Study Notes
Strongylus vulgaris Symptoms
- Fever
- Hyperemic (reddened) mucus membranes
- Elevated heart rate
- Decreased iron concentrations
- Leukopenia (low white blood cell count)
Cardiovascular System Overview
- Main Functions: (Specific functions not listed, only a placeholder for further information)
- Functional Anatomy: Further details on the anatomy not provided
- Regulatory Factors: (Details on factors regulating the cardiovascular system not provided, only placeholder for further information)
- Species Differences: (Details on species differences not provided, only placeholder for further information to come)
Blood Composition
- Erythrocytes: Small cells, varying in size based on species. (7.5 μm diameter and 2.0 μm thick at the rim is an example, not universal). Canine and parrot examples illustrated.
- Leukocytes: (No specific details about leukocytes provided).
Blood Vessels
- Blood Vessels (No details provided further)
Internal Anatomy of the Heart
- Labels of the heart parts are shown: Aorta, Left pulmonary artery, Left atrium, Left ventricle, Interventricular septum, Superior vena cava, Pulmonary trunk, Right atrium, Right ventricle, Inferior vena cava
- Focus on anterior view (front of heart)
- (No detailed notes provided.)
Cardiomyocytes
- Contractile Cardiac Myocytes: Description of cardiac muscle cells focused
- Autorhythmic Cells: Intrinsic conduction system, further investigation needed
Electrocardiography
- (No further details on ECG provided).
Regulation of Cardiac Output
- Cardiac Output (CO): Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute.
- Formula: CO = Heart Rate (HR) x Stroke Volume (SV)
