Test 2: respiratory Flashcards
4 types of epithelial cells in upper respiratory tract
Stratified squamous
Transitional
Ciliated respiratory
Olfactory
normal fetal lungs will
sink
dark red purple
rubbery
atelectasis- collapsed alveoli
no air
collapsed alveoli
atelectasis
what do normal post natal lungs look like
Aerated lung tissue is
pink, spongy, & floats in
water or formalin
Parietal layer of pulmonary pleura include
costal,
mediastinal, & diaphragmatic
pleurae
air in birds move
unidirectional flow
conducting airways- trachea and bronchi
can see cartilage
transitional airways (bronchioles)
Basement membrane, smooth muscle, connective tissue (no cartilage or glands)
has club cells that produce immune modulator- surfactant, antioxidants, antibacterial ect.- can act as stem cell to repopulate surrounding cells if injured
alveoli
alveoli are made of what type of cells
Type I pneumocytes (flat)
Type II pneumocytes (cuboidal)- act as stem cells
two routes of exposure to lungs
aerogenous- airborne microbes, particulates, toxic
gases
hematogenous- circulating microbes, toxins, emboli
lines airways, traps particles/microbes, propelled to pharynx for
elimination
mucus
kill/opsonize microbes, prevent colonization in respiratory tract
antimicrobial proteins
IgA, IgG, defensins, cathelicidins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, complement
proteins, collectins, etc.
engulf particles/microbes, trigger inflammation if injurious agent cannot be contained
ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES
three defenses of respiratory tract
mucus
antimicrobial proteins
alveolar macrophages
Wry nose (midline deviation) BRACHYGNATHIA superior/inferior (shortened jaws)
PALATOSCHISIS (midline defect of hard & soft palate)
BRACHYGNATHIA
superior/inferior (shortened jaws)
PALATOSCHISIS
(midline defect of hard & soft palate)
Palatoschisis
soft palate) with feed material in nasopharynx
Sequela: aspiration pneumonia
Bilateral choanal atresia
there is thin bone blocking nasal from throat- can’t breathe through the nose
Small epiglottis enveloped by aryepiglottic fold
epiglottic entrapment- smaller then normal and get stuck
4 issues with brachycephalic airway syndrome
Stenotic nares
- Overlong soft palate
- Hypoplastic trachea
- Everted laryngeal saccules
auditory tube/
guttural pouch inflammation
EUSTACHITIS
excess mucous is also called
catarrhal
— can cause catarrhal rhinitis
bot flies
foreign body- plants
— can cause mucopurulent rhinitis
feline herpesvirus 1, feline calicivirus, Mycoplasma felis, other infections
— cause fibrinonecrotic rhinitis and pharyngitis
bovine herpesvirus 1 infection (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis)
— cause purulent rhinitis and sinusitis
periodontal disease → feed impaction & tooth root abscess with extension into sinus & nasal cavity
— can cause granulomatous rhinitis
Rhinosporidium seeberi (protistan parasite) infection
guttural pouch empyema
Purulent (suppurative) eustachitis
Streptococcus equi (subspecies equi (stangles) or zooepidemicus) infection
— can cause guttural pouch empyema
(stangles) Streptococcus equi subspecies equi
— cause guttural pouch mycosis
Fungal plaque (hyphae & fibrinonecrotic exudate); may invade arteries/cranial nerves → hemorrhage/dysphagia
guttural pouch lie next to —
internal carotid artery
CN 9,10,11
hemorrhage and dysphagia
necrotic laryngitis is caused by
“Calf diphtheria”
Cause: Fusobacterium necrophorum infection
URT inflammation will cause goblet cell — or squamous —
hyperplasia (increase in number)
metaplasia (change type)
epistaxis
bloody nose
local extension of URI inflammation
Brain (meningitis/encephalitis)
Bone (osteomyelitis/osteolysis)
atrophic rhinitis of pigs
Cause: Pasteurella multocida (cytotoxin-producing strains)
atrophic rhinitis of pigs is caused by
Pasteurella multocida (cytotoxin-producing strains)
Bacterial toxins inhibit osteoblastic activity &
promote osteoclastic resorption →atrophy &
malformation of nasal conchae
Nasopharyngeal polyp
Inflammatory mass arising from middle ear or auditory tube; due to chronic inflammation
ethmoid hematoma
submucosal hemorrhage and vascular proliferation with inflammation, cause unknown
Inflammatory mass arising from middle ear or auditory tube; due to chronic inflammation
Nasopharyngeal polyp
paranasal sinus cyst
Non-neoplastic expansile mass that can distort the skull Thin bony wall lined by respiratory epithelium & filled with fluid
“Enzootic nasal carcinoma”
Retrovirus-induced nasal adenocarcinoma in sheep & goats
nasal adenocarcinoma
subepiglottic cyst
Laryngeal rhabdomyoma
(benign skeletal muscle neoplasm)
Unilateral paralysis also called
hemiplegia
laryngeal hemiplegia is caused by
Injury or idiopathic degeneration of
left recurrent laryngeal nerve → DENERVATION ATROPHY of left cricoarytenoideus (CAD) muscle
Injury or idiopathic degeneration of
left recurrent laryngeal nerve → — of left cricoarytenoideus (CAD) muscle
DENERVATION ATROPHY
trachea
tracheal froth secondary to pulmonary edema
tracheal collapse
dorsoventral flattening with widened dorsal membranes
common in toy breeds or miniature horses
