(Pathology of the Lung)
(congential abnormalities)
1-3. What are three?
(Lung Lobe Torsion)
- what types of dogs get this?
- what lung lobes are involved?
- What is the cause?
- lung hypoplasia
- hamartoma (benign, focal malformation that resembles a neoplasm in the tissue of its origin)
- accessory lung
- deep-chested breeds
- right middle/left cranial
- usually idiopathic (trauma, neoplasm, pneumonia, pneumothorax)
(Pulmonary Atelectasis)
- what is this?
- how do affected areas look/feel?
- Can involve whole lungs, lobes, lobules
- will congenital survive birth?
- what are two forms of acquired?
- incomplete expansion or collapse of lung
- depressed and red, not firm
- no
- Compressive vs. Obstructuive

(Emphysema)
- Define it
2 most important as human disease
- What is alveolar emphysema?
(Interstital emphysema)
- gas present in what?
- forced expiration –> ?
- Affects species with what?
- enlarged gas-filled spaces in tissues
- destruction of alveolar walls with resulting enlargement of airspaces
- pulmonary interstitium
- wall rupture, dissection of gas into interstitum
- prominent interlobular septa (cattle)

(Pulmonary Edema)
- What is this?
- What happens to lung complicance?
- interfere with what?

- abnormal accumulation of transudate/fluid in alveoli and interstitium
- decreases (decreased elasticity)
- surfactant production oand gas exchange

PULMONARY

EDEMA

(Pulmonary Edema)
1 Histologically, edema fluid is what?
- eosinophilic, homogenous, faintly granular material filling the alveoli

1-5 WHAT ARE THE FIVE CAUES OF PULMONARY EDEMA?
- increased venous hydrostatic pressure
- increased permeability of the alveolar barrier
- impaired active transport of fluid from distal airways
- reduced oncotic pressure
- lymphatic obstruction
(there is some table on p38 i guess)

A (i think…)

don’t know this one - i’ll come back

B (i think…)
(Pulmonary Thrombosis/Thromboembolism)
1-3. What are the three mechanisms?
- vasculitis (bacteremia, dirofilariasis, mycoses)
- hypercoagulability (DIC, renal disease, neoplasia)
- changes in vascular flow (torsion)
