Study Notes
Bone Structure and Composition
- Type I collagen constitutes two-thirds of the extracellular matrix of bone.
- Osteocytes are located within lacunae, small cavities within the bone.
- Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption.
- Long bones develop through endochondral ossification during embryogenesis.
- Trabecular bone, or spongy bone, is characterized by rapid formation, higher cell density, and random orientation.
- Compact (cortical) bone is organized into Haversian systems (osteons) consisting of concentric lamellae surrounding a central Haversian canal.
Bone Functions and Cellular Activity
- The Haversian canal provides a pathway for blood vessels and nerves, facilitating communication within the bone.
- Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation and mineralization.
- Osteocytes communicate with the Haversian canal through dendritic processes.
Extracellular Matrix and Bone Disorders
- The organic component of the extracellular matrix is primarily type I collagen.
- Osteogenesis imperfecta is associated with impaired maturation of type I collagen leading to fragile bones.
- Osteopetrosis is characterized by defects in osteoclast activity, resulting in abnormally dense but brittle bones.
- Achondroplasia stems from mutations in the FGFR3 gene and results in short stature and disproportionate limb growth.
Conditions and Syndromes
- Osteogenesis imperfecta and achondroplasia are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
- Osteoporosis is the most common condition resulting in reduced bone density and strength.
- Osteomalacia is characterized by insufficient mineralization of bone due to vitamin D deficiency.
- Paget's disease involves bone remodeling leading to disordered bone formation and sometimes increased mass.
Radiological and Histological Findings
- Osteopenia in hyperparathyroidism is caused by increased bone resorption.
- Osteomyelitis, the infection of bone, is most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus in adults.
- The histological finding of acute osteomyelitis includes neutrophilic infiltration.
- Paget's disease exhibits thickened bone with abnormal histological patterns such as mosaic bone.
Joint Disorders
- Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by symmetrical joint involvement, synovial hyperplasia, and destruction of cartilage.
- Osteoarthritis results from degenerative changes in weight-bearing joints, leading to pain and impaired function.
- Gout is marked by attacks of acute arthritis due to uric acid crystal deposition, specifically monosodium urate (MSU).
- Pseudogout involves calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition, differing from gout in both presentation and underlying causes.
Treatment and Management
- The main treatment for osteoporosis involves bisphosphonates to reduce bone resorption.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for managing pain in osteoarthritis.
- Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are crucial in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Special Notes on Cartilage and Joints
- Synovial joints possess a synovial membrane with synoviocytes, lacking a true basement membrane.
- Hyaline cartilage serves as a cushion and lacks blood vessels, facilitating smooth movement at joints.
- Conditions like synovial herniation and joint deformities often arise from underlying inflammatory processes.
