25 and 35 years
at this time, the rate of reabsorption begins to exceed the rate of formation
what are primarily characterized by diffuse loss of bone density and bone strength
metabolic bone disorders
softening of bones
osteomalacia
low bone mass
osteopenia
increased bone density
osteopetrosis
systemic disease that decreases bone density
osteoporosis
Primary Osteoporosis
- most common
- aging-related physiologic changes
- prolonged negative Ca+ balance
- decline gonadal and adrenal function
- progressive estrogen deficiency
- sedentary life
secondary osteoporosis
- diseases, meds, and other conditions
risk factors for osteoporosis
- hormonal status
- genetics
- physical inactivity
- tobacco and alcohol
- meds
- depression
- diet and nutrition
what 2 factors are bone strength based on?
- BMD (bone mineral density) increases during growth and development to enhance the bone density
-mechanical stimuli
clinical manifestations of osteoporosis
- loss of height
- postural changes
- Fx
- msk pain
- trigger points (paravertebrals and rhomboids)
- VCF (vertebral compression Fx)
what is a progressive disease in which a lack of mineralization of the bone matrix results in a softening of bone without the loss of the bone matrix
osteomalacia
there is insufficient mineralizaton of the bone matrix (vit D, Ca+, Phosphate)
what is referred to as the adult form of rickets
osteomalacia
