1
Q

a technique of parasitic identification that is based on the principle that the parasites’ eggs are less dense and lighter in weight than the solution in which they are mixed, which causes them to rise to the top of the solution. By placing a slide over the container in which the solution and sample are mixed, the ova will
attach to the slide. The veterinary staff can then examine them under a microscope

A

Fecal flotation

2
Q

a plastic loop with slotted ends used for quick and easy fecal samples; there are commonly two loop sizes, one on each end, for large and small animals.
The loop is lubricated and slipped into the rectum for specimen collection

A

Fecal loop

3
Q

the chief artery of the thigh

A

Femoral artery

4
Q

the chief vein of the inner thigh

A

Femoral vein

5
Q

an opening, as in the opening of the surgical drape which is where the incision is made

A

Fenestration

6
Q

wild, particularly describing animals that haven’t been domesticated, such as cats

A

Feral

7
Q

the transmission of light signals via glass fibers

A

Fiberoptics

8
Q

a flexible fiberoptic bundle with an eyepiece at one end and a lens at the other

A

Fiberscope

9
Q

one of the factors essential in clot formation and is removed during the clotting process

A

Fibrin

10
Q

the precursor of fibrin

A

Fibrinogen

11
Q

a high-resistance wire or ribbon forming the cathode in the x-ray machine

A

Filament

12
Q

also referred to as focus film distance, focal-film
distance and sometimes source-image distance (SID); the FFD is the distance between the x-ray beam source and the film. It is usually set at 36 to 40 inches (90 to 100 cm) in veterinary medicine. The FFD should be standardized to provide satisfactory beam intensity without image distortion

A

Film Focus Distance (FFD)

13
Q

also known as cassettes, film holders are light-tight containers that are designed to hold x-ray films and intensifying screens in close contact. They are
meant to hold film flat and prevent the entry of daylight (and thus exposure) to the unexposed film

A

Film holders

14
Q

a small, wingless, blood-sucking insect

15
Q

several diseases can be transmitted to humans

via fleas and ticks, such as Lyme disease

Q

containing numerous shreds or fluffy particles of grayish or white mucus or other material; used of a fluid such as urine

A

Flocculent

17
Q

part of the anesthesia machine that is meant to deliver a consistent flow of oxygen to the vaporizer, then into the gas outlet, to the breathing circuit (or
tubes) and finally to the patient

A

Flowmeter

18
Q

the relation between the volume of fluids to be

administered and the pace at which they are administered

A

The flow rate of the IV catheter

19
Q

also known simply as “strike”, fly strike is a condition in which fly maggots hatch from eggs and move throughout a wound or feces ingesting any exudates, secretions, and dead cells but not the living tissue

A

Flystrike

20
Q

the point where the electron beam interacts with the anode (in the x-ray machine)

A

Focal spot

21
Q

liquid formaldehyde, fluid in biopsy jars that preserves the tissues placed within

A

Formalin

22
Q

a chemical substance that destroys or inhibits the growth of fungi

A

Fungicide

23
Q

an arthropod of the order Acarina; characterized by minute size, usually transparent or semi-transparent body, free-living or parasitic on animals or plants

A

Fur mites

24
Q

feline “distemper” vaccine that vaccinates against Feline viral rhinotracheitis, calici, and panleukopenia

A

FVRCP
