Study Notes

Overview of Bone Structure and Non-Neoplastic Bone Diseases

Bone is composed of an acellular portion (matrix) and a cellular portion (osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts).
Spongy bone consists of trabeculae that form a loose bony framework, and bone marrow is located between the trabeculae.
Compact bone is denser and contains Haversian systems, which transmit blood vessels to spongy bone.
Osteoclasts secrete acidic substances that resorb bone, and their function is regulated by RANK, RANKL, osteoprotegerin, and M-CSF.
Osteoporosis is a decrease in bone mass that can result from genetic factors, physical activity, stresses on bone, and nutritional factors.
Postmenopausal females have reduced levels of estrogen, which results in less inhibition of IL6 and RANKL and makes sex hormones osteoprotective.
Primary osteoporosis is senile, while secondary osteoporosis results from underlying diseases that decrease bone mass.
The entire skeleton is affected by osteoporosis, but weight-bearing areas are prone to fracturing.
Paget's disease of bone is characterized by the production of physiologically unstable bone due to osteogenic-osteolytic imbalance.
Paget's disease usually affects patients over 70 years old and can involve any bone, most commonly the pelvic ileum, lumbosacral spine, femur, tibia, and skull.
Paget's disease has three phases: osteolytic, mixed, and osteosclerotic.
In the mixed and osteosclerotic phases, osteoblasts form unstable bone due to "jigsaw pattern" bone deposition, which is unstable and greatly prone to fracturing.
