7.7.16 Flashcards
atherosclerosis: most common vessels involved
#1) abd aorta #2) coronary A #3) popliteal A #4) internal carotid A #5) circle of Willis
which has lower pressure: R vs L heart
R heart d/t lower resistance in pulm vasc
which has lower pressure: RV vs pulm A
RV bc pulm A has resistance to flow from the pulm circ
what is normal diastolic pressure in the RV? RA? central venous? pulm A?
central venous, RA, RV: 1-6mmHg
pulm A: 6-12
what nerves are involved in the pupillary light reflex?
afferent limb: CN II
efferent: CN III
what nerves open/close eye?
CNIII: open
CNVII: close
tibial N: motor fx
- foot: plantarflex, inversion
- toe flex
tibial N: sensory fx
plantar foot
where/how can you injure tibial N?
level of popliteal fossa d/t deep penetrating trauma, knee surg
AV node: location
endocardial surface of RA –> near:
- septal leaflet of tricuspid valve
- orifice of coronary sinus
global cerebral ischemia: what struct is damaged first?
hippocampus
global cerebral ischemia: what cells are most susceptible to damage?
- pyramidal cells of hippocampus & neocortex
- Purkinje cells of cerebellum
metronidazole + alcohol –> leads to?
disulfiram-like rxn (d/t acetaldehyde accum):
- abd cramp
- nausea
- HA
adrenal crisis: ssx
- severe hypotension
- abd pain
- vomit
- weak
- fever
adrenal crisis: tx
- aggressive fluid resuscitation
- glucocorticoid
what is: 1ary biliary cholangitis
chronic autoimmune liver dz –> charact by:
- lymphocytic infiltrates
- destruction of small & mid-sized intrahep bile ducts
spironolactone: AE
antiandrogenic effects:
- gynecomastia
- decrease libido
- impotence
benzodiazepine: MOA
enhance GABA effect at GABA-A receptor –> increased Cl- influx, suppress AP firing
what is: bioavail
fraction of admin drug that reach systemic circ in a chemically unchanged form
bioavail: calc
(area under oral curve)(IV dose) / (area under IV curve)(oral dose)
tetralogy of Fallot: major determinant of severity
degree of RV outflow tract obstruction –> determines degree of R–>L shunting & resulting cyanosis
increased activity of what cell is involved in pathogenesis of Crohn’s dz?
TH1 –> IL2, IFNgamma, TNF –> intestinal injury
noncaseating granuloma: Crohn’s or UC?
Crohn’s
what is special about GLUT4?
it is the only GLUT that is responsive to insulin
what is: lamellar body
organelles in type II pneumocytes that store & transport surfactant to cell surface
SLE: pathophy
loss of immune self-tolerance –> produce autoAb against nuclear antigens –> bind self-Ag –> form immune complex:
- deposit in tissues
- activate complement –> decrease complement levels
what Ab are assoc w SLE?
- ANA
- anti-dsDNA
- anti-Sm
minimal change dz: histology
EM: foot process effacement
LM, IF: normal
minimal change dz: tx
corticosteroid
