Q

The physical agent Ionization radiation has what effect on cells?

A

Causes ionization of cellular water with production of highly reactive “free radical”

21
Q

Physical Agent Radiation effect?

A

Many forms may damage genetic material producing reproductive cell death of cells, genetic defects, neoplasia

22
Q

How does the Physical Agent Metazoan parasites effect cells?

A

Hahaha: Trick Question- Metazoan an parasites are a Biologic Agent not a Physical Agent!

23

29
Q

How do Viruses Cause Cell Damage?

A

May shut down protein synthesis in host cells and/or by inducing increased membrane permeability and Ca2+ entry

Can stimulate cytotoxic T-cells that kill infected cells

Can induce apoptosis

30
Q

Feline Infectious Peritonitis is an Example of a Viral Disease

A

TRUE

31
Q

How does the Infectious Agent Bacteria cause cell damage

A

Causes variable degree depending on the type of bacteria

They produce toxins [Exotoxins, Cytotoxins, Endotoxins]

Damage caused by cytotoxins or inflammatory response

32

Deficiency: calories or proteins

Excess

*Vitamin and mineral imbalances

  • Vitamin E/Selenium deficiency
  • Copper deficiency, Copper excess
41
Q
A

Vit. E deficiency

Epatocellular necrosis in pigs [hepatosis dietetica]

42
Q

Genetic Derangement

  • Mutations
    • What is the genetic derangement seein in Bedlington Terrier dogs and what does it induce?
A

Deletion of MURR1 causes genetic Derangement and it induces hepatocyte necrosis

43
Q

What type of special stained is used to test for copper?

A

Rhodanine

44
Q

How does Copper effect the cell?

A

Excess copper increases free radicals–> lipid peroxdation and cell membrane damage occurs

[copper does not cause hepatitis in BT until conc. reach 2000 ppm dw
