week 7 for pathology 2 Flashcards
(42 cards)
diseases of the bones and joints categories (4)
- inflammatory and degenerative
- genetic and developmental
- hyperplastic and neoplastic (cells)
- postmortem conditions
inflammatory and degenerative of bones and joints (7)
- osteoporosis
- osteomyelitis
- osteomalacia
- rickets
- arthritis
- bursitis
- fractures
loss of bone mass in the skeleton resulting in predisposition to fractures.
-most often due to depletion of estrogen
osteoporosis
inflammatory bone disorder resulting from pyogenic (small red bumps on skin) bacterial infection.
-bacteria was introduced usually due to trauma or surgery
osteomyelitis
a piece of dead bone tissue occurring within a diseased or injured bone
sequestrum
softening of the bones due to faulty calcification
-usually found in adults
osteomalacia
defective bone growth caused by vitamin D deficiency
-usually found in children
rickets
inflammation of the joints
- (3 sub categories)
arthritis
- osteoarthritis
- rheumatoid arthritis
- psoriatic arthritis
inflammation of joint cartilage
osteoarthritis
inflammation of lining of the joints (autoimmune)
rheumatoid arthritis
associated with psoriasis (autoimmune)
psoriatic arthritis
inflammation off the bursae (fluid filled sacs) that provide cushioning for joints
bursitis
break in a bone and damage to surrounding tissues
bone fractures
types of bone fractures (7)
- traverse
- linear
- oblique non displaced
- oblique displaced
- spiral
- greenstick
- comminuted
genetic and developmental of bones and joints (4)
- scoliosis
- kyphosis
- lordosis
- achondroplasia
lateral curvature of the spinal column
scoliosis
outward curvature of the spinal column (hunchback)
kyphosis
inward curvature of the spinal column (swayback)
lordosis
genetic bone growth disorder resulting in dwarfism
achondroplasia
hyperplastic and/or neoplastic (cells) of bone and growth (2)
- pages disease
2. osteosarcoma
hyperplasia (excessive growth) of the bones causing inflammation, thickening/softening of bones
pages disease
cancer that causes immature bone formation
osteosarcoma
malformation/ distortion of bones and joints (4)
- joints affected by arthritis can be swollen and misshapen
- vertebral disorders can cause circulatory and positioning issues
- broken bones can cause viewing and positioning issues
- misshapen bones cannot be easily excised like muscle, glands, or fat can
bone procurement of bones and joints (1)
- anatomical procurement of long bones can complicate standard embalming procedure
