Q

Sloan et al. High Doses of Ketamine-Xylazine Anesthesia Reduce Cardiac Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Guinea Pigs1. Why are volatile gas anesthetics contra-indicated for ischemia-reperfusion studies?

A

Volatile anesthestics can protect tissues from ischemia reperfusion injury

19
Q

Analgesic Effects of Meloxicam, Morphine Sulfate, Flunixin Meglumine, and Xylazine Hydrochloride in African-Clawed FrogsFor the acetic acid test, what substance provided the most increase in nocioceptive threshold in Xenopus laevis

A

Flunixin meglumine at 25 mg/kg

20
Q

The AAT and Hargreaves tests both measure response to what type of stimuli?

 	a. Visceral pain
 	b. Cutaneous stimulation of afferent fibers
A

b. Cutaneous stimulation of afferent fibers

21
Q

Describe the Hargreaves apparatus.

A

The Hargreaves apparatus is used to measure thermal nociceptive threshold. It consists of a glass chamber though which a radiant heat source is focused on an area. In this case, frogs were placed in the chamber, and an infrared intensity was focused on the inner thigh. The time from activation of the thermal stimulus to withdrawal response was recorded as the thermal nociceptive threshold

22
Q

a. Metabolism
b. Intestinal microbiology
c. Immunity
d. All of the above

A

d. All of the above

Q

What portion of the small intestine in swine contains continuous Peyer patches?

a. Ileum
b. Jejunum
c. Duodenum
d. b and c

A

a. ileum

25
Q

What is the normal gestation of a pig?

a. 90-91 days
b. 110-111 days
c. 114-115 days
d. 120-122 days

A
