What is somatic (voluntary)?
100
The abdominal midline.
What is the linea alba?
100
This piece of cartilage protects the trachea during swallowing of food/water.
What is the epiglottis?
100
The exchange of gas between the upper respiratory tract and the alveoli is called _____________ respiration.
What is external?
100
A toy-breed canine with a honking cough most likely suffers from this condition.
What is collapsing trachea?
200
The electrolyte of muscle contraction.
What is Ca++ (calcium)?
200
Prime movers (muscles) have a muscle that works in the opposite direction. This muscle is called ____________.
What is an antagonist?
200
The number of lung lobes on the left and right side.
What is 2 and 3 (really 4)?
200
The three functions of the upper respiratory tract.
What is warm the air, humidify the air and filter the air?
200
A sneezing kitten with runny eyes most likely suffers from this condition.
What is URI (upper respiratory infection)?
300
The neurotransmitter of muscle contraction.
What is acetylcholine?
300
Muscle fibers that run in a diagonal rather than parallel or perpendicular to body planes/lines are called ____________.
What is oblique?
300
Where the heart, blood vessels, trachea and esophagus all meet in the chest.
What is the mediastinum?
300
Intubation past the corina is improper because it can cause _____________.
What is lung collapse on the side that was not intubated?
300
This condition can be cause by inhaling food, water or other foreign material into the lungs.
What is aspiration pneumonia?
400
Lactic acid builds up when muscles burn all their O2 and convert to this kind of metabolism.
What is anaerobic?
400
The best sites for IM injection in a dog or cat.
What are the epaxial and hamstring muscles?
400
Residual volume.
What is the amount of air still left in the lungs after maximum exhalation?
400
Stretch receptors in the lungs are part of chemical or mechanical respiratory control?
What is mechanical?
400
The left arytenoid is tied back in the horse to surgically treat this condition in horses?
What is laryngeal hemiplagia (roaring)?
500
O2 is stored in the muscles as this.
What is myoglobin?
500
This nerve runs in front of the hamstring muscle and must be avoided during IM injection.
What is the sciatic nerve?
500
During times of stress the bronchioles and bronchii dilate under the influence of this part of the autonomic nervous system.
What is sympathetic?
500
The partial pressure of O2 (PO2) is higher here than here, thus allowing for passive diffusion across the membrane.
What is higher in the lungs than in the blood?
500
This species has a sensitive larynx than may spasm during intubation making them a difficult species to intubate.
What are cats?
