Bone (Dark) Flashcards
1
Q
Normal depends on
A
- species
- breed
- age
2
Q
Spongy bone aka…
A
- trabecular bone
- cancellous bone
3
Q
Osteon
A
- Sits around haversion canal
- Run legthwise along the bone
4
Q
Osteoblasts
A
- line bony trabeculae
- build new bone
5
Q
Osteoclasts
A
- multinucleated cells
- break down bown
6
Q
Osteocytes
A
- sit in lacunae (one osteocyte/lacuna)
7
Q
Formation
Intramembranous ossification
A
- flat bones (skull)
- no growth plates
- fibrous connective tissue - osteoid secreted into membrane - entrapped osteoblasts become osteocytes - form woven bone and periosteum - final layer of compact bone
8
Q
Formation
endochondral ossification
A
- Long bones
- require growth plates
- predominantly inc in length
- hyaline cartilage model - primary ossification center (periosteum surrounding) - secondary ossification center at end - physeal plate - articular cartilage
9
Q
Growth plate function requires
A
- Angiogenesis
- needs adequately mineralized colagen/cartilage
- needs adequate blood vessel quality
10
Q
Diseases and effect on bone growth
A
- Achondroplasia: effects early stages of cartilage
- Rickets: effects later stages of cartilage and zone of calcification
- Osteogenesis Imperfecta: failure to properly ossify
- Osteopetrosis: failure to remodel
11
Q
Greenstick fracture
A
- incomplete fracture in young animals
- better prognosis
12
Q
Comminution
A
multiple fragments
13
Q
displacement
A
how has distal part moved compared to proximal
14
Q
OLD ACID
A
O: open vs closed
L: location
D: degree (complete vs incomplete)
A: articular extension
C: comminution / pattern
I: intrinsic bone quality (pathologic fracture)
D: Displacement, Angulation, Rotation
15
Q
Fractures: Healing
A
- Hematoma
- Fibrocartilagenous callus
- Bony Callus
- Remodeling
