Respiratory System Flashcards
Conducting System
the Nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, larynx, trachea, and bronchi.
What cells line the conducting system?
pseudostratified ciliated epithelium and goblet cells
Transitional system
Consists exclusively of bronchioles
What cells line the transitional system?
Clara cells, non-ciliated secretory cells and only a few ciliated cells. NO goblet cells
Exchange system
Composed of alveolar ducts and milions of alveoli; thin walled structures enveloped by a rich network of capillaries, the pulmonary capillaries
What is the exchange system lined by?
Epithelial type I (membranous) and type II (granular) pneumocytes
What are some non-specific defense mechanisms of the respiratory system?
Mucous trapping
Mucocilliary clearance
Phagocytosis
Air turbulence
What are some specific defense mechanisms?
Antibody production
Antibody mediated phagocytosis
cell-mediated immunity
PAMs
Pulmonary Alveolar Macrophages
PIMs
Pulmonary Intravascular Macrophages
What other causes predispose to bacterial pneumonia?
Stress Dehydration Pulmonary edema Uremia Ammonia Immunosuppression/immunodeficiency
Ehtmoidal hematoma
Pedunculated tumor like lesion in older horses that cause of epistaxis in old horses
What is the cause of fibrinous rhinitis?
Infectious Bovine Rhintraceitis
What causes Atrophic Rhinitis in pigs?
Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida type D and A
What does P. multocida produce to inhibit osteoblastic activity and promote osteoclastic reabsorption of the nasal turbinates?
cytotoxins
What caused rhinitis and conjunctivitis in felines?
Feline Herpesvirus 1
What causes vesicular/ulcerative glossitis and pneumonia in felines?
Feline calicivirus
What causes Granulomatous rhinitis in dogs?
Rhinosporidium seeberi (aquatic protistam parasite)
What causes strangles in equines?
Streptococcus equi
What can be seen in strangles?
Inspissated Exudate - “Chondroids”
What causes Guttural Pouch Mycosis?
Aspergillus fumigatus
What happens in Guttural Pouch Mycosis?
Erosion of the wall of the internal carotid artery leading to epistaxis or fatal hemorrhage
What causes Enzootic nasal carcinoma in sheep?
Ovine beta-retrovirus
What causes necrotic laryngitis (Calf Diptheria)?
Fusobacterium necrophorum
IBR
What does Fusobacterium necrophorum or IBR cause?
Oral necrobacillosis
Plaques of ulceration covered by fibrinonecrotic exudate
What is causes “roaring” or Laryngeal hemiplagia in horses?
atrophy of the left dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle
What is tracheal collapse seen in?
Toy breed dogs
Horses
Cattle
Goats
What causes Ulcerative and necrotizing laryngo-tracheitis in cattle?
IBR
What causes Canine Infectious tracheobronchitis?
Bordetella bronchiseptica Canine Adenovirus 2 CPIV-2 Canine Distemper virus Mycoplasma spp.
What composed the Blood-Air-Barrier?
Vascular endothelium basement membrane of the endothelial cell, basement membrane of the type I pneumocyte, and cytoplasm of the type I pneumocyte
What occurs in Exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage?
Massive Hemorrhage in the dorso-caudal portions of the caudal lung lobes
What is common in cattle with vena cava thrombosis?
Epistaxis
Pulmonary hemorrhage
