An increased tendency of the blood to clot, often due to genetic conditions, medications, or diseases.
112
Type of thrombin: Form in veins, particularly deep veins (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, or DVT). Composed mostly of red blood cells and fibrin, with fewer platelets. Common in areas of slow or stagnant blood flow and can lead to conditions like pulmonary embolism if the clot travels to the lungs.
Venous thrombi
112
Type of thrombin: Completely block a blood vessel, preventing blood flow. Can form in both arteries and veins, leading to tissue ischemia (lack of oxygen) and damage.
Occlussive thrombi
112
Type of thrombin: Form in arteries. Composed mostly of platelets and fibrin. Often associated with atherosclerosis and can cause conditions like myocardial infarction (heart attack) or ischemic stroke.
Arterial throbi

Abnormal blood flow
113
Type of thrombin: Associated with infection. Contain microorganisms and can form as a result of septicemia (blood infection). Can lead to the spread of infection if they embolize (break off and travel to another location).
Septic thrombi
113
Type of thrombin: Consist primarily of platelets and fibrin. Usually form in areas of high blood flow like arteries, where they develop slowly and remain adhered to the vessel wall.
White thrombi
114
Growth of thrombus is downstream resulting in a tail that does not attached to the vessel wall.
Mural thrombi
114
Thrombus formation often occur in areas of slow blood flow or statis. They are dark red and gelatinous as a result of large number of erythrocytes that are loosely incorporated into the thrombus because of the slow blood flow. Most of these are occlusive.
Venous thrombus
114
Type of thrombin: Composed predominantly of red blood cells, with fewer platelets and fibrin. Typically form in veins, where blood flow is slower, leading to a darker red appearance.
Red thrombi
114
A thrombus that are composed primarily of platelets and fibrin and because of rapid flow of blood which tends to exclude erythrocytes from the thrombus; thus they are usually tan to gray.

CLASSIFICATION OF THROMBI
*Based on content of pathogenic agent
1. Septic thrombi– contain bacteria
2.Aseptic thrombi– no pathogenic agent present
3.Parasitic thrombi– contains parasites.
125
a common cause of infarction.
embolism
125
If the vessel is a vein, the embolus will probably eventually lodge in the
Pulmonary circulation
125
may be groups of tumor cells, colonies of bacteria or foreign bodies injected into the blood or pieces of a thrombus that have broken off from a primary site.
emboli
126
often produces emboli of pieces of skin or hair.
Venipuncture
127
may cause air embolism and
occlusion of cerebral vessels and has been used in some species as a means of euthanasia.
Injection of air during venipuncture
128
a solid abnormal mass transported from one part of the body to another in the circulatory system
embolus
129
a significant cause of death in human after serious car accidents
Pulmonary and cerebral fat embolism from fractures
129
a generalized failure of peripheral circulation. A clinical term that means peripheral circulatory failure with pooling of the blood in the terminal circulatory bed in small vessels.
Shock
129
The causes of shock may be classified as:
1. septic
2. hypovolemic
3. cardiogenic
4. neurogenic
130
associated with hemorrhage, trauma, loss of fluid in burns and major surgery.
Hypovolemic shock
130
refers to failure of the central pump
Cardiogenic shock
130
usually results from pain or severe emotional upset.
Neurogenic shock
131
implies septicemia
or extreme localized infection, usually with gram-negative organisms (because of endotoxemia from G
endotoxins). The main problem is intravascular coagulation.
Septic shock
132
Lesions indicative of shock
Congestive atelectasis or shock lung
Visceral pooling
Acute renal and tubular necrosis
Sludging
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
133
Leads to consumptive coagulation or Thrombohemorrhagic or hemorrhagic diathesis
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
134
The one that supplies oxygenated blood to the lungs
bronchial artery
135
The one that supplies oxygenated blood to the heart
Coronary artery
136
the one that drains deoxygenated blood from the heart
cardiac veins
137
Dual blood supply of the lung
Pulmonary artery
Bronchial artery
138
Express clinically as sunken eyes and loss of elasticity in the skin. A loss of 5 percent of the body weight as fluid will cause death. This could lead to circulatory failure, hypovolemic shock, and renal failure.
Dehydration
138
A heart attack occurs when one or more coronary arteries get blocked. Over time, a coronary artery can narrow due to the build-up of various substances, including cholesterol (atherosclerosis).
Myocardial infarction
138
Death of a muscle tissue due to a lack of blood flow
Muscle infarction
138
Etiology of embolism
Parasite
Fibrocartilaginous emboli
Fat
Systemic infection
Other like air bubbles, hair, tumour cell clusters or amnionic fluid
139
50% of all human deaths results from
Myocardial or cerebral infarction due to cardiovascular diseases
139
Infarction that are common in domesticated animals
Pulmonary Infarction
Intestinal Infarction
Renal Infarction
140
Severe congestive lesion on lungs found at postmortem indicates shock due to pooling of blood in the respiratory bed
Congestive atelactasis
140
This happens in an animal that die with failing circulation whereby considerable fluid may be present in the intestine, and the fluid contains so many red cells that the fluid looks like blood. This blood may have seeped through by diapedesis.
Visceral pooling
141
Increase blood volume may be detrimental, as in the heart failure. the renal lesion associated with shock arise from excessive vasoconstriction in the initial stages of the sequence, to the point that acute ischemic degeneration and necrosis occurs randomly throughout the kidney.
Acute renal tubular necrosis
142
Refers to the widespread, or at times localized, formation of microthrombi in capillaries, arterioles and venules,. This can arise by a way of intrinsic or extrinsic system or by stasis of flow. Common in acute gram-negative septicemia in animals (such as hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle due to Pasteurella multocida). This may also be caused by antigen-antibody complexes, tissue damage, intravascular hemolysis, systemic hypersensitivity or by extensive diffuse endothelial damage.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
142
this refers to the slowing down of the circulation, settling out of red cells from plasma and increase stickiness of blood. This is very common in shock.
Sludging
143
Ventricular contraction strength related to amount of ventricular myocardial stretch. Maximum contraction force is achieved when myocardial actin, and myosin fibers are stretched about 2–2.5 times the normal resting length
