Hyperthermia
Increased temperature due to hyperexcitability or over exertion when struggling
25
Hypothermia
Abnormally low body temperature
26
Hyperexia
Abnormal increase in appetite
27
Hyporexia
Abnormal decrease in appetite
28
Ciliary Bodies
A thickened portion of the vascular tunic of the eye located between the choroid and the iris.
29
Asymptomatic
Exhibiting or producing no symptoms.

By mouth.
35
Cyanosis
A bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to excessive concentration of reduced hemoglobin in the blood. Used wrongly by clinicians describing skin lesions in pigs where there is severe congestion of cutaneous vessels and some leakage of blood into perivascular tissues.
36
Necrosis
The morphological changes indicative of cell death caused by progressive enzymatic degradation; it may affect groups of cells or part of a structure or an organ.
37
Defecation
Elimination of wastes and undigested food, as feces, from the rectum.
38
Mucous Membranes (mm)
The inner tissue that covers or lines body cavities or canals open to the outside, such as nose and mouth. These membranes secrete mucus and absorb water and salts.
39
Microvilli
Tiny hairlike folds in the plasma membrane that extend from the surface of many absorptive or secretory cells.
40

43
Antigen
Any substance capable of inducing a specific immune response and of reacting with the products of that response
44
Antibody
An immunoglobulin molecule that reacts with a specific antigen that induced its synthesis and with similar molecules; classified according to mode of action as agglutinin, bacteriolysin, hemolysin, opsonin, or precipitin. Antibodies are synthesized by B lymphocytes that have been activated by the binding of an antigen to a cell-surface receptor.
45
