Term
Centre of Ossification
Definition
zones in bones where mineralization begins
Term
Bone growth
Definition
physis/growth plate: cartilage between centre of ossifications, proliferates then mineralises
Term
Intervertebral Foramen
Definition
holes in vertebrae (L+R side) by which spinal nerves pass out to body
Term
Brachial Plexus
Definition
the joining of spinal nerves from C6-8, T1-2 into a bundle.
emerging fibers supply
LATTISSIMUS DORSI
SERRATUS VENtrALIS
PECTORALS
Term
Muscle Patho Biochem Markers
Definition
shows integrity NOT function
Creatine Kinase (CK-MM, MB, BB)
Aspartate Aminotransferase
Myoglobin
Term
PM exam of muscle
Definition
rigor
color
texture
size
smell
Term
Muscle Fibers
Definition
Type I: aerobic, red muscle. postural. slow response, slow fatigue
Type II: anaerobic, white muscle. propulsive, fast response/fatigue
Term
Massons Trichrome Stain
Definition
collage appears green
Term
Muscle necrosis
Definition
if basal laminae intact then there is regen, if not then fibrosis
Term
Classifications of Muscle Necrosis
Definition
Focal Monophasic (IM inj)
Multifocal monophasic (toxin)
focal polyphasic (repeated trauma)
multifocal polyphasic (Se deficiency)
Term
Muscle Atrophy
Definition
decrease myofibre diameter (gen Type II)
decrease muscle volume
slowly progressive
denervation leads to rapid disintegration of myofibrils
Term
Muscle Hypertrophy
Definition
increased size by adding myofibrils (permanent)
Term
Degenerative Muscle Diseases
Definition
Ischaemia
Nutritional Myopathy
Toxin
Exertional
Traumatic
Term
Inflammatory Muscle Diseases
Definition
Bacterial
Parasitic
Immune Mediated
Term
Inherited Muscle Diseases
Definition
Muscular Distrophy
Term
Neoplastic Muscular Diseases
Definition
Primary
Secondary
Term
Ischaemia related degenerative muscle diseases
Definition
due to decreased blood flow
myofibrils first, then satellite cells, then CT
Term
Nutritional Myopathy (degenerative)
Definition
due to decrease nutrients/vitamins (E or selenium)
WHITE MUSCLE DISEASE
tissue because necrotic and pale
multifocal and polyphasic
Term
Toxic degenerative muscular disease
Definition
degeneration,
SYCAMORE SEEDS in horse (more than live stock)
Term
Exertional degenerative muscle disease
Definition
Capture Myopathy
Monday Morning DZ: muscle swelling/pain, myoglobinuria. underlying condition: EPSM (equine polysaccharide storage myopathy). has to do with glycogen accumulation in type II fibres
Term
Traumatic degenerative muscle disease
Definition
crushing, laceration, rupture, tearing
Term
Bacteria Inflammatory muscle disease
Definition
penetrating wound, adjacent infection, haematogenous spread
BLACK LEG: Clostridium chauvoei: spore formation in skeletal muscle activated by trauma, release of toxin causes pathology
Term
Parastic Inflammatory muscle disease
Definition
TACHYZOITES (protozoans) Toxoplasma gondii or Neospora caninum
vertical transmission (female to offspring)
Term
Immune Mediated Inflammatory muscle disease
Definition
Masticatory muscle myositis (canine)
Term
Primary Muscle Neoplasia
Definition
Rhabdomyoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma
Term
Secondary Muscle Neoplasia
Definition
extension of nearby tissue
inj. site carcinoma
mast cell tumors
infiltrative lipoma
Term
Tenocytes
Definition
fibroblasts, aligned in longitudinal rows alongside collagen fibres. Synthesize and degrade all of the collagenous and non-collagenous matrix
Term
Clinical Tendon Injury
Definition
Acute (Inflammatory) Phase - commonly asymptomatic
Subacute (Proliferation) Phase - inflam cells replaced by tenocytes which begin repair
Chronic (Remodelling and Maturation) Phase - scar tissue, disorganised collagen fibriles, increase # fibroblasts,
Term
Hierarchical structure of the tendon
Definition
Tendon
Peritendon
Endotendon
Primary Bundle
Fibril
Microfibril
Collagen Fibril
Tropocollagen
Term
Tendons of the distal forelimb of the Horse
Definition
Superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT)
Deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT)
Suspensory ligament
Common digital extensor tendon
Term
SDFT injury
Definition
SDFT injury one of most common injuries in racing Thoroughbreds, Prevalence ~11-30%.
Injury usually occurs in the mid-metacarpal region
Risk of injury increases with age and intensity of exercise
Often preceded by a period of subclinical microdamage
Term
microdamage
Definition
The accumulation of subclinical changes to the tendon at the microscopic level
Term
the red core lesion
Definition
more advanced microdamage
No clinical signs, swelling
Often found incidentally at post-mortem
Can be seen on ultrasound
More type III collagen = smaller, weaker fibrils
Term
Exercise Associated Causes of Tendon Injury
Definition
Mechanical Overload
Hyperthermia
Hypoxia
Stress Deprivation
Term
Acute (inflammatory) phase
Definition
early lesions are commonly asymptomatic
Term
Subacute (proliferation) phase
Definition
Inflammatory cells begin to be replaced by fibroblastic cells and small blood vessels
The fibroblastic cells (tenocytes) are responsible for repair
Fibroblasts migrate into the tendon from two sites:
1) the tendon sheath (extrinsic repair)
2) epitenon/endotenon (intrinsic repair)
Term
Chronic (remodelling and maturation) phase
Definition
Chronic lesions contain scar tissue, disorganised collagen fibrils, increased numbers of fibroblasts and enlarged endotenon
Over time, the lesion becomes more organised (cellularity decreases, collagen fibriles align)
Process can take months to years
