MCQ Flashcards
What are nocioceptors?
It is a receptor of a sensory neuron (nerve cell). Pain reception “ sensation
is based on receptor function of nociceptive free nerve endings
What are proprioceptors?
Receptor is found in the same organ (muscle) as the effector (muscle). It is maintaining
muscular tone. Definition: detection of changes in body posture. Function: information about
the posture and gait
What are exteroceptive reflex?
Receptor is found in an organ (skin) different from that of the effector (muscle)
What is hyperaglasia
Is an increased sensitivity to pain, which may be caused by damage to nocioceptors or peripheral nerves
Mysathenia gravis
Is an autoimmune disease or congenital neuromuscular disease, which results from antibodies
that block nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the junction between nerve and muscle. This
prevents nerve impulses from triggering muscle contraction “ muscle weakness.
If craniocervical part of spine damaged, what happens?
No UMN to front - and hind limb (Tetra paresis)
Respiratory failure
Decreased proprioception
Thoracolumbar part of spine damaged:
No LMN to hind limb
Front limb: normal
Caudocervical part of spine damaged:
Front limb: LMN
Hind limb: UMN
Lumbosacral part of spine damaged:
Front limb: normal
Hind limb: LMN
Altered function in LMN results in:
- Hyporeflexy
- Hypo-/atonia of muscles
- Flaccid paresis
Greek meaning of ‘‘apoptosis’’
“Falling off” “ programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms
Released in acute stress
Catecholamine’s (Epinephrine (adrenalin), Norepinephrine)
Released in chronic stress
Glucocorticoids

Is a group of soluble proteins that combine with and transport fat or other lipids in the blood
plasma. HDL, LDL, VLDL, IDL
Non-regenerative anaemia can be cause by:
Bracken fern toxicosis (pteridium aquilinum)
What can be the causes of haemolysis:
Babesia, is a protozoan parasite that infects red blood cells causing a disease known as
babesiosis
Cheyne-Stokes breathing:
Gradual increase of breathing, followed by a gradual decrease in breathing, and then followed
by a period of apnea
Hypothermia means:
Occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low
body temperature and organ malfunction
In cholestasis:
Increase of GGT and ALKP
Altered function in UMN will result in:
- Hyperreflexy
- Spastic paresis
- Rigidity
CRT acts on the:
Pituitary gland

Which is most severe dehydration?
Hypertonic (total global dehydration)
Inflammation haemodynamic:
Vessel permeability increase
Ion involved in arrhythmias:

Increase acid
Increase anion gap
Hypochloraemia is caused by:
Vomiting, abdominal displacement, diarrhoea and sweating in horses
DIC is:
Not primary condition
Left Displacement Abomasum / Right Displacement Abomasum is most common:
LDA most common without torsion
RDA is most severe, most often with torsion
Ethylene glycol toxicosis:
Metabolites damage the kidney
Oncotic pressure decrease:
Less fluid taken back into the blood= filtration increases
Dalmatians
Has no uricase enzyme, uric acid excretion decrease. Gout can occur
What is gout?
A form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by recurrent attacks of red, tender, hot and swollen joint
Rhabdomyolysis
Breakdown of striated muscles (low O2, free radicals, electrolyte imbalance, infection)
Spinal injury location:
Narrowed down to 1 and 4 sections
Which cranial nerve affects mastication in dog?

Which cranial nerve affects the mastication of horses?
7th nerve, facial nerve
Which cranial nerve affects mastication of ruminants?
12th nerve, Hypoglossal nerve

What is osteomalacia?
Softening of bones, typically due to deficiency of vitamin D or calcium
