  • Front
  • Back
disease
interruption or deviation from normal functions or processes that are ongoing within a cell or entire body system
pathology
study of disease
immunology
study of immune system
occupational safety
physical measures for protection against bites and scratches as well as safefy measures related to equipment used to take and process samples, develop radiographs, and prevent contraction of zoonotic diseases

invades lining of mucosal cells of intestinal tract
symptoms occur 5-12 days after infection

caused by parainfluenza vius that impairs function of cilia lining the trachea and bordetella bronchiseptica causing cough and irritation
vaccine effective
coronavirus
enteric virus invades cells of intestinal lining
symptoms like parvo
spread via fecal-oral route

effusive form with fluid accumulation and dry form
definitive diagnosis only through antemortem
no vaccine

vaccine effective
feline immunodeficiency virus
caused by RNA virus that undermines immun system
spread via saliva
no vaccine
panleukopenia
similar to parvovirus
affects development of fetal brain causing intention tremor
vaccine effective
rhinotracheitis
caused by herpesvirus, manifests as mild respiratory tract infection
lesions limited to mucosal surfaces
vaccine effective
five symptoms of inflammation
heat
redness
pain
swelling
loss of function
three processes involved in inflammation
blood flow increasing to site of injury
capillary permeability increasing
leukocytes migrating to affected area
kallikrein-kinin system
kallikrien is involved in formation of kinins, kinins are released with causes vasodilation, increased permability, and increased lymph drainage
complement system
attacks bacterial invaders
classical pathway
initiated when an antibody attaches to an antigen on the surface of a bacterium
alternate pathway
correlates with nonspecific immunity
stimulated by bacterial cell wall
prostaglandins
enhance pain stimulation and vascular chances related to bradykinin activity
housed in macrophages
suppurative exudate
consists of neutrophils and dead cells
fibrinous exudate
consists of plasma proteins such as fibrinogen
serous exudate
consists of proteins
nonsuppurative inflammation
consists of mononuclear cells such as monocytes and lymphocytes
three different classifications of necrosis
coagulation necrosis
liquefaction necrosis
caseous necrosis
causes of cell injury
hypoxia
chemical agents
physical agents
genetic abnormalities
biological agents
immune-mediated mechanisms
nutritional abnormalities
lipid peroxidation
free radical combine with unsaturated lipids in the cellmembrane resulting in formation of a lipid radical and lipid peroxide causing widespread membrane damage
four phases of wound healing
inflammatory
debridement
repair
maturation
peptide growth factors important to wound healing
platelet-derived growth factor
epidermal growth factor
fiboblast growth factor
transforming growth factor
parenchymal regeneration
based on cellular regeneration
connective tissue replacement
involves scar formation
zones in granulaton tissue
zone of mature connective tissue
zone of capillary proliferation
zone of capillary sprouts and arches
zone of necrotic debris
four methods of wound closure
primary closure-first intention
delayed primary closure
secondary closure
second intention
five biological agents that cause cell injury
bacteria
virus
fungi
protozoa
algae
four cell types important in cellular defense
phagocytes
helper cells
cytotoxic cells
suppressor cells
humoral defense system
carries antibodies throughout animal's body in fluids
structure of antibody molecule
four protein chains, two light and two heavy
constant region and variable region
joined together in a Y shape
four classes of immunoglobulins
IgG-most common, provide long-term immunity
IgM-largest, made of five Y units with 10 binding sites, first responders
IgA-coat mucosal surfaces, prevent invaders from gaining entry to the body
how immunologlobulins work against invaders
block invaders from entering cells
agglutinate invaders
opsonize invaders, make them easier to phagocytize
help immune system kill invaders
active immunity
vaccination
passive immunity
received from colostrum or transfusion
live virus
actual virus is injected
ex:brucella
modified liver virus
altered virus
ex: rabies
killed virus
remains intact but killed with chemical
ex:clostridial vaccines
