Question: You are assessing an animal that was brought across the state. The animal has a cough, intolerance to exercise, difficult breathing (dyspnea), and the mucosa of the cat looks anoxic (lack of oxygen). The heart rate is 150, with the normal ranging from 120-140 along with rapid breathing. An x ray was conducted and the heart was enlarged, and also had an enlarged pulmonary artery. A blood sample was also obtained, however the only thing that was elevated was the eosinophils and the basophils. You are suspecting a possible case of heart worm (HW) disease (dirofilaria imitis).

a. If this animal is affected by a parasite, what are the physiological implications? (Be sure to mention four things from the physiological standpoint that can be affected).

b. What is a good method of diagnosis in cats to determine if heart worm disease is present?

c. What is a preventive measurement for heart worm disease, mention the drug and the frequency of administration.

For those concerned with driving while high is this any different from driving while being intoxicated? Why or why not?

When motor cortex instructs the spinal cord to move a limb in a specific direction, a large number of neurons in the motor cortex fire action potentials. Despite the activity of many neurons, movement is performed in a single, well-defined direction. How do the firing rates of the population of neurons in the motor cortex specify well-defined movements (e.g., a specific direction)?

You are consulting with a farmer who is concerned because his pigs are not gaining as rapidly as they should be. He is feeding them a diet that includes 25% timothy hay (10% crude protein), 25% corn (10% crude protein), 10% oats (11.6% crude protein), 5% vitamin and mineral supplement (0% crude protein), 5% molasses (6% crude protein), 5% soybean meal (44% crude protein, and 25% rice hulls (13% crude protein). If he is using a 100 kg diet, how many kg of protein comes from timothy hay?
