Exercise 1 - Question 1
Briefly describe the pathophysiology of OA. ( Hint: See Chapter 18 in
your textbook.)
Your Answer:
The pathophysiology of Osteoarthritis involves a degradation of
cartilage and remodeling of bone due to an active response of
chondrocytes in the articular cartilage and the inflammatory cells in the
surrounding tissues
OA is characterized by progressive deterioration and loss of
cartilage in one or more joints (articular cartilage). The normal
bluish-white, translucent cartilage becomes opaque and
yellowbrown in color. As cartilage and the bone beneath the
cartilage begin to erode, the joint space narrows and
osteophytes (bone spurs) form. Fissures, calcifications, and
ulcerations develop and the cartilage thins. Inflammatory
cytokines enhance tissue deterioration. Weight-bearing joints
(hips and knees), the vertebral column, and the hands are
primarily affected because they are used most often or bear
the mechanical stress of body weight.
