Final Review Flashcards
What are the functions of bone?
Physical: serve, protect, support; Metabolic: mineral, hemopoiesis, fat storage
What are the classifications of bone?
Long: in limbs, short: in limbs, flat: hemopoiesis, Sesamoid: in tendons to protect from friction, irregular
What are the origins of bone?
Cartilaginous: replaces a cartilage model-continuous production and resorption allows bone to elongate; intramembranous: forms directly within a sheet of connective tissue (bones of skull and face)
What is the blood supply of the bones?
Nutrient artery-largest single source of blood
What are the main bones to know?
C1-Atlas, has wings and the atlantooccipital joint allows for “yes”; C2-Axis, has a dens and the atlantoaxial joint allows for “no”, C6-radiographic landmark with huge ventral lamina, C7-lacks transverse foramen, has caudal costal fovea; T11-anticlinal vertebra, no costal fovea, sagittal joint
What are the types of joints?
Fibrous (suture-flat bones of the skull, gomphosis-between roots of teeth and alveoli/formed by periodontal ligament, syndesmoses-all others, like between metacarpals), cartilaginous (hyaline-usually temporary and ossify with age like costochondral joints, fibrocartilaginous-like pelvic symphysis and intervertebral discs), synovial (have joint cavity, joint capsule, synovial fluid to help remove waste/lubrication/nourishment-from membrane that is vascularised and innervated and doesnt cover articular surface and is primary source of joint pain, and articular cartilage-avascular and aneural) (ligaments-extra (collateral, most appendicular synovial joints), and intracapsular)
Describe the joints
Humeral-flexion/extension, lacks true collateral ligaments; cubital-compound, thick collateral ligaments; coxal-great range of motion because of ball and socket, lacks collateral ligaments, ligament of the head of the femur is intracapsular and anchors head to acetabulum; genual-bones do not fit together well and there is instability in axes, has 2 menisci and 10 ligaments (8 intra, 2 extra)
Describe integument system
Functions: physical barrier, sensory, ionic pool for water and electrolytes, vitamin D synthesis, thermoregulation, immunity, intraspecies communication
What does the integument include?
Epidermis (avascular), dermis (dense connective tissue, vascularized and innervated), hypodermis (collagen and elastic with fat, thickening helps with movement and has cutaneous muscles and folds), accessory structures like hair, sweat glands, etc
What are the types of skin glands?
Sebaceous-secrete sebum, drains into hair follicles, lubricates and waterproofs skin and coat; sweat-apocrine (asso. with hair, create odor) and merocrine (not associated with hair, found on footpads, watery secretion)
What are the specialised skin glands?
Ceruminous-in external auditory canal, secretes ear wax, in dogs and cats; circumoral-in cats, sebaceous, on lips; carpal-cats and pigs, proximal to carpal pad and marked by a tuft of hair; caudal-dogs and cats, dorsal surface of hair and more activity during breeding season, can cause hyperplasia and stud tail; circumanal-dogs, by anus, empty by bursting, role in steroid synthesis and site of tumors; glands of the anal sacs-dogs and cats, in walls, secrete during pooping
What are the types of hair?
Guard-lie close against skin, straight and stiff, form top coat; wool-fine and wavy, form undercoat; tactile-modification of guard hairs, thicker and protrude beyond hairs
What is the hair cycle?
Finite seasonal shedding, anagen->early catagen->late catagen->telogen->early anagen
Describe the mammary glands
Dogs: bilaterally symmetrical rows, has glandular complex with papilla, 5 pairs-4 for cat, 1 less abdominal- (2 thoracic, 2 abdominal, 1 inguinal), tubuloalveolar sweat, multiple openings to a single duct, thoracic and cranial abdominal mammae drain to axillary lymph nodes, caudal and inguinal to superficial inguinal lymph node; NO CONNECTIONS BETWEEN L AND R SIDES
What are the functions of muscles?
maintain posture of body, moves substances inside body, generation of body heat, provide support, glycogen storage
What is skeletal muscle organization?
Whole muscle surrounded by epimysium, each fascicle in perimysium, individual muscle fibers by endomysium
How are muscles attached?
Tendons (from collagen fibers, damaged by much force, protection by sesamoid bones and synovial bursae, mesotenons provide vascular supply and sensory), aponeurosis (densely arranged collagen), fleshy
Explain deep fascia
Hold sutures well, fairly bloodless separation of muscles, inflammation or swelling of muscles or fluid accumulation compresses other structures, need to direct the drain of fluids, thickenings are retinacula
What are the forms of muscles?
Spindle-active belly (biceps, triceps), pennate-fibers oblique to the force (rectus femoris, deltoid), sphincter, circular, wide with tendinous tissue or aponeurosis
Skeletal muscle
stimulated to contract by lower alpha motor neurons originating in CNS, contraction is an all or none event, muscle spindles give info about muscle length, Golgi tendon organs give info about muscle tension
What is the patellar reflex?
patellar ligament->stretch musculotendinous junction->stimulates muscle spindle->reflexive contraction
Epaxial versus hypaxial muscles
Epaxial-innervated by dorsal branches of spinal nerves, ILT, extend vertebral column and produce lateral movement when only on one side; hypaxial-by ventral branches of spinal nerves
Inspiration and expiration
Inspiration is active, diaphragm is most important, scalenus and serratus dorsalis cranialis; expiration is passive and a function of lung elastic recoil, forceful by abdominal wall and serratus dorsalis caudalis; intercostal muscles are both and draw ribs together, external has caudoventral fibers and internal has cranioventral fibers
What are the contents of the thoracic outlet?
Lumbocostal Arch-sympathetic trunk and major splanchnic nerve, Aortic hiatus-azygos vein, aorta, thoracic duct, esophageal hiatus-esophagus, dorsal and ventral vagal trunks, caval foramen-caudal vena cava
