Q

What is pericardial effusion

A

Abnormal accumulation of serous fluid between visceral and Parietal layers. Outer fibrous layer is not elastic, thus heart cannot fully explain during contractions. Pressure is relieved by aspiration of serous fluid.

24
Describe the blood delivery system
The heart to the artery to the arteriole to the capillary to the venule to the vein to the heart
25
What do arteries do
Carry blood away from the heart. Oxygenated except for pulmonary circulation and umbilical vessels of fetus
26
What to capillaries do
Contact tissue cells. Directly serve cellular needs. Site of diffusion
27
What do veins do
Carry deoxygenated blood toward heart
28
What is the lumen (in blood vessel)
Central blood containing space
29
How many layers does the lumen have
Three layers in the walls of arteries and veins. Smooth muscle, connective tissue and endothelium
30
Where are the capillaries located in the lumen
In the endothelium only
31
Describe arteries
Blood under higher pressure. Thicker walls more elastic fibers and smooth muscle
32
Describe veins
Blood under lower pressure. Valves prevent backflow skeletal muscles help push blood
33
Describe capillaries
Found in all tissue except for cartilage, epithelia, cornea and lens of Eye. ligaments and tendons are poorly vascularized. Provide direct access to almost every cell
34
What are the functions of capillaries
Exchange of gasses, nutrients, waste, hormones, defense.
35
Describe fetal circulation
The placenta is an organ of gas, nutrients, waste, exchange thus blood flow to the kidneys and lungs from G.I. tract is minimal
36
Describe the umbilical cord
Vein carries oxygenated blood flow from placenta to fetus via the ductus venosus. Arteries carry deoxygenated blood from fetus to placenta. Blood entering the right atrium can bypass lungs by the foreman ovale or ductus arteriosus.
37
What is pda
Patent ductus arteriosus. Vessel. Does not close afterbirth causing in adequate oxygenation. Most common congenital heart problem and dogs
38
What are the clinical signs of PDA
Shortness of breath, coughing, general weakness, exercise intolerance
39
How do you diagnose PDA
Auscultation for a murmur or an electro cardiogram
40
What is the treatment for PDA
Surgically close the ductus arteriosus
41
What are the signs of persistent right aortic arch condition
During normal fetal development or changes in the blood vessels. This vascular ring should've disappeared prior to birth it remains constricting the esophagus in the area dorsal to the heart.
42
What is it called when the esophagus is constricted between the ligamentum arteriosum and the aorta
PRAA
43
What is in atrial systole
The contraction of the atria. Blood moves from atria to the ventricles
44
What is a Ventricular systole
The contraction of ventricles. Blood moves from ventricles to arteries
45
What is an atrial diastole
The relaxation of the atria. Atria refills with blood
46
What is a ventricular diastole
The relaxation of ventricles. Ventricles begin to refill with blood
47
What is the lub sound mean
The closing of the AV valves. Mitral valve is best heard on the left side. Tricuspid valve is best heard on the right side
48
What is the dup sound mean
The closing of the semilunar valve. Both pulmonary and aortic valve's best heard on left side
49
How does the heart conduct
Cardiac muscles able to generate its own electrical impulse to signal contraction
50
What does the sinoatrial node do
Initiates heart beat by depolarizing the cells. Depolarization and eventual repolarization continue throughout the heart.
51
What is the order of cardiac conduction
The SA node to the AV node to the AV bundles to the purkinje fibers
52
How do you measure cardiac conduction
Measured by an electrocardiogram
53
Why is there a delay between the depolarization of the SA node and the AV node
So the atrium can fill with blood
54
What does an electrocardiogram do
It measures cardiac electrical activity to depolarization and repolarization
55
What is the cardiac output
Amount of blood that leaves the heart. Cardiac output is equal to heart rate plus stroke volume
56
What is the heart rate dependent on
The rate of SA node depolarization. The cardiac output is influenced by exercise, autonomic nervous system and blood pressure
57
Describe digital pulses in horses
Normally the pulse is weak. If there's a significant problem in the foot such as abscess or laminitis pulse will be stronger due to constriction of vessels in foot
58
What does afferent mean
Sends signal towards an organ
59
What does efferent mean
Sends a signal away from an organ
60
What is mitral valve disease
Mitral valve doesn't close properly. Causes endocarditis or endocardiosis, ruptured cordae tendinae. Endocardiosis is most common in small dogs. Can lead to pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure
61
What is congestive heart failure
Progressive disorder due to problems with blood flow through heart. Blood backs up. Right side causes ascites and left causes pulmonary edema
