Bone Flashcards
What is the inorganic component of bone?
Hydroxyapatite
What is Wolf’s Law?
bone will remodel itself when strain is present or in times of stress
What is the organic portion of bone? What does it contain?
osteoid, contains type 1 collagen
__________ is cancellous or spongy bone
Trabecular bone
What type of bone is seen in fractures?
Wooven, weak bone
Where do fractures usually occur?
Diaphysis or physis due to trauma
Lamellar bone is organized into ________
osteons
What is the result of calcitonin release by the thyroid gland?
- Increased Ca+ deposition in bones (building bone/ putting Ca from blood back into bone)
- Decreased Ca+ uptake in the intestines
- Decreased resorption of Ca+ from urine
What is the result of PTH release from the parathyroid gland?
- Increased Ca+ release from bones (breaking down bone to release Ca into the blood)
- Increased Ca+ uptake from intestines
- Increased resorption of Ca+ from urine
Which hormones stimulate bone resorption?
- PTH
- Vitamin D
Which hormones inhibit bone resorption?
- Calcitonin
- Estrogen
What are the 4 steps of fracture repair?
- Hematoma formation
- Fibrocartilaginous callus formation
- Bony callus formation
- Bone remodeling (replaced by wooven bone and revascularization)
What can affect bone healing?
- Infection
- Necrosis
- Site of fracture
- Excessive movement during recovery
Angular limb deformity is due to ______
physeal damage, asymmetric lesions in the physis
usually 1 limb affected
Angular limb deformity is seen in _______
young animals, esp foals
bc of open physeal growth plate
_________ disease is from avascular necrosis of the femoral head
Legg-perthes disease
Pathogenesis of Legg-perthes disease?
Loss of blood supply to the femoral head leading to ischemic necrosis
Osteochondrosis is from failure of _________
endochondral ossification
Osteochondrosis can predispose and animal to __________
Degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis
Predilection site of osteochondrosis?
Lateral trochlear ridge
_________ is a dense band of vertical trabeculae
Growth arrest line
________ appears as elongated primary spongiosa due to abnormal osteoclastic resorption
Growth retardation lattice
Growth arrest lines can be seen due to:
- Malnutrition
- Lead toxicity
Growth retardation lattice can be seen due to:
- Malnutrition
- Lead toxicity
- BVD/ K9 Distemper
Symmetrical dwarfism may be caused by __________
Pituitary cyst = no growth hormone
animals appear overall smaller
____________ is disproportionate dwarfism from failed endochondral ossification
Chondrodysplasia
