46
Q

what are the three principles found in bones?

A
  • osteoblasts (immature cells which can synthesize osteoid)
  • osteocytes (mature cells which maintain bone structure)
  • osteoclasts (cells which can breakdown and re-model bone
47
Q

what are the two types of bone structure?

A

compact bone and cancellous bone

48
Q

what does bone consist of?

49
Q

A
  • found in the cortex of long bones
  • found in areas prone to stress
  • lamellae are arranged around the haversian canal (contains blood vessels, nerves, and loose connective tissue)
50
Q

what are gaps in lamellae called and what do the gaps contain?

A

lacunae, they contain osteocytes

51
Q

what are concentric circles of matrix in compact bone called?

52
Q

what does the haversian canal contain?

A

blood vessels, nerves, and loose connective tissues

53
Q

what is cancellous bone?

A
  • commonly found in vertebrae, flat bones and at the end of long bones
  • comprises of trabeculae with spaces in between which decreases strength
54
Q

what is trabeculae?

A

interconnected bars of bone

55
Q

what are the 5 types of bones?

A
  • long
  • short
  • flat
  • irregular
  • sesamoid
56
Q

what are some examples of long bones?

A
  • humerus
  • radius
  • fibula
  • femur
  • tibia
57
Q

long bones: what are epiphyses?

A

the two ends of the bone, composed of cancellous, covered with a thin layer of compact

58
Q

long bones: what are diaphysis?

A

shaft of the bone, composed of tough cylinders of compact bone

59
Q

long bones: what are metaphysis?

A

region where the diaphysis meets the epiphysis

60
Q

long bones: what shaft is filled with bone marrow?

A

medullary cavity

61
Q

long bones: what is the articular cartilage?

A

a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering both ends of the epiphyses

62
Q

long bones: what is the periosteum?

A
  • a sheath of tough connective tissue covering the non-articular surface of all bones
  • essential for bone growth, repair and nutrition
  • outer and inner layer
63
Q

long bones: what is the endosteum?

A
  • consisting of a layer of osteoblasts that line the medullary cavity
64
Q

what are short bones?

A
  • consist of a core of cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone
  • no medullary cavity
  • examples - carpal and tarsal
65
Q

what are irregular bones?

A
  • consist of two layers of compact bone surrounding cancellous bone
  • examples - vertebrae, some skull bones
66
Q

what are flat bones?

A
  • have no medullary cavity
  • composed of two layers of hard compact bone covering cancellous bone in the centre
  • examples: skull, scapula, pelvis
67
Q

what are sesamoid bones?

72
Q

what is the recommended range for dietary calcium in large-breed puppies?

73
Q

what ratio should calcium and phosphorus be provided in?

A

1.1:1 - 2:1

74
Q

what is intramembranous ossification?

A
  • where bone is laid down to replace fibrous connective tissue
  • occurs in the development of bones in the skull, maxilla, and mandible
75
Q

what is red bone marrow?

A
  • spongy bone of vertebrae, ribs, short and flat bone
  • production of RBC and some WBC
76
Q

what is yellow bone marrow?

A
  • mainly made up of fat
  • found in long bones
77
Q

what is cartilage?

A
  • mainly made up of collagen produced by chondrocytes
  • similar to bone but without mineralisation so is softer
  • three types of cartilage
    1) hyaline
    2) fibrocartilage
    3) elastic
78
