Chapter 6, Problem 2TYC
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:
The symptoms experienced by a person suffering from degenerative disease that is characterized by wearing of articular cartilages and drying of the fluid between the bones are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Bone is made up of connective tissue mainly collagen. The framework of bone is hardened by calcium, phosphate end and other minerals through a process called mineralization or calcification.
Disease related to bones are:
- Osteoporosis
- Osteomalacia
- Rickets

Students have asked these similar questions
Which is/are NOT a characteristic feature(s) of the cartilage degeneration mechanisms with osteoarthritis?
A. Loss of cartilage compressibility
B. Horizontal cracks parallel to articular surface cause large pieces of cartilage to break off
C. Cartilage wear is abrupt, quickly progressing from normal to completely worn
D.
Cartilage pitting leads to chondrocyte necrosis and autolysis
E.
Deeper chondrocytes proliferate and cluster in large lacunae in response to increasing loads
B and C
F.
G.
H.
C and D
None of the above
Predict what symptoms a person might experience if he or she suffered a degenerative disease in which the articular cartilages were worn away and the fluid between the bones dried up?
Explain why lacunae appear to be larger than the osteocytes that occupy them
