LESSON 1: CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Flashcards
aorta shunts remains open, shunting occurs from L to R.
Patent ductus arteriosus
failure of ductus arteriousus to close by 3 weeks; normaly it forms what?
ligamentous arteriosum
PDA or patent ductus a. is most common or inherited among what kind of breed?
Poodles, collies, pomeranians
a distinctive lesion common affecting L. atrium associated with acute renal insufficiency in dogs
ulcerative endocarditis
affects myocrardial cells associated with obesity& abundant epicardial fat deposits.
Fatty infiltration
fatty change; accumulatiom of abundant lipid droplets in muscle sarcoplasm; lipofuscinosis w/ cachexia.
Fatty degeneration
is the term for progressive weakening of cardiac muscle.
cardiomyopathy
fatty degeneration is a hereditary lesions in what breeds of cattle?
ayreshire cattle
accumulation of clear to light yellow, watery, serous fluid in the pericardial sac which become distended.
Hydropericardium
accumulation of whole blood in the pericardial sac. Death suddenly follows - cardiac tamponade.
Hemopericardium
the most common; often hematogenous; the bread & butter” heart. with fibrous adhesion
Fibrinous pericarditis
common in cattle; due to traumatic reticuloperitonitis (hardware disease)
suppurative pericarditis
extensive fibrous proliferation & formation of fibrous adhesions across the pericardial space.
constrictive pericarditis
alocalized dilation or outpouching of a thinned & weakened portion of a blood vessel.
aneurysms
list of some causes of aneurysm:
- copper def.
- Spirocerca lupi
- some idiopathic origins
this type of aneurysm is rare, and is seen in birds with & result from intimal disruption.
dissecting aneurysm
this result from sustained increase in pressure or volume overload. It affects muscular arteries.
Arterial hypertrophy
this define as hardening of the arteries; age related frequent animal species.
arteriosclerosis
the accumulation of extensive deposits of lipid, fibrous tissue & calcium in vessel walls. It’s a vascular disease of great importance to humans. Observed in aged dogs w/ hyperthyroidism.
atherosclerosis
atherosclerosis is a vascular disease of greatest importance in humans, it is also observed in age animals w/ hypothyroidism, what are these?
- swine 2. birds 3. dogs
clots & foreign bodies that lodge vessel walls cause significant lesions.
Thrombosis & embolism
what is the term for the inflammation of veins?
phlebitis
specifically refers to inflammation of the veins around the umbilicus (belly button)
Omphalophlebitis
in this disorder affected animals have prominent subcutaneous edema, due to lymph drainage interference.
Hereditary lymphedema
inflammation of lymph vessels; located on vessels of distal limbs
lymphangitis
