Q

osteoclasts - multinucleated cells - originate from blood monocytes - resorption of bone matrix

black is minearlized bone, blue is unmineralized

osteoblasts are bone forming

interconnections between trabeculae are permanently lost

(this is all referring to osteoporosis by the way)

Q

(Nutritional Hyperparathyroidism)

  1. What is it?
  2. each of these causes what?
  3. disease limited to what animals?

not what?

why?

  1. High plasma phosphate depresses ionized calcium and thereby does what?
A
  1. Deficiencies of dietary calcium and/or vitamin D, and excess dietary phosphorus
  2. hypocalcemia
  3. young, rapidly growing animals

(with exception of horses - can also get when old)

Horses are sensitive to effects of high
phosphorus diets; resistant to diets low in P

  1. stimultaes release of PTH

  3. With deficiency get what?
A
  1. lack of vit C (ascorbic acid)
