temporal and masseter
35
describe how to prepare muscle sample
1. Collect muscle strip not larger than 1cm with myofibers running length wise 2. Place on rigid surface (tongue depressor) to avoid contraction band artifacts after placing in fixative
36
how does the skin, subcutis and fascia act as defense mechanism of skeletal muscle
form structural barrier to protect from external injury
37
how does vasculature act as defense mechanism for skeletal muscle
collateral circulation protects against ischemia Recruitment of monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils Capillary endothelium resistant to tumor metastasis
38
what can cause disturbances of circulation and lead to a degenerative myopathy
1. Occlusion of major blood vessel 2. External pressure on muscle 3. Compartment syndrome- swelling impedes blood- ischemia 4. Vasculitis/vasculopathies
39
nutritional deficiency is a result in loss of __mechanism
Antioxidant defense
40
what are common nutritional deficiencies and is the result
vitamin E or selenium deficiency—> necrosis and pale—> oxidative injury—> white muscle disease
41
selenium is vital in __ system which protects against ___
glutathione perioxidase, oxidative injury
42
how do ionophore cause toxic myopathies
overdose—> disruption of ionic equilibrium—> calcium overload—> skeletal and cardiac muscle necrosis
43
what are some clinical signs of ionophore toxicity
anorexia, diarrhea, weakness
44
__ and __ are extremely high with ionophore toxicity
CK and AST
45
what is the most common degenerative myopathy in cows and what is cause
Plant toxicity due to senna occidentalis
46
horse that lived with cows suddenly became very weak, off feed, colic signs, arrhythmias. This histo was taken- what wrong and what likely cause
Necrosis and fragmented muscle fibers Cause: ionophore toxicity
47

from patient with GBE deficiency, what is arrow pointing at
hyaline inclusion

immune mediated disordered caused by circulating autoantibodies that target skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor
68
autoantibodies in myasthenia gravis damage receptor due to __ or __

70
how do you dx myasthenia gravis
detection of autoantibodies to acetylcholine receptor in blood
71
botulinum toxicity is characterized by profound __
flaccid paralysis
72

dogs: type C Ruminants: type C and D Horses: type C and B
74
what is the cause of tick paralysis
toxins produced by dermacentor or ixodes ticks that block acetylcholine release at axon terminal
75
