GI system → oropharynx, esophagus, oral neoplsia (test 1) Flashcards
what are the 5 stages of deglutition?
- Oral stage
- Pharyngeal stage
- Cricopharyngeal stage
- Esophageal stage
- Gastroesophageal stage
what are some signs of dysfunction inf the Oral stage of deglutition?
- dysphagia
- salivation
- retching
- regurgitation
- inappetence
- halitosis
- weight loss
- ptyalism (drooling, salivation)
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this color tell us? Yellow
Jaundice
discoloration of tissue due to bilirubin
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this color tell us? Pale (Pallor)
Anemia
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this color tell us? Blue
Cyanosis
deoxyhemoglobin (e.g. R to L cardiac shunts; anoxia)
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this color tell us? Bright red
Carbon monoxide intoxication
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this tell us? Prolonged CRT
hypoperfusion (shock)
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this tell us? Ulceration
- phenylbutazone in horses some
- viral diseases (e.g. Bovine Viral Diarrhea, Calicivirus in cats)
- renal failure / uremic stomatitis
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this tell us? Petechiae
Thrombocytopenia and/or vasculitis
The oral mucosa can be an indicator of systemic Dz, what does this tell us? Moisture or lack there of
Hydration status (dehydration)
What makes up the oral stage of deglutition? and what CN are utilized
Food is prehended, masticatd and formed into a bolus
- CN V (trigeminal)
- VII (Facial), XII (hypoglossal)
What is involved in the pharyngeal stage of deglutition, and what CN are utilized
Involuntary, initiated when bolus is propelled into pharynx by the base of tongue (larynx and internal nares sealed)
- CN IX (glossopharyngeal)
- X (Vagus)
what is palatoschisis?
Cleft palate
what is cheiloschisis
Cleft lip
what is heterotopic polyodontia? and give an example
extra tooth outside the dental arcades
- “ear teeth” in horses, the tooth cyst usually found in parotid area which my fistulate to the exterior
what is brachygnathism
mandible is shorter then the maxilla (collies and dachshunds)
what is prognathism
mandible is longer then maxilla (pekingese and other brachycephalic breeds)
what are some of the consequences of malocclusions?
{a} traumatize soft tissues of the oral cavity
{b} cause abnormal wear and accelerated tooth attrition
{c} contribute to and accelerate periodontal disease
Anomalies of tooth wear = …….
Degenerative Conditions
define stomatitis
Inflammation of the mouth (i.e. of oral mucous membranes)
define glossitis
inflammation of the tongue
define gingivitis
inflammation of the gums (gingiva)
define cheilitis
inflammation of the lips
define vesicle
blister - fluid filled raised area
define bulla
fluid filled raised area >5 mm (large blister)
define erosion
discontinuity of the mucosa, exhibiting incomplete loss of the epithelium
define ulcer
discontinuity of the mucosa with complete loss of epithelium, often excavative extending deep into the submucosa and possibly muscularis
what is dental plaque
= accumulated bacterial mass that becomes adherent to tooth surfaces
also includes
- food particles
- exfoliated cells
- saliva & mucus
what is dental calculus?
can be called “tartar” = mineralization of plaque an indicator of serious plaque build-up
what is periodontal Dz
peridontitis = bacterial plaque and calculus leading to
- progressive destruction of gingiva and supporting adjacent tissue
what is a common outcome of chronic inflammation of the gingiva
Gingival hyperplasia
what are dental caries?
Decay…
bacterial induced decalcification of the inorganic portions of the tooth, accompanied or followed by dissolution of the organic components this may account for 20% of the tooth loss among cats and 10% among dogs
Actinobacillus Lingnieresii the causative agent in “wooden tongue”, is an example of…….
Bacterial stomatitis
what is the pathogenesis of Bacterial stomatitis
Pathogenesis
- deep glossitis / stomatitis → normal oral flora →begins with traumatic lesions in mouth (feed?) →organisms access submucosa and deep soft tissue →pyogranulomatous host inflammatory response →“sulfur granules” and fibrosis
