Presentation Transcript

  1. Anatomy and Physiology of Dogs and Cats Bones, Joints, Synovial Fluid (Part Two)

  2. Periosteum • Composed of an outer fibrous layer and an inner cell-rich layer containing osteoblasts or other cells that can become osteoblasts

  3. Periosteum • Functions • Increase diameter of bone • Heals fractures

  4. Haversian System/Osteon • Unit of structure for compact bone • Central haversian canal surrounded by concentric layers of bone (lamellae) • Lack spongy bone • Contain blood vessels, connective tissues, nerve fibers and lymphatic vessels

  5. Cells • Osteoblasts • Produces collagen for the initial unmineralized bone and then helps calcify the bone matrix

  6. Cells • Osteocyte • Mature bone cell • Maintains the bone matrix • Can synthesize and resorb matrix to an extent

  7. Cells • Osteoclasts • Large, motile, multinucleated • Resorb bone for remodeling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78RBpWSOl08

  8. Joints and Synovial Fluid • Synovial joints are those that allow one surface to glide over the other • Motion is facilitated by articular cartilage and synovial joint fluid contained in joint capsule • The meniscus within joint capsule serves as a cushioning function

  9. Synovial Fluid • Contains hyaluronic acid and lubricin (glycoprotein) • Secreted by synovial membrane • Lubricates articular surfaces (light vs heavy loads)

  10. Blood and Lymph Supply to Synovial Joints • Arteries enter the bone near the line of the capsule attachment and form a network around the joint • Capillaries deliver nutrients • Lymph vessels present in blood vessels • Lymph vessels that leave joint, drain into regional lymph nodes

  11. Nerve Supply and Synovial Joints • Functions: • Pain and reflex • Role in posture, locomotion, and sense of tension from motion (tendons, muscles)
