Q

What has happened here?

A
  • Strongiles have blocked the cranial mesenteric artery, damaging endothelium and causing a thrombus
  • Dilated space in the arterial lumen
  • Cavitated regions within the vessel, if you were to pull away the thrombus
  • There’s new arterioles, or neovascularization that’s occurred along the mesenteric artery because the body is trying to establish collateral vascularization

Q

A 13 year old quarter horse mare died after a bout of extreme colic. A necropsy was performed and among other changes was the lesion shown in the slide. The slide depicts the opened abdominal aorta and its branches at the cranial mesenteric artery. Using terminology you have just learned answer, the following questions

  1. The substance in the lumen of the cranial mesenteric artery is composed predominantly of fibrin. What do you term the process that resulted in the deposition of the fibrin?
  2. A piece of the above structure broke off and traveled down the smaller colic artery to a point where it lodged. What is this process termed?
A
  1. thrombosis leading to a thrombus
  2. thromboembolism

Q

Lung: suppurative bronchopneumonia, cranioventral, acute, severe;

  • What is this telling you?
A
  • Tells us that’s there’s a neutrophillic exudate in the airways and probably spilling over into the alveolar spaces.
  • It’s in the cranioventral location, which is where many inhaled forms of pneumonia will occur, because things will come in to the lungs and then fall ventrally

26
Q

What are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation

A
  1. heat (rubor)
  2. redness (calor)
  3. swelling (tumor)
  4. pain (dolor)
  5. loss of function (functio laesa)
27
Q
  1. How does redness happen in inflammation?
  2. heat?
A
  1. redness- active hyperemia= Dilated blood vessels, dense concentration of blood vessels in an area that you would have had otherwise
  2. heat- vasodilation= Increased circulation, will increase the regional temperature of the site of inflammation
28
Q
  1. How do you get swelling in inflammation
  2. what can that lead to?
A
  1. increased fluid
    • increased cells
    • increased vascular permeability
  2. can lead to pain
29
Q

give an example how loss of function can happen through swelling

A

Limb that’s too swollen to bend, or too painful to use

30
Q
  1. What cell can release histamine?
  2. When histamine is released near endothelial cells what happens?
  3. Where would it have the most effect? arteriole, capillary or venule
A
  1. mast cells, eosinophils, basophils
  2. increased vascular permeability
    • Endothelial cell contractions, so a wider gap at the endothelial junctions
    • Also provides chemotaxis for neutrophils
  3. capillary
31
Q

When histamine increases the gaps between endothelial cells what can leak out of a capillary?

A
  • WBCs
  • RBCs
  • Fibrin
  • platlets
32
Q

What 3 things are found in connective tissue matrix that are important to inflammation

A
  1. elastic fibers
  2. collagen fibers
  3. proteoglycans
33
Q

What 3 cells are found in connective tissue

A
  1. mast cell
  2. fibroblast
  3. macrophage
34
Q

inflammation can only take place when…

A
  • vascularized, living tissue to injury.
    • area that’s fully necrotic? Will be hard for inflammation to take place because it is not vascularized
    • Animal is dead? No inflammation will take place.
35
Q

what are 3 purposes of inflammation

A
  1. Destroy an invader
  2. Dilute an invader
  3. Wall off an invader
36
Q

What are 3 examples of inflammation and repair being harmful

A
  1. Abscesses leading to loss of function
  2. Chronic arthritis leading to joint degeneration and failure
  3. Alveolar spaces filled with fibrin and pmns leading to tissue destruction
37
Q

During acute inflammation, what 3 forces or factors promote the accumulation of fluid exudate in the interstitium?

A
  1. increased hydrostatic pressure
    • perhaps if this is a systemic infection, the animal’s in some level of pain, there may be increase blood pressure
  2. increased vascular permeability
    • due to various mediators at play
  3. increased interstitial oncotic pressure
    • Proteins are exuding from the vascular space, will increase your oncotic pressure outside of the blood vessel
38
Q

if all these forces or factors are happening during inflammation what will that lead to the blood that is left in the circulatory system?

A
  • increased viscosity (sludging) leading to possible thrombosis
    • All of this means that as you’re having fluid leave a space, the fluid that is left is going to be somewhat concentrated and this is going to promote viscosity, or sludging, in that spot
    • Any time you have stasis of blood, then you have the potential to form thrombi
