Q

what are the structures that lymph flows as it enters and then leaves a lymph node

A
  • The subcapsular sinus drains to the trabecular sinuses
  • The trabecular sinuses empty into the medullary
    sinuses
  • The lymph flows out of the medullary sinuses via the
    efferent lymph vessels
  • The concave side of the lymph node is called the hilus

  • Pacinian corpuscles detect pressure, vibrations
    o Lamellated
    o Rapidly adapting
  • Ruffini corpuscles
    o Slowly adapting
    o Stretch (4)
  • Free nerve endings sense pain, heat and cold, as well as touch (1)
    o Rapidly adapting
29
Q

what are the three parts of a hair (cross section).

A
  • Outer cuticle:
    o single layer of flat keratinized cells
  • Cortex:

  • Medulla:
    o central region of the shaft, cuboidal or flat cells
30
Q

what is the difference between wool and hair

A
  • Wool (compound follicle):
    o several hairs emerge from a single opening
    o Found in dog, cat, sheep (wool growing areas)
    o Consists of a long principal (guard) hair and a number of smaller (wool) hairs, little medulla
  • Hair ((Single (simple) follicle)):
    o one hair emerges from a single opening
    o Found in horse, cattle, pig and sheep
31
Q

How many teats are on each quarter (normally)?

A

36
Q

difference between hypsodont and brachydont teeth. Know which animals have which?

A

Brachydont teeth: (low-crowned)
- the simple teeth of man, carnivores, pig, ruminant incisors and horse deciduous incisors.
- They consist of a crown, neck, and root.

Hypsodont teeth:
- the teeth having no distinct neck, as seen in all permanent horse teeth, the ruminant cheek teeth, and the tusks of pigs.
- Apart from the horse’s canine teeth, they continue to erupt throughout life.

37
Q

three substances that compose teeth, and their location in brachydont teeth and hypsodont teeth

A
  • Cementum: a thin, bone-like covering
    o Low-crowned (brachydont) teeth:
     the cementum covers the root only.
    o High-crowned (hypsodont) teeth:
     covers the entire tooth, superficial to the
    enamel
  • Enamel: the hardest substance in the body
    o Densely calcified tissue; acellualar
    o Low-crowned (brachydont) teeth:
     the enamel covers only the crown.
    o High-crowned (hypsodont) teeth:
     enamel envelops the body (crown & body), but
    not the root.
  • Dentin:
    o a hard substance similar to bone forming the bulk of the tooth and surrounding the pulp cavity.
    o Calcified, yet collagen-rich
38
Q

different types of teeth (e.g. incisor, etc.)

A
  • Incisors
  • Canines
  • Premolars
  • molars
39

A
40
Q

when Galvayne’s groove first appears in the equine mouth?

A

Galvayne’s groove appears around age 10yrs old in the equine mouth

41
Q

Memorize the dental formula of the dog and horse (permanent) and dog (deciduous)

A

dental formula (HORSE):
permanent- 2(I 3/3 C 1(0)/1(0) P 3(4)/3 M) = 36-42

dental formula (DOG):
deciduous- 2(I 3/3 C 1/1 P 3/3)= 28

42
Q

Arrector pili

A

external groove separating the two halves of the udder

46
Q

Streak canal

A

“Teat canal”
