Bone And Muscle Flashcards
What are the two different types of bone formation?
Endochondral (long bones, require growth plates)
Intramembranous (flat bones, no growth plate)
What are the steps of intramembranous ossification?
- Ossification center begins in fibrous connective tissue membrane
- Osteoid is secreted into fibrous membrane- entrapped osteoblasts become osteocytes
- Formation of woven bone and periosteum
- Formation of final layer of compact bone
What does growth plate function require?
Amgiogenesis
How do you classify a fracture?
“OLD ACID”
Open vs closed
Location
Degree (complete vs incomplete)
Articular extension
Comminution/pattern
Intrinsic bone quality
Displacement, angulation, rotation
What are the steps of fracture healing?
- Hematoma
- Fibrocartilagenous callus
- Bony callus
- Remodeling
What are salter fractures?
Fractures through a growth plate
Can induce growth deformities
Classified by the fracture location
What are the different types of salter fractures?
1- fracture straight through growth plate
2- fracture through and above growth plate
3- fracture through and below growth plate
4- fracture above and below growth plate
5- growth plate crushed
What are the different types of bone dysphasia?
Craniomandibular osteopathy Osteogenesis imperfecta Osteopetrosis Chondrodysplasia Osteoporosis
What is craniomandibular osteopathy?
"Lion jaw" Bony proliferation of mandible Primarily seen in westies and scotties Autosomal recessive 3-7 moths, stops at 11-13 months Causes pain, difficulty eating/drinking
What is osteogenesis imperfecta?
Defect in matrix synthesis (type 1 collagen)
Characterized by excessive bone fragility, pathologic fractures
What is osteopetrosis?
Failure of bone remodeling
Results in increased bone density
What is chondrodysplasia?
Not just one syndrome
Achondroplasia , disproportionate dwarfism
Osteoporosis?
Bone loss (restoration > formation)
Disuse, malnutrition, corticosteroids
Susceptible to fracture
What is osteopenia?
Decreased number of trabeculae
What are 3 metabolic bone diseases?
Scurvy
Fibrous osteodystrophy
Rickets
What is scurvy?
Only in species lacking L-gluconolactone oxidase (guinea pigs)
Lack of vitamin C->
Decreased lysine and proline hydroxylation in collagen ->
Impaired collagen synthesis ->
Weakened vessel walls and physeal cartilage deformity ->
Periarticular hemorrhage and osteochodrodysplasia
What causes fibrous osteodystrophy?
Primary hyperparathyroidism
Secondary hyperparathyroidism
What is primary hyperparathyroidism?
Functional parathyroid adenomas
Or
Parathyroid hyperplasia
What causes secondary hyperparathyroidism?
Ca:P imbalance in feed
Kidney disease
(Rubber jaw)
What is rickets?
Defect in endochondral ossification in young animals caused by deficiency of vitamin D or phosphorous
What is hypertrophic osteoPATHY
Has pathology!
Periosteum proliferation
Due to intrathoracic mass
Joints NOT involved
