Lead can bind to mineral portion of bone and cartilage
In young animals ingesting large dose at once
- -> Lead induced malfunction of osteoclasts
- -> Transverse band of increased density on radiographs of metaphysis = "lead line" = growth retardation lattice

+***Intoxication during teeth development
+***Foci of poor enamel formation - yellow, dark brown/black, chalky

+***Generalised skeletal disturbance
+***Most affected are metatarsals and mandibles
+***Periosteal hyperostosis + endosteal bone resorption -> thickened bones with enlarged marrow cavities
