36
Q

Serious virus that puppies and older dogs can get (offers other animals but primarily dogs) the virus attacks the Epithelial lining in the GI tract. Causes sudden attack of the GI Epithelium which causes the cells to not work properly, not secrete, absorb nutrients which causes their epithelial tissue to lose its attachment

A

Parvovirus (Dogs)

A

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

38
Q

They are pretend stratified meaning they’re not technically in two layers, they’re in one layer but look like they’re in two layers because the lengths of the cells differ

A

Pseudostratified

39
Q

Multi layer tissue lining the mouth, esophagus, and vagina
Tends to form a thick membrane
Protects the underlying tissue

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

40
Q

___is most often the layer that’s closest to the lumen, lumen is the tallest, most tube like layer
Found only in select parts of the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems and along some excretory ducts (sweat, salivary, and mammary glands) function in secretion, absorption and protection

A

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

41
Q

Usually two layers of __cells
Primarily found along large excretory ducts
Protects underlying tissues
Secretion and protection

A

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

42
Q

Looked at in urine samples
Found in areas of the body required to expand and contract as part of their normal functions
Leak proof connections

A

Transitional Epithelium

43
Q

Specialized protein molecules that are produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, packaged into granules by the Golgi Apparatus, and discharged from the cell

A

Secretions

44
Q

Releases it’s secretions directly into the bloodstream

A

Endocrine

45
Q

Examples of endocrine gland

A

Adrenal gland
Thyroid gland
Pituitary gland

46
Q

Discharges secretions via ducts directly into local areas or systems

48
Q

What animal does hyperthyroidism affect

A

Cats

49
Q

What animal does Hypothyroidism affect

A

Dogs

50
Q

Either a lack of feedback loop happening in the ___gland or the gland is malfunctioning and is producing too much of the hormone. Causes animal to lose weight and muscle, really high heart rate and owners describe them as hyperactive. It is treatable.

A

Hyperthyroidism

51
Q

Their ___is not producing enough hormone which causes their metabolism to suffer and become slow which causes decreased immune function, changes in skin, start to lose hair, weight gain, no energy, lethargic and overtime their face can take on a specific shape

A

Hypothyroidism

52
Q

Affects both cats and dogs and is when the pancreas is not responding to the high blood glucose by producing insulin

A

Diabetes Mellitus

53
Q

Affects mostly dogs and affects the adrenal gland, it stops producing cortisol which causes the body to not respond well to stress and the body gives up which looks like losing blood pressure, lethargic and electrolyte imbalance when left untreated

A

Addisons Disease

54
Q

Common in young German Shepherd’s. Hello bile colored diarrhea, smells terrible and causes them to get really skinny, caused by the pancreas not producing the needed enzymes to break down food product so the food gets shifted through the intestines without being fully broken down, digested and absorbed

A

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

55
Q

Inflammation of the ___ and is most common in Shnauzers. Caused by change in the animals diet from increasing the level of fat in the diet. Symptoms include diarrhea and vomiting because their ___ stops secreting the enzymes that are needed for digestion

A

Pancreatitis

56
Q

Involved in Exocrine and endocrine function

A

Pancreas

57

Connective tissue

58
Q

Functions of connective tissue…

-acts as a reserve for energy

59
Q

Provides the frame that supports the body

A

Connective tissue

60
Q

Background outside the cells, includes ___fibers and ground substances

A

Extracellular Matrix

61
Q

The medium through which cells exchange nutrients & waste with the bloodstream, it acts as a shock absorbing cushion & it helped to protect the more delicate cells that it envelopes

A

Ground Substance

62
Q

The 3 Types of Extracellular fibers

A

Collagenous Fibers
Reticular Fibers
Elastic Fibers

63
Q

-Strong, thick strands of collagen
-Organized into bundles of long, parallel fibrils composed of bundled microfibers
-Found in tendons and ligaments

A

Collagenous Fibers

64
Q

-Thin, delicate branches networks of collagen
-Provide support for highly cellular organs
-Also found around blood vessels, nerves, muscle fibers and capillaries

A

Reticular Fibers

65
Q

-Branched networks composed primarily of the protein elastin
-Composed of Coiled bundles of microfibrils
-Occur in tissues commonly subjected to stretching

A

Elastic Fibers

66
Q

Involved in production and maintenance of the matrix (Fibroblasts, Chondroblasts, Osteoblasts, adipocytes and Reticular cells)

A

Fixed Cells

67
Q

Involved in the repair and protection of tissues (Leukocytes, Mast cells and macrophages)

A

Transient cells

68
Q

The baseline connective tissue cell

A

Fibroblasts

69
Q

When the cells get designated to a specific area of connective tissue (such as cartilage)

A

Chondroblasts

70
Q

Associated with bone

A

Osteoblasts

71
Q

Associated with fats

A

Adipocytes

72
Q

Connective tissue with some possible immune response

A

Reticular Cels

73
Q

As they become adult cells we drop the suffix ‘blasts’ and become ‘Cytes’

A

Fibrocytes
Chondrocytes
Osteocytes
Adipocytes

74
Q

White blood cells that wander from blood into tissue during times of infection or clean up. They either physically eat foreign invaders so they can phagocytize or they produce an immune response to foreign invaders

A

Leukocytes

75
Q

They circulate close to blood vessels and when they identify a foreign invader they burst open and release histamine into the bloodstream, this is the initiation of a systemic allergic reaction and inflammation

A

Mast Cells
