Open Oral
This cell type is lost during the development of teeth, resulting in enamal hypoplasia.
What are ameloblasts?
This vascular ring anomaly can constrict the esophagus and is formed by the aorta, pulmonary artery, and ligamentum arteriosum.
What is persistent right aortic arch?
This dietary component is high in soluble proteins and can lead to the production of stiff foam with insufficient roughage.
What are clover and alfalfa/legumes?
This region of the porcine stomach is most susceptible to ulceration.
What is the pars esophagea?
This virus targets enterocytes in the villous tips, resulting in villous blunting and fusion.
What is rotavirus?
This virus is a foreign animal disease that can cause a vesicular to ulcerative stomatitis in ruminants.
What is foot and mouth disease virus?
This period of development is commonly when megaesophagus is recognized clinically due to the regurgitation of solid foods.
What is weaning?
This pathologic finding in the rumen is characteristic of vasoinvasive fungi and is often described as a necrotic center with an outer rim of hemorrhage and inflammation.
What is infarction?
This tumor arising from the gastric mucosa in dogs has a characteristic crateriform appearance due to tumor-induced fibroblast proliferation.
What is gastric adenocarcinoma?
This mechanism of diarrhea is caused by the loss of crypt-villous architecture and the microvillus brush border.
What is malabsorption/maldigestion?
This virus can induce exophytic, papillary masses in the oral cavity of immunosuppressed dogs.
What is canine papillomavirus-1?
This sequela of esophageal damage is characterized by narrowing of the esophageal lumen by fibrotic scar tissue.
What is stricture?
This virus is associated with the development of ruminal papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
What is bovine papillomavirus-4?
This cell type is the most likely cell of origin for abomasal neoplasia in cattle infected with Bovine Leukosis Virus (BLV).
What are B cells/lymphocytes?
This diagnostic method tests for the presence of nucleic acids of specific microbial pathogens.
What is PCR?
This pathologic process modifier is appropriate for "wooden tongue" (Actinobacillus lignieresii infection) to describe the associated inflammatory infiltrates.
What is pyogranulomatous?
In cases of choke, this pathologic process describes the loss of blood flow to the affected area, resulting in necrosis and congestion.
What is ischemia?
This bacteria is part of the normal ruminal microbiota but can opportunistically enter systemic circulation secondary to damage to the ruminal mucosa.
What is Fusobacterium necrophorum?
In cases of canine gastric dilation and volvulus, this organ is frequently displaced to the right side of the body.
What is the spleen?
This condition results when calves are infected with NCP BVDV in utero, making them immunotolerant to future viral infection.
What is persistently infected/mucosal disease?
This metabolic-induced lesion is characterized histologically by fibrinoid necrosis of mucosal arterioles and associated mineralization.
What are uremic ulcers?
This congenital disease that can be associated with megaesophagus is caused by a lack of acetylcholine receptors within neuromuscular junctions.
What is congenital myasthenia gravis?
Production of this metabolic biproduct results from fermentation of carbohydrates and can lower ruminal pH.
What is lactate?
This inflammatory cell frequently is associated with parasitic infections of the gastric mucosa.
What are eosinophils?
This fungal disease is characterized in the GIT by semi-firm, yellow-green transmural thickening.
What is pythiosis?
