Respiratory System Flashcards
The nostrils, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi are all apart of what system?
Conductive
Where does gas exchange happen?
In the alveoli
Where does detoxification happen
In the bronchioles-the goblet cells replaced by clara cells, detox foreign substances.
Where is the transitional system?
Bronchioles
Which system has cilia?
Conductive
Put these in order:
Lobule, acinus, interlobular septum
smallest
acinar
lobule
in between lobules are the interlobular septa
What do pneumocyte 2 produce?
Surfactant
What are the phases of aerogenous route?
Deposition
Clearance
Retention
What is the process by which deposited particles are destroyed, neutralized or removed from the mucosal surfaces
Clearance
What are the main mechanisms involved in clearance
Sneezing
Coughing
Reflex broncho-
constriction
Muco-ciliary effect
Phagocytosis by pulmonary alveolar macs
BALT helped by M cells
What is the difference between what is deposited and what is cleared from the respiratory tract
Retention
What is deposition?
Particles of various sizes/shapes trapped in the mucosal surface of the respiratory tract
What are the bacteria that are resistant to killing by the macs, and why?
Mycobacterium
Rhodococcus
Listeria
these reproduce IN the macs
What is the defense mechanism against blood borne agents?
Pulmonary intravascular macrophages in ruminants pigs cats and horses
Hepatic and Splenic Macs in the dog rodent and human
What can impair these defense mechanisms?
Viruses
Bacteria that replicate in the Mac
Direct injury to cells (paths and toxins)
Uremia dehyrdration endotoxemia hypoxia edema anesthesia
Iummunodeficiency-rare, penymocystis carinii in pigs, foals, dogs, ruminants
How do you characterize Rhinitis?
By its exudate
What is the etiology for the only nasal disease in ruminants?
Bovine Herpes Virus
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis
What is another name for IBR
Red Nose
What is the exudate type for IBR
Serous to mucopurulent
What are your lesions for IBR
Ulcers
Fibrinonecrotic membranes that extends to the pharynx, larynx and trachea
How can you dx IBR
INIB
What is the etiology of Nasal Granuloma
Various etiologies
Mycotic: Rhinosporidium, Cryptococcus, Aspergillus
Blood Fluike-schistosoma
Allergies
What will the granuloma look like in granulomatous rhinits
Soft Pink Bleed easily
polypoid nodules
What are the bacterial causes of nasal dz in sheep and goats?
NONE
They do get
Nasal granuloma
Myasis
Endemic ethemoidal carcinoma
You have a horse with Fever, congestion, serous inflammation of nasal mucosa, conjunctivitis, cough and sometimes edematous swelling of pharyngeal lymph nodes
Equine Viral Rhinopneumonitis
What are your lesions for equine viral Rhinopneumonitis
Ulceration and necrosis of respiratory epithelium
What does Type A Orthomyxovirus cause?
Equine Influenza
Where are the lesions for Eq Influenza
NOT SEEN IN THE NASAL PASSAGES
dz mild-interstitial pneumonia
Horse comes in, serous and mucopurulent rhinitis, conjunctivities, and palpebral edema. also the etiology
Equine viral arteritis
Arterivirus
Which virus are you going to see hemorrhage in various tissues?
Equine Viral Arteritis
Bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge, lymphadenopathy, and painful swo=allowing
Streptococcus equi equi
“strangles”
Where can the infection extend to in Strangles?
Paranasal sinuses
Guttural pouch
Internal organs.
