Sosnowski Myopathies and Muscle Disorders Flashcards
this stain brings out slow and fast twitch muscle (dark and light stains) checkerboard pattern
NADH
inflammation of what tissue is pathologic (disease)
endomysium
surrounds single axon
endoneurium
inflammation of what tissue (nervous) is pathologic (disease)
endoneurium
surrounds groups of axons and blood vessels
perineurium
surrounds entire nerve
epineurium
myocytes without neuronal input become small until innervated by another type of neuron indicative of what
nerve damage
problem with muscle itself
myopathy
axonal degeneration that leads to angular atrophic (pointed) muscle fibers
neurogenic myopathy
happens when nerve damage continues
fiber type grouping atrophy
a lot of CT b/t muscle fibers and makes them small and round
myopathic
a demyelinating disorder thats deals with a problem with Schwann cells
chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
vision loss, muscle weakness, stiffness, spasms; demyelination and remyelination of peripheral nerves “onion bulb formation”
chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
most common damaged nerves in legs and feet; pain and numbness, weakness and loss of reflexes
diabetic neuropathy
histopathology shows amyloid deposition in endoneurium
diabetic neuropathy
any protein in an organ that malfunctions
amyloid
inflammatory neuropathy
inflammatory disorder of skin (rash) followed by myositis; perifascicular atrophy (rash around eyes followed by muscle weakness)
dermatomyositis
