Degeneration

Degenerate muscle fibres (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)
  • Different types of degeneration
  • May, or may not, be reversible
  • Cloudy swelling, hydropic, vacuolar, granular and fatty change
  • Occur following many different types of insult and are usually segmental
  • If regeneration does not occur after formation of small vacuoles, necrosis follows
  • Vacuolar degeneration:
    • Due to swelling of organelles or due to glycogen or fat accumulation
    • May be caused by hypokalaemia, hyperkalaemia or necrosis
  • Histologically:
    • Swollen
    • Hypereosinophilic
    • Lost cross striations

Muscle Calcification

Muscle Ossification

Muscle Pigmentation

Nutritional myopathy

White muscle disease

Exertional myopathies

  • Caused by intensive and exhaustive activity of major muscle masses
  • Glycogen used up -> local heat and lactic acid -> muscle degeneration
  • Other forms include capture myopathy, racing greyhounds, sheep chased by dogs


Equine Rhabdomyolysis

Porcine Stress Syndrome

Neuromuscular junction diseases

Aquired myasthenia gravis


Botulism

Circulatory disturbances

Muscle Congestion

Muscle Ischaemia

Muscle Trauma
