Carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine
What substances are carried in the pancreatic ducts
Pancreatic enzymes
Which part of the colon is more proximal to the cecum
Ascending
Between a cat, a rat and a pig which species would you expect to have the largest caecum
The rat due to his diet

Thick layer of skeletal muscle and a layer of smooth muscle
What are the distinguishing features of the stomach Cardia
Fingerlike projections
What are the distinguishing features of the duodenum
Branches, tubuloacinar duodenal glands in submucosa. Simple columnar folds
Describe the distinguishing features of the jejunum
Cells in columnar enterocytes the purple circle. Think layer of smooth muscle
Describe the distinguishing features of the ileum
Peyers patches: purple round things. Folds with simple columnar surrounding
Describe the distinguishing features of the colon
Lymphatic nodules, absorptive columnar cells and goblet cells
Describe the distinguishing features of teeth
Pulp, Dentin
What is the function of the omasum
Absorbs the vfa
What is the function of the Rumen
Fermentation vat
Lub (s1) is the sound heard during the blank of the blank valves
Closing of the AV valves. Which follows ventricular systole.
Dub (s2) is the sound heard during the blank of the blank valves
Closing of the semi lunar valves’s. This sound follows ventricular diastole
How do you determine the heart rate
Generally you measure the heart rate for 15 seconds use that value to calculate the number of beats per minute
What is a pulse
Alternating surges of pressure. Arterial expansion then recoil that occurs with each contraction and relaxation of the left ventricle. A pulse can usually be felt on any superficial artery
What Are some arteries you can feel for a pulse
The femoral artery, the dorsal pedal artery, the plantar surface of the foot
What does an electro cardiogram measure
An electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity depolarization and repolarization of the heart during one cardiac cycle.
What is happening during the P-wave
Atrial depolarization
What is happening during the QRS complex
Ventricular depolarization
What is happening during the T-wave
Ventricular repolarization
In lead two placement the RF is what
Negative
In the lead two placement The LH is what
Positive
In the lead two placement The LF is what
Neutral
What is blood pressure and where is it measured
Blood pressure is defined as the pressure blood exerts against the vessels walls. Generally it is measured in the arteries. Because the heart artery alternatively contracts and relaxes the rhythmic flow of blood in the arteries causes blood pressure to rise and fall during each beat thus you can obtain two values systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Both reported in millimeters of mercury with the systolic value appearing first.
What is systolic pressure
Pressure at the peak of ventricular ejection
What is diastolic pressure
Pressure during ventricular relaxation
Does the Doppler blood pressure device measure
The Doppler blood pressure device measures systolic pressure only. A cuff is inflated around an animals distal limb or tail so that the inflated pressure is higher than the systolic pressure. The pressure stops circulation in the limb so that no more sounds are heard. Slowly the cuff is deflated. When the sounds of blood flow return this value is recorded as the systolic pressure
What does and oscillometric device measure
Measures both the systolic and diastolic pressure
How do you determine the proper cuff size for your patient
It should be 40% of the leg width
What does the pulse oximetry machine do
Noninvasive method used to determine O2 saturation in the blood. Uses red and infrared light to measure O2 levels because hemoglobin with different levels of oxygenation will reflect different wavelengths of light. Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more infrared light and allows more red light to pass through
Where is the SA node located
Where the cranial vena cava meets the right atrium
Why do semilunar valves lack cordinae tendinae
Because they don’t have as much force
What action of the heart makes the Lubs sound
Closing of the AV valves
What action of the heart makes the dub sound
Closing of the semilunar valve’s
What is the function of the umbilical arteries
Carry deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta
What are two ways fetal blood can bypass the pulmonary circuit
Through the foreman ovale or the ductus arteriosus
Which vertebrae group lacks a pulmonary circuit
Fish
Why do amphibians have a Pulmocutaneous circuit
They breathe through their skin
What is the advantage to having two ventricles
More efficient due to unmixed blood
What are the distinguishing features of a vein
Endothelium, blood cells. some smooth muscle
What are the distinguishing features of an artery
Lumen, red blood cells, membrane, endothelium. Lots of smooth muscle
What are the distinguishing features of a capillary
Capillaries and purple center. Small lumen
What are The distinguishing features of cardiac muscle
Striated, branched muscle with a single nucleus
