Hemodynamic Disorders 3

Question 1

Anasarca

Answer 1

Generalized, severe, infiltration of edema fluid into the subcutaneous connective tissue

Question 2

Anoxia

Answer 2

Absence or almost complete absence of O2 in inspired gases, arterial blood or tissue

Question 3

Bloat Line

Answer 3

congestion of the cranial half of the esophagus at the level of the thoraic inlet with associated congestion of the head

Question 4

Congestion

Answer 4

Engorgement of the vascular (capillary) bed caused by impeded venous outflow

Question 5

Cyanosis

Answer 5

Dark blue or purple discoloration of skin and mucous membrane due o deficient oxygenation of the blood

Question 6

Dehydration

Answer 6

reduction of water content

Question 7

Dependent Edema

Answer 7

clinically detectable increase in extracellular fluid volume localized in a dependent area (eg.brisket) characterized by swelling or pitting

Question 8

Effusion

Answer 8

the escape of fluid from the blood vessels or lymphatics into the tissues or a cavity, could be inflammatory and non-inflammatory

Question 9

Exudate

Answer 9

any fluid that has leaked out of a tissue or its capillaries

Question 10

Hydropericardium

Answer 10

usually non-inflammatory accumulation of fluid in pericardial sac, synonymous with pericardial effusion

Question 11

Hydrothorax

Answer 11

usually non-inflammatory fluid in the pleural cavity

Question 12

Hyperemia

Answer 12

an engorgement of the vascular (capillary) bed caused by increased arteriolar blood flow into the area/organ

Question 13

Hypostatic congestion

Answer 13

congestion due to pooling of venous blood in a dependent tissue

Question 14

Hypoxia

Answer 14

decrease below normal levels of O2 in inspired gases, arterial blood, or tissu

Question 15

Interstitial

Answer 15

Means pertaining to or situated between parts or in the interspaces of tissue

Question 16

Interstitium

Answer 16

another term for interstitial tissue

Question 17

Ischemia

Answer 17

local absence of blood due to obstruction of the blood supply or local stagnation/congestion of blood causing ischemic damage due to decreased drainage of blood

Question 18

Lymphedema

Answer 18

Edema as a result of obstruction of lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes and the accumulation of large amounts of lymph in the affected region

Question 19

Transudate

Answer 19

any fluid that has passed through a presumably normal membrane, such as the capillary wall, as a result of imbalanced hydrostatic and osmotic forces; characteristically low in protein unless there has been secondary concentration.
