myobacterial bovis inhaled ➡️ bacilli within alveolar spaces in lungs ➡️ phagocytoised by alveolar macrohopages ➡️ bacteria killed ➡️ infection stopped OR inhibition of macrophage bacterlaocal acitivty ➡️ macrophages killed, bacterial spread, propagation of infection.

114
Q

what is caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in sheep/goats?

A

corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis - shearing wounds, spread by ruptured abscessed, oral or nasal secrebtum, incubation = 3 months

115
Q

what is liquefraction necrosis in CNS?

A

hypoxia or toxin induced neural necrosis ➡️ enzymatic dissolution of the neutrophil, little or absent fibrosis connective tissue in CNS.
lack of necrotic tissue support, resulting in cavity filled with fluid. debris membrane fluid cleared by macrophages.

116
Q

what is Gangrene?

A

3 types - moist, dry, gas

117
Q

describe moist Gangrene?

A

coagulative necrosis - infarction, gross findings= soft moist, brown/black, putrid smell

118
Q

describe Dry Gangrene?

A

secondary coagulation with infarction- extremites - (distal limbs, tail, ears, udder etc)
cold - frostbite.

119
Q

describe Gas gangrene?

A

anaerobic bacteria proliferate + producing toxins in tissue, bacteria intodicded by penetrating wounds into muscles
appearance - gas, bubbles.

120
Q

describe Blackleg?

A

clostridium chavvei - bacteria not introduced with wound, spores spread haemotogly from the intestine - + lodge into muscles.

121
Q

describe Fat necrosis ?

A

enzymatic - acute pancreatic necrosis/pancreatitis
tramatic - crushed fat - pelvic fat in dysteria, seemed fat of ruminant animals.
Abdominal fat is mesentery, omentum, retropartirum.

122
Q

what are some possible sequels to necrosis?

A

inflammatory reaction with visible tissue (white blood cells, hyperaemia)
digestion + liquéfaction to necrotic tissue: phagocytosis by macrophages
Regeneration of normal tissue

123
Q

explain the 2 apoptosis pathways?

A

extrinsic = death receptor pathway - receptors, Fas, TNF receptor
intrinsic - mitochondrial pathway - cell injury

both phases can switch at the INITIATOR CAPASE

124
Q

describe the intracellular accumulations?

A

excessive normal cellular component
abnormal exogenous substances
The normal cell accumulate abnormal amount of substance either for temporary or permanently which may be harmful to the cell and may cause injury

125
Q

describe the extracellular accumulations?

A

amyloid, calcification, arthritis(gout) (to much uric acid in the body)
recombinant proteins in the culture medium of Escherichia coli is desirable but difficult to obtain

126
Q

what are the causes of intracellular accumulations?

A

Decreased rate of metabolism, build up of normal endogenous substances.
Henetic or acquired defects in metabolism, packaging, transport or secretion
Failure of enzymatic marching to degenerate or transport an abnormal exogenous substrate.

127
Q

explain hepatic lipidosis?

A

normal cell ➡️ fatty liver due to abnormal metabolism
proteins mutations - protein resorption droplets, Russell bodes in plasma cells - defective protein folding - accumulation of abnormal proteins.

128
Q

what are some lysosomal storage diseases?

A

lack of enzyme - lysosomal accumulation of endogenous materials. b1 -galaclosidate + a- neuraminidase deficiency leads to intracellular accumulation (in neurones mainly)

129
Q

describe lipofuscin?

A

pigment that accumulates in post-mitotic cells, yellow-brown pigment granules composed of lipid-containing residues of lysosomal digestion. neurone and myotcytes + stable cells (hepatocytes)
indigestible - accumulates in lysosomes.

130
Q

what is haemosiderin?

A

iron-storage complex that is composed of partially digested ferritin and lysosomes. RBC breakdown, local haemosiderosis (bruising)

131
Q

name the main extracellular accumulations?

A

amyloid - diverse group of glycoproteins (B-pleatal sheet configuration,
Histolgy - eosinophilic amorphous, hyaline substance
Amyloidosis - secondary amyloidosis - to chronic inflammation/neoplasia, sustained antigenic stimulation most common in all animals
Primary amyloidosis - plasma cell tumours, rare in domestic animals

132
Q

describe renal amyloidosis?

A

globular capillary basement membrane, globular messanagium, interstitium of medulla and/or cortex,
Clinical corrections - anasarca = generates oedema ascites = serous fluid in peritoneal cavity.

133
Q

what is pathologic calcification?

A

calcium salts deposited in tissues, indicator preview ofinjury, white and gritty, calcium salts stain blue with H&E

134
Q

what is dystrophic calcification?

A

associated with necrosis,, most potent in coagulation + cases necrosis in fat necrosis.
dead/dying cells cannot regulate cytoplasmic calcium influx, calcium accumulated in mitochondria.

135
Q

describe metastatic calcification?

A

occurring in normal tissue secondary to hyper-calcium. energy of large amount of calcium ions into cells leads to calcium ions predicate on organelles.

136
Q

what are the most common cases of pathologic calcification?

A 
renal failure 
vit D toxicosis 
parathyroid hormone PTH
PTH-release protein (PTH-rp)
Destruction of bone from primary problems.
