Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. The sound may be soft or loud and unpleasant.

S. nasale inhabits blood vessels of the nasal mucosa and causes "snoring disease" in cattle, [1] but remains symptomless in buffaloes though extruding its eggs in nasal discharge. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The first intermediate host is a freshwater snail Indoplanorbis exustus [ 1 ] that may be the sole natural intermediate host for Schistosoma nasale (and ...

Recognizing different sounds during the animals breathing can help to diagnose BOAC and the presence of an elongated soft palate. - Pharyngeal Noise: This noise is termed ‘stertor’ and occurs when a dog cannot ‘pant’ normally due to blockage. So, the dog breathes partially through the nose, creating negative pressure which triggers a ...
The three types of ingressive sounds are lingual ingressive or velaric ingressive (from the tongue and the velum), glottalic ingressive (from the glottis), and pulmonic ingressive (from the lungs). The opposite of an ingressive sound is an egressive sound, by which the air stream is created by pushing air out through the mouth or nose. The ...
