QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS TEST

●● Platelets in mammals:
a) appear within RBC agglutinations in cases of hemolytic anemia.
b ) do not have nuclei.
c) appear as microfilaria in a Wright-stain smear.
d) are too small to be detected, even clumped, on the feathered edge of a
blood smear.
Answer: b) Do not have a nuclei
In mammals, platelets are nonnucleated fragments of cytoplasm released
from megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.
●● Fleas are:
a) endoparasites.
b)pseudoparasites.
c) periodic parasites.
d) ectoparasties
Answer: Ectoparasites
,Parasites are divided into two large groups: endoparasites (internal
parasites), which include nematodes, cestodes, trematodes, protozoa, and
acanthocephalans; and ectoparasites (external parasites), which include
fleas.
●● Actinobacillosis is usually treated with antibiotics, an
antiinflammatory drug, and intravenous administration of:
a) sodium iodide.
b) penicillin
c) dexamethasone.
d) oxytetracycline.
Answer: a) sodium iodide.
Actinobacillosis (wooden tongue) is diagnosed by oral examination and
biopsy, with isolation of the organism. It is treated with sodium iodide
and antibiotics, as well as antiinflammatory drugs.
●● In the infection process, a reservoir refers to:
,a) transmission of infection by direct contact with skin, secretions,
excretions, or mucous membranes of an infected animal.
b) the portal of entry by which the pathogen gains entry into a new host.
c) a pathogen's mode of transmission.
d) an animal, insect, or fomite in or on which a pathogen can survive.
Answer: d) an animal, insect, or fomite in or on which a pathogen can
survive.
A reservoir can be an animal, insect, or fomite (an inanimate substance
or object such as water, a bowl, a cage, clipper blades, an instrument, a
towel, or scrubs) in or on which a pathogen can survive
●● Treatment for galactostasis:
a) is indicated during the first 1 to 3 weeks of the postpartum period.
b) is begun during weaning and focuses on decreasing milk production
and inflammation, using warm compresses.
c)focuses on treating the inflammation and massaging the affected
mammary gland.
d) involves a decrease in milk production, coupled with cold
compresses to reduce ever.
Answer: b) is begun during weaning and focuses on decreasing milk
production and inflammation, using warm compresses.
, Treatment is begun if galactostasis occurs during the weaning period and
focuses on decreasing milk production (reducing food and water intake
and preventing nursing) and decreasing inflammation with gentle
application of warm compresses.
●● An allergic disease associated with airway inflammation,
bronchoconstriction, and excessive mucous production is:
a) influenza.
b) herpes.
c) recurrent airway obstruction.
d)viral arteritis.
Answer: c) recurrent airway obstruction
Heaves, or recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), is an allergic airway
disease caused by airway inflammation, narrowing of small airways
(bronchoconstriction), and excessive mucus production.
●● The analgesic effect of NSAIDs is due to:
a) interaction with receptors in the central nervous system.
b) interaction with specific opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord.
c) interaction with histamine receptors.
d)modification of the inflammatory response.
