WEEK 24:

Bone 2:

QuestionAnswer
types of bone development in embryo (2) intramembranous and endochondral - both involve replacing a CT template
intramembranous bone development in embryo sheets of mesenchymal cells, differentiation of osteoblasts in centres of ossification which merge to form trabecular bone (eg skull, maxilla) that is remodelled + remaining mesenchyme makes bone marrow + periosteum
endochondral bone development in embryo cartilage template, with blood supply to shaft of bone causing osteoblast differentiation (primary centre of ossification) and cartilage growth plate remains to allow bone to lengthen eg long bones + base of skull
endochondral bone development at birth at birth blood supply to epiphyses instigate secondary centres of ossification
bone growth in epiphyseal end proliferate
bone growth in diaphyseal end chondrocytes mature + die then are replaced by bone
long bone growth grows in length via epiphyseal growth plate and fuses in adulthood
how do other bones grow by coordinated appositional growth at periosteum and resorption at inner surface
humerus ossification
femur ossification
ossification of carpal bones predictable sequence starting with capsule and ending with pisiform
ossification of carpal bones at birth no calcification although there is a great individual variability
capitate + hamate ossification time 4 months
triquetral ossification time 3 years
lunate ossification time 4 years
scaphoid, trapezium and trapezoid ossification time 6 years
pisiform ossification time 11 years
achondroplasia (impaired bone elongation)- dwarfism congenital bone disease caused by mutation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3: activation. Activation of FGFR3 inhibits chondrocyte proliferation affecting growth plates- disorganised + hypoplastic and long bone growth stunted
signs and symptoms of achondroplasia Lordosis (back), bowed legs and stunted extremities (especially proximal)
bone contributes to calcium homeostasis under influence of (3) PTH (parathyroid hormone), calcitonin , and vitamin D
calcium homeostasis**
calcitonin thyroid C cells - decreases blood calcium
vitamin D metabolism mechanism of action**
bone fracture repair occurs when periosteum is breached, haematoma (injury to blood vessels) or blood clot forms
bone fracture repair involves replacement with affected parts is replaced by vascular collagenous tissue (granulation tissue) which becomes increasingly fibrous (fibrous granulation tissue) or replaced by hyaline cartilage (form flexible provisional callus)
bone fracture repair to fill gap involves osteoprogenitor cells from periosteum and endosteum differentiate into osteoblasts and lay down new woven bone (bony callus) and site completely bridged by bone (bony union)- slowly remodelled to form oriented lamellar bone
metabolic bone disease examples (4) osteoporosis, rickets + osteomalacia, paget's disease, and hyperparathyroidism
osteoporosis increased bone erosion due to imbalance of osteoblasts + osteoclasts causing loss of bone mass leading to thinner trabeculae initially and then thinned cortical bone however bone tissue is normal but fracture risk increased
osteomalacia lack of vitamin D leading to inadequate mineralisation of bone - weak and soft - where osteoid is normal and bowing of bones and bone pain occurs
pagets disease Overactive osteoclasts. These destroy bone and result in osteoblasts responding by laying down bone rapidly-immature woven bone. Therefore bone mass is increased but it is weak. Metabolic consequences due to energy demands of the disease.
hyperparathyroidism Increased osteoclast activity as a result of increased levels of PTH due to renal disease or tumour. Destruction of cortical and trabecular bone. Inadequate compensation by osteoblasts leads to loss of bone mass. Fracture risk.
osteoporosis pt2 - s21 + s22
osteoporosis diagnosis Asymptomatic pre fracture, Serum ALP, Ca and Pi levels are unreliable, 30-40% reduction in bone mass needed to be seen radiologically. No marked numbers of osteoclasts on histology: Need sensitive DEXA
osteoporosis clinical outcomes (3) Pathological fractures due to falls in the elderly Back pain and kyphosis due to compression fractures Hip replacements-fractured neck of femur
osteoporosis treatment prevention (diet and exercise), Bisphosphonates, oestrogen receptor agonists, PTH
osteomalacia + rickets s23 treatment diagnosis etc**
hyperparathyroidism types Primary: Tumour. Elevated serum calcium Secondary: low serum calcium caused by renal disease (excessive loss via abnormal kidneys) causes hyperplasia of parathyroid glands.
pagets disease ** s25
