Q

What is the most common genetic defect?

A

defect in the myostatin gene

Congenital muscle hyperplasia due to increased number of myofibres

22
Q

What are the most common failures of muscle development?

A
  1. Myofibrils fail to develop
  2. Congenital defects in diaphragmatic muscle
23
Q

What is myotonia?

A

inability of the skeletal muscle to relax

results in spasmodic contraction

hyperkalemic periodic paralysis in quarter horses

24
Q

What causes malignant hyperthermia?

A

defective ryanodine receptor

25
Q

What is occlusion of a major artery?

A

aortilliac thrombosis

26
Q

How does a nutritional deficiency cause muscle damage?

A

high metabolic activity of muscle makes it sensitive to free radical damage, needs antioxidants as a defence mechanism

27
Q

What is the most common nutritional deficiency?

A

Selenium

Selenium protects cells from oxidative injury

28
Q

What does muscle affected by nutritional deficiency look like?

A

Pale ‘white muscle disease’

29
Q

When are livestock most prone to ingesting toxins

A

pasture, hay or processed feed

30
Q

What is ionophore toxicity?

A

class of antibiotics used as feed alternatives

31
Q

What is exertional myopathy?

A

ionic and physical events associated with myofibre contraction leads to myofibre necrosis in certain conditions

32
Q

What is bacterial myositis?

A

fairly common in livestock, the response is similiar to response in bacterial infection anywhere else in the body

diffuse infection without an abscess

33
Q

What do endocrine diseases lead to?

A

type 2 myofibre atrophy

34
Q

What can electrolyte abnormalities cause?

A

profound weakness and myofibre necrosis

35
Q

What is the definition of a neuromuscular disease?

A

Conditions with clinical signs primarily of muscle dysfunction

36
Q

What can happen with compensatory hypertrophy?

A

Fibre splitting in order to reduce diffusion distance

37
Q

What is global necrosis?

A

Necrosis of the entire fibre

37
Q

What is segmental necrosis?

A

Necrosis of part of the muscle fibre

38
Q

What mineral usually causes necrosis of muscle fibres

A

Ca2+ which can also go on to trigger necrosis in all cell types
* as a result, muscles are prone to mineralisation

39
Q

What is an example of a disease caused by failure to innervate?

A

arthrogryposis in ruminants

severe alteration in myofibre innervation

40
Q

What does a defect in the myostatin gene cause?

A

Congenital muscle hyperplasia due to an increased number of myofibres

41
Q

What is the pathogenesis of true muscular dystrophy in dogs?

A
  • Defect in the dystrophin gene allows gaps in the sarcoplasm
  • Causes Calcium to enter the cell
  • regulated necrosis and regeneration
  • progressive cardiomyopathy and skeletal muscle wasting
42
Q

What causes fainting goats?

A

Chloride Channel defect

43
Q

What is exertional myopathy?

A

ionic and physical events that are associated with myofibre contraction that lead to myofibre necrosis
* often there is also a pre-existing condition

44
Q

What does exertional myopathy relate to in horses?

A

Equine Polysaccharide storage myopathy

45
Q

What introduces bacterial myositis?

A
  • Direct penetration from wounds
  • Haematogenous spread
  • Spread from mearby cellulitis
46
Q

What does Haemorrhagic myonecrosis look like?

A
  • Red/ black areas with gas bubbles
  • Clostridial species release toxins that are often acute, often fatal
47
Q

What does pyogenic bacteria muscle disease look like?

A
  • Localised suppurative and necrotising myosistis
  • may resolve completely or become an abscess
48
Q

What occurs in immune-mediated myositis?

A

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes damage myofibres

49
Q

What does endocrine disease lead to?

A

Endocrine disease leads to type II myofibre atrophy
* neuropathy and denervation atrophy (resulting altered fibre type pattern)

50
Q

What do electrolyte abnormalities cause?

A
  • Profound weakness, sometimes myofibre necrosis
