What system of the respiratory system is made of only bronchioles, lined by Clara cells
Transitional system
What system of the respiratory tracts is made of alveoli and pulmonary capillaries?

Mannheimia haemolytica
T/F: bordetella brochispetica can be found as a normal commenal of the lower respiratory tract
False
Lower respiratory tract is considered sterile (no normal flora there)
This can be found as a normal flora of the upper resp tract
Are the the non-immune mediated defense mechanisms of the respiratory tract?
Mucous trapping
Mucociliary
Phagocytosis
Air turbulence (coughing or sneezing)
What species are intravasular macrophages found in?

Cat
Pig
Horse
In dogs, rodents, and humans, what cells are responsible form removing circulating bacteria or particles?
Kupffer cells (liver) or splenic macrophages
What is commonly the cause of epistaxis in old horses?
Ethmoidal hematoma
Other causes:
Trauma
Exercised induces
Mycotic infection of the guttural pouch
A fibrinous rhinitis and formation of a diptheritic membrane in a calf is due to ???
Infectious bovine rhiotracheitis (bovine herpesvirus 1)
What parasite of sheep can be found in the nasal cavity of sheep, sometimes penetrating the into the sinuses or brain cavity?
Oestrus ovis (nasal bot)
Commonly see mucous/catarrhal rhinitis
Neurological disease
PM of pig
Atrophy of nasal turbinates and deviated nasal septum
Disease name and etiology?
Atopic rhinitis
Bordetella brochispetica > toxin against osteoblasts
Pasteurella multocidia > toxin against osteoclast
What is the etiology of inclusion body rhinitis?
Porcine cytomegalovirus (suid herpesvirus 2)
What are two viruses of cats causing rhinotracheitis ?
Feline herpesvirus 1 Feline calicivirus (usually with vesicles/ulcers on tongue)
Feline calicivirus can cause what conditions ?
Conjunctivitis
Rhinotracheitis
Ulcerative/vesicular stomatitis
Diffuse interstitial pneumonia
What fungal organisms of dogs can produce a granulomatous rhinitis in the nasal mucosa?
Rhinosporidium seeberi
What do you call trapped air in the guttural pouch?
Guttural pouch tympany - usually due to a malformation of the distal end of the Eustachian tube
Horse with .. enlarged guttural pouch and lymph nodes, along with supperative exudate from lesions along the jaw lien
Strangles - streptococcus equi
What nerves and arteries are we concerned about in Stranges?
Internal carotid artery > erosion of the artery wall can lead to epistaxis or fatal hemorrhage
CN IV, IX, X, XI, and XII
What is often the etiologic agent of guttural pouch mycosis ?
Aspergillus
What stains are used to visualize fungal infections?
PAS (periodic acid shiff)
GMS (Gomori’s methenamine silver)
Enzootic nasal carcinoma is found in what species and is caused by what?
Sheep
Ovine beta-retrovirus (enzootic nasal tumor virus)
What is the most likely etiology of calf diphtheria ?
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (bovine herpesvirus 1)
Followed by secondary infection of fusobacterium necrophorum
Horse
Roaring sound???
Neuropathy of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve -> atrophy of the dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle
What is the cause of tracheal collapse?
Who is this mainly seen in?
Widening of the cartilaginous rings causes flattening of the dorsal ligament of the trachea
Miniature/toy dog breeds
Occasionally horse, cattle, and goat
Etiology of fibronecrtozing laryngotracheitis in cattle?
infectous bovine rhinotracheitis
What lesions can be seen in a systemic herpesvirus infection in a claf?

What is the primary pathogen of kennel cough?
Bordetella brochispetica
Horse
Head and neck are extended
Nasal flaring
Mucous nasal discharge

Recurrent airway obstruction
Clinical signs caused by resistance to airflow/ diffuse bronchoconstriction
Mucous in the airway (bronchioles) of a horse is called ________ ,and in a feline is __________
Recurrent airway obstruction
Feline asthma/feline allergic bronchitis/ hyperactive airway disease
The blood air barrier is composed of?
Vascular endothelium
BM of endothelial cells
BM of type I pneumocytes and its cytoplasm
Hemorrhage in the dorsal caudal portion of the caudal lungs lobes of a race horse
Most likely exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage
Elevation in arterial and capillary pressures during strenuous exercise
What is the sequel of bacterial infection leading to pulmonary thromboembolism ?
Bacteria in the circulation (eg originating from ruminal epithelium in the case of ruminal acidosis) -> hepatic abscessation -> vena cava thrombosis -> emboli travel to heart and lung causing valvular endocarditis and pulmonary thromboembolism
What are the main pathogenic mechanism leading to pulmonary edema?
- Increased hydrostatic pressure (cardiogenic edema)
- Increased vascular permeability (injury to blood air barrier)
- Obstruction to lymphatic drainage. Eg neoplasm of thoracic lymph nodes or vessels
What is pulmonary anthracosis?
Carbon deposits int he lungs usually around brochioles
Pinpoint black discoloration
