Q

the stem cells associated w/ the coronary corium generate cells that will form….

A

the inner and outer stratum

23
Q

the stem cells associated with the ____ corium are quiescent

A

laminar

24
Q

The perioplic, coronary, sole and frog corium all belong to what larger corium type

A

papillary, therefore associated w/ hoof regions responsible for wall growth

25
Q

The perioplic, coronary, sole and frog corium all provide ____ to stem cells

A

support, nutrients, oxygen

26
Q

the germinative layer of the hoof capsule is synonymous to what stratum layer

A

basale

27
Q

the stratum basale at the papillae region produces the _____ hoof

A

tubular

28
Q

the stratum basale at the inter-papillary regions produces the ____ hoof

A

inter-tubular

29
Q

keratinization of the tubular and inter-tubular hoof occurs where

A

below the papillae

30
Q

what does Rhodamine (red compound) stain

A

keratinizied tissue

31
Q

a _____ area exists b/w the stem cells and keratinized cells

A

non-keratinized area

32
Q

the stem cells on the papilla and inter-papillary region are equivalent to what in skin

A

stratum basale

33
Q

what strata contain Rhomadine-negative cells

A

S. spinosum and S. granulosum

34
Q

what strata contain Rhomadine-positive cells

A

S. corneum

35
Q

how is the stratum internum of the wall formed

A

interlocking of epidermal and dermal lamellae

36
Q

purpose of stratum internum

A
  • create the suspensory apparatus for the 3rd phalanx and its associated structures

makes attachment of capsule and corium efficient

37
Q

The laminar corium attaches to the periosteum of the ______ and to the perichondrium of the ______

A

periosteum of the 3rd phalanx and the perichondrium of the lateral cartilages

38
Q

purpose of secondary lamellae

A

increase SA for attachment

39
Q

how are the stem cells (s. basale) located on the surface of the secondary dermal lamellae different than those of the papillary corium

A

these stem cells normally don’t differentiate; they are quiescent unless needed to heal wounds at wall

40
Q

in the sole and frog, the corium attaches to the solar surface of the 3rd phalanx, except at the ______, where it attaches to the digital cushion

A

bulbs

41
Q

what is the zona alba

A

the union of the wall and sole that is poorly pigmented

42
Q

at the zona alba, the papillary corium (terminal papillae) replaces what

A

papillary corium replaces the laminar corium and produces the full keratinization of the stratum internum

43
Q

the stem cells of the papillary corium (terminal papillae) generate new hoof between ?

A

new hoof b/w epidermal lamellae

44
Q

what are the lamellar remodeling enzymes involved in hoof growth

A
  • Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP I+II) : digest laminin and collagen
  • Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase : inhibit MMPs
45
Q

explain how hoof growth occurs

A
  1. non-keratinized cells from the papillary corium push down keratinized cells of the hoof capsule

— this creates a pressure area that induces the expression of matrix metalloproteinases
— they detach the epidermal and dermal lamellae

  1. keratninized cells slide down on the s. basale fo the secondary lamellae

– once pressure goes away, the union of the lamellae takes place again by secreting metalloproteinase inhibitors

46
Q

the tubular horn works as a specialized ‘________”

A

“column”

47
Q

What are the hoof strategies to avoid ‘column’ rupture

A
  • inter-tubular horns reduce fragility by embedding tubular horn
  • central cavity + concentric layers provide flexibility to tubular horn
  • frog provides complementary support
  • sole-frog angles open to cushion weight load
48
Q

what structural differences are seen in the artiodactyl hoof

A
  • no frog, but has extensive digital pad
  • no bars
  • reduced sole
  • wall extends distally
  • no secondary lamellae
49
Q

identify 2,3,4

A

2 = wall
3 = sole
4 = digital pad

50
Q

in artiodactyl hooves, the corium of the digital pad is equivalent to that of the ____

A

frog in perissodactyl

51
Q

1?

A

1 = epidermal lamellae

52
Q

in an artiodactyl hoof, the corium of the digital pad is continuous w/ the one of the ____

A

sole. there is no clear distinction b/w the two

53

A
