YES
28
If there is lack of oxygen, why does the Krebs Cycle shut down?
YES
29
If there is lack of oxygen, why does the glycolysis shut down?
Because mitochondria need oxygen to produce ATP. No ATP= no glycolysis
30

it converted to glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate
31
what is the function of NAD+?
1) To carry oxygen to mitochondria
2) to carry electrons
3) its an enzyme and catalyze various rxn
2) to carry electorns
32
Pyruvate-----> lactate
| Under what condition this happens?
1) lack of oxygen- only applies maxiumum level of intensity
2) catholigcal reason- mitochondria dysfunction- diease states that no produce proteins from mitochondria
3) pyruvate is accumumlating gaster than mitochondria- glycolysis and pyruvate exceeded the pathway
33

40
Damage mitochondria DNA, how does it lead to lactic acidosis?
mitochondrial dysfunction= proton is building up
41
How does mitochondria DNA damage cause mitochondrial dysfunction?
Remember 13 proteins in ETC
Dysfunction will shut dow ETC and lead to shut down in ATP and Krebs cycle
No mitochndria= no pyruvate= accumulate lactose instead of protons= going faster than its suppose to
42

so brain can function
49
Why don’t you become hypoglycemic in the middle of the night when you are sleeping and haven’t eaten in several hours? What happens to your insulin and glucagon levels in the middle of the night?
glycogenesis and glyconeogenesis is in the liver provides glucose to dump in to the blood
50

4) it will inhibit glyconeogenesis in the liver
4
53
why skeletal muscle is not taking glucose?
insulin stimulate anabolic pathway
it stimulate uptake of glucose
since decreased in insulin, there is no insulin to uptake the glucose
brain does not insulin to take it up

63
why can't the brain use fat for energy?
1. neurons don't express b-oxidation enzymes
| 2. free fatty acids bound to albumin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier
64
why can't fats used for energy under anaerobic conditions or any other condition that will shut dow the ETC?
if ETC shuts down, NADH and FADH2 cannot be recycled back to NAD+ and FAD+.
B-oxidation will shut dow---> fatty acid will never tranfer to the mitochondria matrix and will accumulate in cytosol.
same does to mitochondrial dysfunction
65
B-oxidation is the process of cleave the bond between a fatty acid and glycerol backbone in the trigylceride molecule
T or F?
False; this is definition of lipolysis
B-oxidation is 4 steps process of cleaves off 2c from fatty acids coA in the form of acetyl coA
66
Insulin increases phosphodiesterase activity in adipocytes. What effect this have on lipolysis
1. stimulate lipolysis
2. inhibit lipolysis
3. no effect
2. inhibit lipolysis
insulin stimulates anabolic and inhibits catabolic
Why?
incerased phosphodiesterase activity will decrease the amount of cAMP, therefore decrease activity of hormone sensitive lipase and decrease lipolysis
67
What are the main functions of epithelial tissue?
protection, absorption, secretion, ion transport, filtration plus “slippery when wet.”
68
Cillia do what?
propel stuff (eggs, sperm and mucus)
69

A rostral to caudal brain section not along the midline is what type of section?
sagittal
78
The thorax is what to the abdomen?
superior
79
Are the serous membranes just to reduce friction of moving organs?
no, in the lungs they also link the alveoli to the thoracic wall
80
Do the body’s systems try to maintain exact physiological values such as body temperature?
not an exact value but a narrow range depending on variable.
81
Significant variations in all physiological parameters can be tolerated; true or false?
False; depends on variable- ↑BP can be tolerated for years but a significant change in body temperature or especially pH cannot.
82
What is the normal mechanism for limiting change and restoring homeostasis?
negative feedback.
83
Where is the best place to control metabolic pathways?
: at the first step/first enzyme.
84
What is vital if utilizing positive feedback for physiological processes?
: to have a separate, limiting mechanism (not self-limiting like negative feedback).
85
What are the 4 types of tissue? (histologically speaking).
epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous.
86
Why do you need to stain tissues?
most tissue is colorless (Caucasians only really have a pink tinge due to blood!) so without the contrast afforded by specific dyes you would find it very difficult to discern anything down a microscope.
87
Where did the first histological stains originate from? (developed from?).
the first stains were dyes used to stain material woven for clothes.
88
What are the resolving limits of normal/light microscopy?
: about the size of a small bacterium (~1m to 100nm); limited by the wavelength of visible light.
89
What are the main problems with normal/light microscopy?
in most situations the processing; impregnating the tissue with wax so it can be cut requires treatment with harsh chemicals, etc. Additionally, the microscope must be set up carefully (“critical illumination”) to get the correct stain colors especially for photography.
90
What are the resolving limits of electron microscopy?
almost down to single atoms! (~0.1nm/electrons).
91
What are the main problems with electron microscopy?
the processing even more so. Electron microscopy requires that the tissue be in a vacuum (where no one can hear you scream- see below!) and it is therefore totally dehydrated which is even more likely to introduce artifacts (something added by the experiment/observation/whatever which confounds your results and/or observations) than preparing tissue for light microscopy.
92
mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver can cause ketoacidosis
T or F?
False; acetyl coa is produced in mitochondria so when mitochondria shut down at the acetyl coa will not formed. so cant synthisize ketone bodies
if mitochondria shut dow, then ketogensis cannot occur
93
Anaerobic conditions can cause high rish of ketoacidosis
T or F?
False
anaerobic condition--> no o2--> etc shut down--> krebs cycle shut down--> cannot use fat because no b-oxidation and no ketoacidosis
94
a common adverse side effect of Zidovudre is ketoacidosis
T or F?
False
95
Lack of insulin and high secretion of glycogen is a common cause if ketoacidosis
T or F?
True
example= uncontrolled type 1 diabetes
96
Ketosis
example= fasting, or eating high fat and low carb
high rate of b-oxidation and low krebs --> high glucagon and low insulu=in
common
97
ketoacidosis
example= uncontrolled type 1 diabetes
very very very high level of b-oxidation
glucagon
high level of glucagon will attack bodies such as pancreases when it have "0" insulin
Because glucagon is high, glyconeogenesis is going to happen even though its not suppse to becasue we do not have insulin to uptake glucagon
OAA will deplet--> accumulation of acetyl coa
98
Tolbutamine and glyburide (drugs to treat diabetes) can inhibit carnitine palmotoyl transferase 1 ( as a side effect) which leads to muscle weakness, pain and exercise intolerance. why would this cause exercise intolerance?
1. they inhibit use of glucagon as a fuel source
2. they inhibit use of blood glucose as fuel source
3. they stimulate ketogenesis
4. they inhibit use of fats as a fuel source.
4
why?
cannot transport fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for b-oxidation, so cannot use fats a fuel course which can lead to weakness and exercise intolerance
the pain is due to accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytosl of the cell. Accumulation fo lipids cell (except adipocytes) cause dyfunction or death of the cell
accumulations in cytosol are bad!!
99
Zidovudine can deplete mitochondrial DNA. How can this lead to steatosis?
(accumulation of lipids in the cell)
Damage mitochondria--> no ETC
Depletion of mtDNA (low mtDNA) will lead to dysfunctional ETC and it will shut down. Therefore, B-oxidation will shut down. If B-oxidaiton shut down, then the fatty acids will not be transported into the mitochondria and will then accumulate in the cytosol. Steatosis can cause dyfunction or death to thecell
mtDNA does not encoded bust some of ETC
100
What tissue does ketogenesis take place?
liver
101
what are ketone bodeis made from?
acetyl coa
102
what is ketoacidosis cause from?
accumulation of ketone bodies
103
how are most of the ROS/RNS produced in the body of external source?
in the mitochondria of most cells via ETC
104
what is Doxorubicin?
cause damage in health heart cell
cancer drug stimulate HO* to heard
increase H2O2 and increase irons to the heart
105
What is Dexrazoxane?
prevent doxorubicin
when patient is given binds to free ions
ion is not free it can react
this helps reduce OH*
106
4 main cell types of epidermis
Keratinocytes, melanocytes, Merkel cell, and langerhans cell
107
Nailed are modified epithelial tissue composed of what?
Hard keratin
108
First degree burn?

```
First= only epidermis
Second= epidermis and dermis
Third= all
```
109
