Lecture 9: Histology of Hoof Flashcards
perissodactyl
odd-toed (horses)
artiodactyl
even-toed
- cattle, sheep, goat, pig
specialization of skin that results from the cornification of the entire integument at the distal end of the digit
hoof
hoof capsule is _____
epidermis (germinative, proliferative, keratinized layers)
corium is ______
dermis (innervated + vascularized)
what layer of the hoof capsule is fully keratinized
S. corneum
what layer of hoof is only partially keratinized
S. granulosum
what layer of hoof contains stem cells
S. basale
what layer of hoof contains proliferative cells
S. spinosum
what is the periople
zone of transition from skin to hoof
the unions of the hoof wall with the base of the frog are the ______
bulbs
identify the numbers
2 = wall
2c = bars
3 = sole
4 = frog
identify 2a and 2b
2a = perioplic groove
2b = coronary groove
what are 3 and 4
3 = sole
4 = frog
how many layers is the corium?
just ONE, single layer w/ different zones
what are the zones of the wall corium
- perioplic c.
- coronary c.
- laminar c.
what strata layers make up the hoof wall?
- s. externum
- outer s. medium
- inner s. medium
- stratum internum
what layer of hoof wall is the area of overlapping b/w the corium and hoof capsule
Stratum internum
what wall stratum are associated with the different corium zones
Perioplic corium
- stratum externum
coronary corium
- outer stratum medium
- inner stratum medium
laminar corium
- stratum internum
identify 1, 2, 4, 7
1 = periople
2 = perioplic corium
4 = coronary corium
7 = laminar corium
The ______ corium is associated with the stem cells that give rise to the proliferative cells, which eventually get keratinized and constitute the stratum externum of the wall
perioplic corium
