Which disease would be caused by increased and uncontrolled bone turnover?
A. Osteogenesis imperfecta - lack of type I collagen. PTH inhibits osteoblast activity in
bones
B. Rheumatoid arthritis - autoimmune condition of chronic systemic inflammation
C. Osteomalacia - nutritional deficiency, usually vitamin D (rickets)
D. Paget’s disease - excessive osteoclast activity leads to subsequent increased
osteoblast activity, results in thickened, sclerotic bones
E. Perthes disease - blood supply in a child’s hip is temporarily disrupted causing
avascular necrosis (bone infarction); the hip begins to weaken and eventually
collapses14

A. 12.5 mL
B. 800 mL
C. 80 L
D. 12.5 L

8 ug/mL, what is the volume of distribution?
A. 12.5 mL
B. 800 mL
C. 80 L
D. 12.5 L
E. 125 L
Volume of distribution (L) = amount of drug (mg) / plasma concentration(mg/L).
Note:
• 1μg=0.001mg
• 1mL=0.001L
• So 8 ug/mL = 8mg/L17

Name the cells responsible for pain sensation
A. Proprioceptors
B. Thermoreceptors
C. Dorsal horn neurons
D. Baroreceptors
E. Nociceptors 19
Name the cells responsible for pain sensation
A. Proprioceptors
B. Thermoreceptors
C. Dorsal horn neurons
D. Baroreceptors
E. Nociceptors
1. Pain sensation by nociceptors which are stimulated by mediators
such as histamine, bradykinin ATP, and protons
2. Afferent neurons carry signal from peripheral tissues to the dorsal
horn of the spinal column (this is part of the peripheral nervous
system)
3. In the dorsal horn, neurons synapse with second order neurones
which cross to the contralateral side of the spinal cord and
ascends in the spinothalamic tract. Synapse with third order
neurones in the thalamus.
4. Third order neurones run from the thalamus to the somatosensory
cortex where pain is perceived. Signals also run from the
thalamus to the prefrontal cortex (for motor response) and limbic
system (for emotional experience).Clinical Anatomy 20
