A Flashcards
Physis
Growth plate
Bone with spicules ‘trabeculae’
Trabecular/ cancellous/ spongy
Cartilage
Mucopolysaccharide gel
Type 2 collagen fibres
Connective tissue around cartilage
Periochondrium
Articular cartilage
Complex- partly fibrous, partly hyaline- joints
Matrix of bone
Osteoid
Composition of bone
Type 1 collagen,
Hydroxyapatite w adsorbed calcium carbonate
Endochondral formation
Forms long bones
Membrane bone formation
Forms skull/ flat bones- between two layers of cartilage
Bird bones
Pneumatised- contain triangular spicules
Bone lining
Periosteum
Osteon
Functional unit of bone, concentric rings of matrix, interspersed with lacunae
Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint disease- due to instability, trauma, disease, incurable but manageable
Osteochondrosis (OCD)
Fast growing dogs, horses
Disordered ossification of endplate, articular cartilage thickens and detaches- can fall off
Synastosis
Bone- mature skull and pelvis -
Synarthroses
Immobile joints
Synchondrosis
Cartilage- growth plates
Symphysis
Fibrocartilage
Syndesmosis
Fibrous- distal tibio-fibular
Gomphosis
Fibrous- tooth socket
Diarthrosis (synovial joints)
Mobile joints with fluid and cartilage
Synovial membrane cells
Synoviocytes type a (phagocytic)
B (secretory)
GAGs
Glycosaminoglycans
Negative charge
Attracts water
Contains hyaluronate polysaccharide mask
Why should enoflaxin not be used in young animals
Antibiotic- causes abnormal development of articular cartilage
Labrum
Fibrocartilaginous ext to joint surface
Fat pads
Lie between synovial membrane and capsule
