24
What are the 2 holes in the hard palate called? | What lies within them?
Palatine fissures | Vomeronasal organ
25
What is the chief function of the: Dorsal meatus Middle meatus Ventral meatus
Dorsal=olfaction (leads to caudal dorsal nasal cavity) Middle=communicates with maxillary sinus Ventral=main route of inspired air to lungs
26
What runs through the cribriform plate?
Branches of the olfactory nerve
27
What is a sinus?
An air-filled diverticulum of the nasal cavity
28
Does the frontal sinus communicate with any other cavity in the carnivore? Where is the opening?
Yes-directly with the nasal cavity | Between the ethmoturbinate bones at the caudal end of the nasal cavity
29
If an adult animal is dehorned, water vapour can sometimes be seen escaping from the horn stump when breathing, why?
Frontal sinus is continuous with nasal cavity
30
What part of the brain needs destroying to cause rapid death?
Medulla oblongata
31
What nerves innervate the lining of the frontal sinus?
Opthalmic branch of trigeminal
32
Which teeth would the rostral maxillary sinus give access to in the horse?
Cheek teeth 4 and 5
33
Name 2 features of the maxillary sinus that make it prone to infection
Frontal sinus drains into it | Close association with upper cheek teeth, so tooth root infection can break through alveolar bone into maxillary sinus
34
What structure passes through the infraorbital canal (bony tube within the maxilla)? Where does it exit?
``` Infraorbital nerve (branch of maxillary trigeminal) Infraorbital foramen ```
35
Why might you open up a trephine hole in a horse?
Drain infection of sinus | Remove broken/infected tooth
36
Which bones are shortened in a brachycephalic skull?
Frontal, maxilla, palatine, nasal, incisive
37
Why could pressure on the muzzle of a brachycephalic dog be dangerous?
Could occlude nasal airway as extra soft tissue and lack of bony support would block nostrils. If mouth is held shut, dog can't breathe
38
What epithelium is present on the soft palate: Respiratory surface Oral surface
Respiratory=Pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium with goblet cells Oral=stratified squamous epithelium with rete pegs for anchorage
39
What word means variation in colour of red blood cells?
Polychromasia
40
What word means variation in size of red blood cells?
Anisocytosis
41
What word means variation in shape of red blood cells?
Poikilocytosis
42
Taste buds contain which kind of glands?
Serous
43
In terms of anaesthesia, why is an inhalational agent safer than an intravenous agent?
Intravenous agents require metabolism (usually by liver) to deactivate the agent and allow the animal to regain consciousness whereas with an inhalational agent, just by stopping delivery of the inhalational agent allows the animal to regain consciousness
44
What does inhalational anaesthetic consist of?
An appropriate controlled level of inhalational agent mixed with oxygen
45
What are the 5 principal components of an anaesthetic machine?
1. Fresh gas supply (oxygen) 2. Flow meter with bypass valve (to deliver fresh oxygen without inhalational agent direct to the patient in case of emergency) 3. A vaporiser (mixes an appropriate controlled level of inhalational agent with oxygen to maintain general anaesthesia) 4. A breathing circuit with a pressure relief valve (interface between patient and anaesthetic machine) 5. A scavenging system to remove exhaled gases away from the vet’s environment
46
What are the 2 types of breathing circuits?
Re-breathing (patient re-breathes expired gas, contains higher levels of CO2 which must be extracted before patient rebreathes expired gas. Economical but high resistance, therefore only suitable for patients over 25kg) Non re-breathing (expired gas is flushed out of circuit uneconomical but low resistance, therefore suitable for patients under 25kg)
47
What removes CO2 from expired gas so that it's safe to be re-breathed?
Soda lime cannister
48
Parallel lack is a modification of which non rebreathing circuit?
Mapleson A
49
What are the 2 non-rebreathing circuit modifications and which mapleson circuits are they modifications of?
``` Parallel lack (Mapleson A-2 parallel tubes) Co-axial Bain (Mapleson D-fresh gas tube is within expired gas tube) ```
50
What is minute volume? (Anaesthetic equipment) What is a good approximation of this?
Volume of gas expired per minute | 200mls/kg/min
51
By how many times must flow rate exceed minute volume? | Mapleson A, D and F
Mapleson A: 1 x minute volume Mapleson D: 2 to 2.5 x minute volume Mapleson F: 2.5 to 3 x minute volume
52
What is a consequence of having a flow rate that's too high?
Wasteful-fresh gas is wasted
53
What is a consequence of having a flow rate that's slightly low?
There is some dead space gas, but this is acceptable
54
What is a consequence of having a flow rate that's too low?
Alveolar gas is not flushed out, it is dangerous to breathe this back in
55
How do ventral turbinates differ in horses and dogs?
Bottom scroll is missing in horse | In the dog, there are extra scrolls on the main scroll
56
What are the 4 attachments of the ovaries?
Ovarian ligament-attaches ovary to lateral body wall at caudal pole of kidney. Contains ovarian artery and vein so must be ligated in spay Mesosalpinx-attaches ovary to uterine tube (part of broad ligament) Suspensory ligament-attaches ovary to lateral body wall at caudal pole of kidney, must be broken in bitch spay to expose the ovary Proper ligament of ovary-attaches ovary to cranial end of uterine horn
57
How does the uterus attach to the lateral body wall?
Broad ligament (mesometrium)
58
Which muscles form the pelvic diaphragm?
``` Levator ani Coccygeus Rectococcygeus Internal and external anal sphincters Internal obturator ```
59
What supplies blood to the penis?
Internal pudendal artery
60
What are the muscles of the penis?
Retractor penis muscle Ischiocavernosus muscle Bulbospongiosus muscle
