Question 4. Question : Which disorder is characterized by the formation of abnormal new bone
at an accelerated rate beginning with excessive resorption of spongy
bone?
Student
Answer: Osteomalacia
Paget disease
Osteoporosis
Osteosarcoma
Instructor Paget disease (osteitis deformans) is a state of increased metabolic activity in bone

Question 5. Question : What causes the crystallization within the synovial fluid of the joint
affected by gouty arthritis?
Student
Answer: Reduced excretion of purines
Overproduction of uric acid
Increase in the glycosaminoglycan levels
Overproduction of proteoglycans
Instructor When the uric acid reaches a certain concentration in fluids, it crystallizes, forming
Explanation: insoluble precipitates that are deposited in connective tissues throughout the
body. Crystallization in synovial fluid causes acute, painful inflammation of the
joint, which is a condition known as gouty arthritis.
