Q

Granulocytes types

A

Neutrophils _mostly these, in normal state
Basophil, - upregulated during infection
Eosinophil - upregulated during infection

Q

TCDD

A

a chemical byproduct of making polychlorinated phenols could cause cancer and does cause thymic atrophy which is the destruction of the thymus, which leads to the depletion of T-cells because the thymus produces them.

16
Q

Oxidative Hemolysis

A

accelerated destruction of erythrocytes exposed to “oxidant stress.”

17
Q

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

A

makes NADPH from NADP+ and H2O, NADPH protons are needed to deal with ROS, preventing Erythrocyte damage.

18
Q

Hydrazines, and Primaquin-

A

are used for treating malaria, but are oxidant chemicals so can be harmful in people without Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

19
Q

Polycythemia vera

A

overproduction of Erythrocytes

20
Q

Met H B reductase/ methb reductase -

A

enzyme responsible for converting methemoglobin back to hemoglobin.

21
Q

Tachycardia

A
  • rapid heart beat
22
Q

Bradycardia

A

slow heart beat

23
Q

Methemoglobinemia

A

when some compound oxidises of Fe to 3+ in heme so it can’t bind oxigen, dark colored blood.

24
Q

Cyanide Treatment -

A

Cyanide interferes with ATP synthesis in mitochondria. Cyanide will also bind methemoglobin. So to treat Cyanide Poisoning methemoglobin is actually induced with sodium nitrite. Then to slowly undue that methylene blue is added to reduce the heme group from methemoglobin to hemoglobin.

25
Q

Arterial hypoxia

A

O2 pressure-Low
Blood flow-Normal
Oxygen capacity -Normal
Lung Damage, pulmonary irritants — airway blockage/pulmonary edema

26
Q

Anemic hypoxia

A

O2 pressure-Normal
Blood flow-Normal
Oxygen capacity - Low
(Most common) decreased functional hemoglobin (Hb); decreased Erythrocytes; non-functional Hb, Carbon Monooxide, or Methemoglobinemia

27
Q

Stagnant hypoxia

A

O2 pressure - Normal
Blood flow - Low
Oxygen capacity - Normal
decreased rate of blood flow, physical blockage of blood flow

28
Q

Histotoxic hypoxia

A

O2 pressure - Normal
Blood flow - Normal
Oxygen capacity - Low
Reduction in ATP production by the mitochondria due to a defect in the cellular usage of oxygen. Cyanide or hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

29
Q

Hypersensitivity what it is and what causes it -

A

exaggerated or inappropriate immunologic responses occurring in response to an antigen or allergen. Metals; Drugs (Penicillin); Pesticides; Cosmetics/hygiene (contact dermatitis)

30
Q

Autoimmunity what it is and what causes it -

A

Autoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells. “autoimmune disease”. (like Systemic lupus erythematosis, wich can be ilicited by, Hydralazine, Isoniazid, or procainamide or other things) also caused by Halothane (anesthetics) mercury; silica.

31
Q

Immunosuppression what it is and what causes it -

A

the partial or complete suppression of the immune response of an individual. Halogenated hydrocarbons (thymic atrophy); metals; pesticides; Drugs of Abuse) TCDD, AHR, ACB- hexoclobenzine (pestacide)
