T/F: The exocrine pancreas, like the liver has a large functional reserve.

A

True

23
Q

What dis?

A

Gallbladder Stones - Choleliths

24
Q

Condition

A

Metastatic Melanoma of the Pancreas

25
Q

Pancreatic neoplasm that originates from the pancreatic acini and/or ducts and is characterized histologically by thick fibrous connective tissue capsule.

A

Pancreatic Adenoma

26
Q

Possible differential diagnosis for hemorrhagic cholecystitis

A

Salmonellosis (Cattle)

Arsenic Toxicosis

27
Q

Condition

A

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

28
Q

Pancreatic condition due to defect in acinar tissue - the islet cell tissue may be quantitatively and qualitatively normal.

A

Pancreatic Hyplasia

Called Pancreatic Atrophy in canines

29
Q

Condition

A

Pancreatic Adenoma

30
Q

What dis?

A

Gallbladder carcinoma

31
Q

Condition

A

Chronic Pancreatitis

32
Q

Gross appearance of what pancreatic condition - focal areas of grey-white discoloration due to coagulative necrosis, admixed with black areas of hemorrhage and chalky white ares of fat necrosis.

A

Acute Pancreatitis

33
Q

Incidental finding of the pancreas of old dogs, cats and cattle. Characterized histologically as having cells of uniform size and shape, non-encapsulated and do not compress the surrounding parenchyma.

A

Pancreatic Nodular Hyperplasia

34
Q

Pancreatic neoplasm that is typically spherical and circumscribed, involvement of the bile ducts will cause jaundice and invasion of the duodenum.

A

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

35
Q

Pancreatic calculi consist of

A

Calcium carbonate and Calcium Phosphate

36
Q

Possible differential diagnosis for fibrinous cholecystitis

A

Acute Salmonellosis

Yersiniosis

37
Q

Choleliths are composed of?

A

Cholesterol

Bile pigments

Salts of bile acids

Calcium salts

Proteinaceious matrix

38
Q

Condition of the gallbladder that causes cystic proliferation of the mucous producing glads seen in old dogs and may be associated wtih mucocele.

A

Gallbladder Hyperplasia

39
Q

Histologic appearance of what pancreatic condition - necrosis of parenchyma, interlobular stroma edema and contains fibrin, hemorrhage and inflammatory cells.

A

Acute Pancreatitis

40
Q

Main function of the exocrine pancreas

A

Production and secretion of enzymes

41
Q

What dis?

A

Biliary Obstruction

42
Q

Condition

A

Pancreatic Nodular Hyperplasia

43
Q

Starvation and obstruction of the pancreatic ducts can cause what pancreatic change?

A

Pancreatic Degeneration

44
Q

T/F: The exocrine pancreas, like the liver has a great capacity for regeneration.

A

False

45
Q

Bile consists of

A

Water

Cholesterol

Bile Acids

Bilirubin

Inorganic Ions

46
Q

What dis?

A

Gallbladder Edema

47
Q

What dis?

A

Gallbladder Mucosal Hyperplasia

48
Q

Pathogenesis of Acute Pancreatitis

A
  1. Inappropriate in situ activation of pancreatic digestive pro-enzymes
  2. Consequent autodigestion of pancreatic tissue and peri-pancreatic adipose tissue followed by inflammation
49
Q

Incidental finding of the pancreas causes small nodules embedded in the submucosa of the stomach, intestine, gallbladder and in the parenchyma of the liver, spleen and in the mesentery due to dislocation of portions of the duodenal buds during embryonic development.

A

Q

What dis?

A

Gallbladder mucosal hyperplasia
