1. Which of these should be watched during critical conditions?

Explanation

During critical conditions, it is important to closely monitor all three systems - respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological. These systems are interconnected and any abnormalities in one system can have a significant impact on the others. For example, during critical conditions, respiratory function may be compromised, leading to decreased oxygen supply to the brain and heart, which can result in neurological and cardiovascular complications. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor all these systems to ensure prompt intervention and appropriate management.

2. Which class of drugs can be used for pain management below for animals?

Explanation

Opioids are a class of drugs that can be used for pain management in animals. They act on the nervous system to relieve pain and are commonly prescribed by veterinarians for animals experiencing moderate to severe pain. Opioids work by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, blocking the transmission of pain signals. They are effective in managing pain in various conditions, including post-surgical pain, chronic pain, and acute injuries.

3. Which of these are opioids used for?

Explanation

Opioids are substances that are commonly used for their sedative effects. They act on the central nervous system to induce a calming and relaxing effect, making them useful for sedation purposes. Opioids are often prescribed for pain management, as they can help alleviate pain and promote sleep. They are not used for stimulation or body building purposes.

4. How many heartbeat does the sheep beat per minute?

Explanation

Sheep typically have a resting heart rate of 70-90 beats per minute. This range is considered normal for a healthy sheep. Heart rate can vary depending on factors such as age, activity level, and overall health.

5. Which should not be watched out for during respiratory checkup for animals?

Explanation

During a respiratory checkup for animals, "heaviness" should not be watched out for. This is because heaviness is not a characteristic or symptom typically associated with respiratory health. Instead, a respiratory checkup would typically focus on monitoring the animal's breathing rate, listening for any abnormal sounds, and observing the pattern of their breaths.

Submit
6. What is the normal temperature of a goat?

Explanation

The normal temperature of a goat is typically within the range of 101-104 degrees Fahrenheit. This range is considered normal for goats and indicates that they are in good health. Temperatures outside of this range could be a sign of illness or other health issues.

Submit
7. What is acidemic?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Blood pH too low". Acidemia refers to a condition in which the blood pH is lower than the normal range. In this case, it means that the acidity in the blood is too high, resulting in a decrease in pH. This can be caused by various factors such as respiratory or metabolic disorders that disrupt the balance of acids and bases in the body.

Submit
8. Which is an example of cardiopulmonary arrest?

Explanation

Cardiopulmonary arrest refers to the sudden cessation of both heart and lung function. Hypovolemia, which is the excessive loss of blood or fluids, can lead to a decrease in blood volume and subsequent inadequate oxygenation of tissues. This can result in cardiopulmonary arrest as the heart is unable to pump blood effectively and the lungs are unable to oxygenate the blood. Therefore, hypovolemia is an example of cardiopulmonary arrest.

Submit
9. What's an agonist?

Explanation

An agonist is a substance that binds to a specific receptor and triggers a response in the cell, typically mimicking the action of a naturally occurring substance. In pharmacology, agonists are drugs that activate certain receptors in the brain and body to produce desired effects. These effects can be diverse, depending on the receptors they activate.

Given your options, none explicitly describe the broad function of agonists accurately, as agonists can be involved in various physiological and psychological processes, not only those related to pain or psychological activities.

Therefore, the most correct answer from the given options, considering a broader understanding, would be:

None of the above
