GP 3,4,5 Flashcards
what are four causes of edema
- increased microvascular permeability (leaky vessels)
- increased vascular hydrostatic pressure
- decreased intravascular osmotic pressure
- decreased lymphatic drainage
what type of cell is dominated by acute inflammation
neutrophils
describe effusion
pyothorax
what is a critical growth factor in wound healing and what does it act on
-TGF-beta
-acts on keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, monocytes
describe effusion
chylothorax
von willebrand factor
protein in the blood that helps blood clot, like glue
describe this effusion
serosanguinous
what type of hypersensitivity is most common with atopic forms of allergens and what immunologic component is it associated with?
type I hypersensitivity and IgE
major determinants of thrombosis?
-virchows triad
-specifcally alterations in the endothelium which results in increased production of pro-coagulant substances and decreased production of anti-coagulant substances
what factors is the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade consisted of?
tissue factor (III)
VII
what is secondary hemostasis
coagulation to form a meshwork of fibrin
-tissue factor that initiates extrinsic pathway of coagulation cascade
what is primary hemostasis
transient vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation to form platelet plug at the site of damage
what is an example of diffuse/lepromatous granuloma
Johne’s disease (cattle, sheep, and goats)
-lesion occurring in the ileum and colon
what are the major players of chronic fibrosis when looking histologically
-mononuclear inflammatory cells (macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells)
-fibroblasts
what type of hypersensitivity is most common with auto immune disorders and what immunologic component is it associated with?
type II hypersensitivity
IgG and IgM
pyo pus has neutrophils
:)
what is the most potent inhibitor to inhibit coagulation
antithrombin III
what are the two major causes of non-inflammatory edema and transudate
-hepatic failure, reduce production of albumin (reduce oncotic pressure bc albumin draw in fluid)
-heart failure (increase hydrostatic pressure)
what factor is the last enzyme in the coagulation cascade
thrombin (factor II)
what cytokines play a role in acute inflammation
IL 1, IL 6, TNF
what is the hemostatic process
- primary hemostasis
- secondary hemostasis
- fibrinolysis
- tissue/ vascular repair at damage site
where is albumin produced
liver
what inhibits phospholipases
steroids
fibrinolysis
removes platelet/fibrin plug
-cleavage of plasminogen to plasmin
what blocks cyclooxygenase
NSAIDs
hemostasis
physiological response to vascular damage and stop bleeding to prevent loss
-normal
what is diffuse (lepromatous) granuloma
poorly demarcated
widespread distribution
-non-caseating aggregates of macrophages, variable degree of fibrosis
when an animal has gout due to the lack of what enzyme? and how does the enzyme work
-gout is an accumulation of gout crystals (uric acid) in the joint or viscera
-due to lack of the enzyme uricase (that converts blood uric acid into allantoin which is normally excreted out
what are some examples of nodular (tuberculoid) granuloma
-mycobacterium bovis of mycobacterium tuberculosis
-valley fever
three major anticoagulant-antothrombotic systems on endothelial cells
- protein C-protein S thrombomodulin system
- antithrombin III (prevents coagulation from happening)
- tissue factor pathway inhibitor
