Primary metabolic bone disorder in scurvy is ?
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Decreased osteoid matrixo Collagen is a component of osteoid (protein matrix).o Collagen synthesis is deficient in scurvy; therefore, osteoid formation is defective.o On the other hand, in rickets osteoid formation is normal, but mineralization (Calcification) of osteoid is defective.
Decreased mineralization
Decreased osteoid matrix formation
Increased bone resorption
Decreased bone mass with normal mineralization and osteoid formation
