Organ Change and Damage during Stress — Morphological Diagnosis —

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science ((CTVM,volume 42))

Abstract

In pathology, stress research comprises the influence and action of stressors on organ structures. If the influence of stressors is in balance with the organism’s predisposition the stressor is compensated by the adaptability of the organism and stress reactions develop. The morphological diagnosis is based upon the differentiation of two types of reactions. First the nonspecific reaction with the general adaptation syndrom (GAS), and secondly the specific reaction caused by the direct attack of the stressor, with the possibility of lower resistance of organs against stressors. The different kinds of stress reactions are demonstrated in the problem of gastric and pyloric ulcers in pigs and calves, with the paralytic myoglobinuria in horses, and with the porcine stress syndrome.
