(03) p83 Flashcards
(Physical Noxious Stimuli)
- local affects (can cause what?)
(Systemic Effects)
- anemia (blood loss) can cause what?
- What is “wound shock”?
- hyperkalemia - due to what?
- “crush kidneys” (chromoproteinemic nephrosis) - reduced blood supply to what? increased amount of what from damaged muscles cells?
- bone marrow emboli to lungs after what?
- generalized infections
- local infections
- hypovalemi shock (usually at 1/3 of blood loss)
- loss of fluid due to histamin release in damaged tissue (aggravates effect of blood loss)
- release of intracellular potassium from large number of lethally injured cells (–> arrhtymias)
- reduced blood supply to kidneys; myoglobin (floods the kidney)
- bone fractures (bone gets into bloodstream?)
(Physical Noxious Stimuli)
(Temperature)
- hyperthemia - often in combination with what?
- dehydration due to what?
- what in skin and what in internal organs?
- heat shock (greater than what core temp?)
(Combustio)
- what from dry heat?
- from wet heat?
- what are the four levels of burn?
- strenous exercise
- fluid and electrolyte loss
- vasodilation in skin and vasoconstriciton in internal organs
- >43C –> disseminated intravascular coagulation = DIC) - insolation (solariasis) - overheated brain
- burn
- scold
- C. erythematosa (reddening) –> bullosa (blister) –> escharotica (full thickness sloughing/necrosis of epidermis - heals poorly) –> carbonisata (charcoal)
(Physical Noxious Stimuli)
(Temperature)
- Hypothermia - less than what temperature?
(Congelatio - freezes)
- what are the three levels?
- what is the main problem?
- < 35 C = 95 F
- C. erythematosa –> bullosa –> escharotica –> gangraenosa
- internal ice in cells with cause damage
(Physical Noxious Stimuli)
(Actinic)
- caused by what?
- Only damaging after what occurs? caused by what? leads to what?
- white ears of cattle and cats —> squamous cell carcinoma - examples of what?
(Ionizing radiation)
- local radiation versus full body radiation; oral uptake
- what are two sources?
- what tissues and cells are highly vulnerable?
- visible sunlight/UV light
- photosensitization; presence of photodynamic (absorb energy and form radicals) compounds in skin; damage to non-haired, non-pigmented skin regions (“photodermatitis”)
- sun burn
- x-rays, gamma rays
6 mitotic active cells (younger individuals more susceptible) and water containing tissues
(Photosensitization)
- what is the uptake of photodynamic compunds with food (eg plants) –> deposition in skin
- what is inherited defect in porphryin metabolism; what happens to abberrant porphyrin metabolites?
- what one only occurs in ruminants?
- primary photosensitivy
- secondary photosensitiy; abberrant poryphrin metabolites are photodynamic and deposited in skin
- hepatogenic photosensitivity

(Physical Noxious Stimuli)
(Electricity)
- household current causes what?
- lightning strike - death usually due to what?
- power line collisions in birds
(Climate)
- slow decrease in atmospheric pressure and oxygen concentration causes what?
- sudden decrease of atmosphere pressure = ?
- What is cause by sudden increases in atm pressure (
- burns, arrhythmias/cardiac arrest
- paralysis of respiration center in brainstem (no lesions)
- high altitude disease = brisket disease (the right heart gets all fucked up)
- diver disease (gas emboli in vasculature)
- explosions - pulmonary hemmorrhages
(Chemical Noxes)
(toxins)
(exogenous toxins)
- what are lead, mercury, arsenic?
- what are alkaloids and glycosides?
- what is venom?
(Endogenous toxins)
- are products of what?
- lead, mercury, arsenic
- plant toxins
- animal toxins
- metabolism (ammonia, ketones, urates)
(Chemical Noxes)
(Toxins (in sensu strictu): antigenic group and toxiphoric group)
(Effect of toxins)
- dependent on what?
- toxins have to be what to be absorbed by cells?
- cytolysis, altering enzyme activity/cell metabolism
(Host Defense mechanisms)
1-3. what three?
- concentation, route of up take, etc
- soluble (at least need to adhere)
- reflexes
- elimination
- metabolism (liver or kdney)
(Chemical Noxes)
(Effect of toxins)
- biochemical mechanisms
- cause quick death
- slower
(target organs)
- acute toxicosis (strychnine)
- chronic toxins (carcinogens)
just read the thing then…

(Chemical noxes)
(pathologic findings of intoxication)
- do most toxicosis cause lesions? those that do are called what?
(Testing for toxins)
- history and crime scence investigation
- chemical analysis of gastric content, liver, kidney, urine, blood, brain, adipose tissue depending of toxin type and time course
- no; pathognomic (indicative of the cause) lesions
what is the toxic thing in chocolate for dogs?
- theobromine
(Nutrition)
(Quantitaive)
- what are the two examples?
- what is protein-energy deficiency syndrome called?
(Qualitative)
- can be lack of what?
- can be reduced what?
- emaciation and obesity
- cachexia
- essential factors (vitamins and minerals)
- enteric absorption (enterocarence) (or presence of capture molecules or antagonistic/competing compounds in food)
