Q

Describe the inheritance pattern of genes

A

Inheritance patterns differ for genes on sex chromosomes (chromosomes X and Y) compared to genes located on autosomes, non-sex chromosomes (chromosomes numbers 1-22). This is due to the fact that, in general, females carry two X chromosomes (XX), while males carry one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Therefore, females carry two copies of each X-linked gene, but males carry only one copy each of X-linked and Y-linked genes. Females carry no copies of Y-linked genes.

Q

Acute vs Chronic inflammation

A

Acute inflammation starts rapidly and becomes severe in a short space of time. Signs and symptoms are normally only present for a few days but may persist for a few weeks in some cases.

Chronic: slow onset, can last for years, and is caused by tissue death and the thickening and scarring of connective tissue

A.Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart diseasea.Complication of group A beta-streptococcal infection (streptococcal sore throat and scarlet fever) b.Form anti-streptococcal antibodies against strep antigens that cross react with similar antigens in tissues; antigen-antibody reaction causes fever and injures connective tissuesc.Fever and inflammation of connective tissue throughout body, especially heart and jointsd.Acute arthritis involving multiple joints and inflammation of heart
28

Faulty pump construction
29
How blood coagulates
Phase I: prothrombin activator generateda.Intrinsic system: components derived from bloodb.Extrinsic system: tissue injury yields tissue thromboplastin1)Both pathways activated at same time2)Both pathways interact to initiate the blood clotting process Phase II: conversion of prothrombin into thrombina.After thromboplastin interacts with other substances to form prothrombin activator Phase III: conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin by thrombina.Thrombin splits off a part of the fibrinogen, forms smaller molecules, fibrin monomers
30
Coagulation disorders:
Hemophilia A: Classic Hemophilia = Factor VIII (anti-hemophilic factor) most common Hemophilia B: Christmas disease (after affected patient) = Factor IX (Christmas factor) von Willebrand’s disease: Large protein molecule produced by endothelial cells required for platelets to adhere to vessel wall at site of injury

A,B,C,D,E
49
What causes pancreatitis?
Escape of pancreatic juices into the ducts which leads to destruction of acinar and islet tissues.

RNA Contaiminated food and water and feces
51
Hepatitis B is what kind of virus and is transmitted through what?
DNA Blood and body fluids
52

1. Increased concentration of salts in urine 2. Infections of urinary tract. 3. Urinary tract obstruction
53
What is the difference between glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of glomeruli caused by antigen-antibody reaction within glomeruli. Occurs in diabetes Pyelonephritis: Infection of the upper urinary tract (UTIs)
54
Dehydration is caused by what 2 factors?
Excess water loss Inadequate intake in comatose or debilitated patients
55
Overhydration is produced through 3 factors
1. Excessive fluids intravenously or orally 2. Drinking excess water may also dilute body fluids and lead to hyponatremia even in subjects with normal renal function 3. Infants fed water or infant formula diluted with excess water are also at risk of hyponatremia
56
What is ADH's role in dehydration?
lowers osmolarity (reducing sodium concentration) by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, thus helping to dilute bodily fluids.
57
Difference between respiratory acidosis and alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis is failure or the lungs, increase in PCO2. pH shifts to acid side. Respiratory alkolisis lowers PCO2, excess of bicarbonate which rises the pH
58
Difference between metabolic acidosis and alkalosis?
Metabolic alkalosis has an increase in bicarbonate which shifts the pH to alkaline. Loss of gastric juices, chloride depletion, access ACH Metabolic acidosis: acids exceeds buffering capacity. Renal failure, ketosis, lactic acidosis.

What is benign prostatic hyperplasia
irregular uterine bleeding

Cerebreal aneurysms results from
defect in the muscular tissue of the vessel wall
66
What is the cause of CVA (stroke) ?
Disturbance of blood supply to the brain that results in thrombosis, embolism, or hemorrhage
67
What is the cause of TIA?
Bits of thrombus that break loose from an ulcerated plague and obstructs an artery.
68
Difference between wet and dry stroke?
Wet stroke results from embolism or thrombus. Dry stroke results from hemorrhaging
69

recent memory
70

72
Parkinsons disease affects
voluntary muscle, tumor in fingers, and extremities
73
Who does cerebral palsy affect
Newborns, infancy, or preschool
74
Nociception is the sensory nervous system's response to
certain harmful or potentially harmful stimuli.
75
Referred pain is pain
other than actual source
76
Phantom pain is pain
from a body part no longer there
77
Difference between acute and chronic pain
Acute pain is sudden onset whereas chronic persist for weeks
78
What are the 4 types of hemoatovmias of the skull and what are the differences
epidural hematoma: collection of blood outside blood vessel subdural hematoma: collection of blood on surface of brain subarachnoid hemorrhage: bleeding in-between the brain and tissues intracerebral hemorrhage: bleeding inside brain
79
Hyperventilation can lead to respiratory alkalosis by :
A decrease in PCO2 and an increase in bicarbonate
80
T/F In respiratory acidosis, the kidneys form additional bicarbonate to restore the pH to the physiologic range.
