Cards

Term
Osteopetrosis
Definition
defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, unable to acidify howships; chalk like bones
Term
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Definition
genetic disorders caused by type 1 collagen defect, very fragile bones
-blue sclera, hearing loss, small teeth
Term
Achondroplasia
Definition
defect in normal cartilage development
causes plates to seal early, most common cause of dwarfism
Term
Paget's Disease
Definition
focal derangements of bone resorption and deposition
-pain, bony deformity, warmth, hearding, heart failure
Term
Osteoporosis
Definition
gradual and progressive loss of bone mass, bone fractures and pain
Term
Osteolytic stage 1(Paget)
Definition
bone resorption dominates
Term
Mixed stage 2 (Paget)
Definition
bone deposition approximates resorption rates, new bone is abnormal
Term
Osteosclerotic stage 3 (paget)
Definition
resorption declines harder and more dense bone tissue is formed
Term
Primary osteoporosis
Definition
idiopathis
Term
type 1 osteoporosis
Definition
younger age, osteoclasts regenerate too much, mostly in spongy bone
Term
type 2 osteoporosis
Definition
age related bone loss, after age 70, reduced degree of bone deposition during remodeling w/ osteoblasts
Term
Secondary osteoporosis
Definition
bone loss due to identifiable
physical inactivity, caffeine ingestion
calcium, vitamin D, hormones, biphosponates
Term
Rickets and Osteomalacia
Definition
impairment of mineralization in an essentially normal organic matrix (softened bone)
Term
Rickets
Definition
children interferes with growth plates before they are closed; vit D deficiency
-bowed legs, +fractures, pigeon breast
Term
Osteomalacia
Definition
adult counterpart, growth plates closed
caused by: GI malabsorption, renal defect, faulty activation in liver, limited sunlight
Term
Osteomyelitis
Definition
bone inflammation in response to infection by pyogenic bacteria
Staphylococcus, E-Coli, Salmonella
chronic recurrence
Term
Carcinoma
Definition
primary tumor arising from prostate, breast, thyroid, lung, kidney
Term
Osteolysis
Definition
bone breakdown, weakening w/ fractures
Term
Osteochondroma
Definition
grows away from the bone, benign
Term
Osteosarcoma
Definition
most common malignant, metastasizes to lung, long bones
Term
Chondrosarcoma
Definition
15% arise from previous encounters, pelvis, ribs, femur, humerus
Term
Ewing's Tumor
Definition
rare, manifests as a mass in diaphysis of long bones 10-15 yr males
Term
Osteoarthritis
Definition
most common joint disease in America, degeneration of articular cartilage
-age, gender, race, obesity
Term
Bone eburnation
Definition
degeneration of bone into hard, ivory like surface
Term
joint mice
Definition
small fractures dislodge pieces into joint of bone
Term
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Definition
autoimmune affects many tissues, but mainly joints, idiopathic
rheumatoid factor: Igm against IgG
Term
Gout
Definition
crystals in joint caused by uric acid
Term
Pseudogout
Definition
crystals of calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate into articular cartilage leading to inflammation
-knee most common
Term
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Definition
axial skeleton, stiffening of the spine
-men, HLA-B27
Bamboo spine: ligaments attach to bone
Term
Duchenne Muscular dystrophy
Definition
x linked recessive-- males, mutation of dystrophin gene
