Q

What is Disease or Pathology?

  • Pathology =
  • Disease =
  • Diseases are d_______

How can you tell when someone is in a disease state?

A
  • the physical manifestation of a disease
  • defined as both the cause of the initial insult and also the pattern of a response that an organism has to that initial insult
  • Dynamic

Often the body’s response to the injury is actually more of a negative manifestation than the initial injury ie. HIV -> AIDS

The Language of Disease

  • Etiology =
  • Pathogenesis =
  • Clinical Manifestations =
A
  • “cause”
    • Idiopathic: cause of disease unknown
  • interaction btwn initial injury and body’s response to it to produce abnormal function - and the ultimate disease that emerges (more so from the body’s response)
  • the observable consequences of a diseae - S/S
    • ​Sign = objective, measurable (fever, rash, abnormal gait)
    • Symptom = subjective, felt by patient, must be reported by the patient

A
  • proteins, enzyme, (7.38-7.42)
  • lungs, kidneys
  • Buffer, weak, absorb, H+ or OH-
  • pH of fluids and body temp change proteins in the body -> start to denature, enzymatic function is disrupted*
  • Buffers can absorb or donate H+ to balance pH of a solutiion - each buffer system has a different range of pH that they work best in - so they work together to handle a wider range of pH changes*
43
Q

Major Buffer Systems ​

(4)

A
  • **Bicarbonate (HCO3-/H2CO3)
  • Hemoglobin (Hb-/HHb)
  • Proteins (Pr/Hpr) (both intracelular and extracellular)
  • Phosphate (HPO4-/H2PO4-)
  • Most important buffer system is Bicarbonate (HCO3- weak base, H2CO3 weak acid), bicarbonate is derived from CO2 - our body takes CO2 (a waste product of metaboiism and puts it to work, which is why we hold onto quite a bit)*
  • Hemoglobin can bind to an extra hydrogen ion*
  • Proteins can be a negatively charged protein or neutral protein that is bound to a hydrogen ion*
  • Phosphate has ability to move back and forth into weak acid and base*
44
Q

Bicarbonate Buffer System

Regulated by ____ Regulated by _______

___ + ____ <—> ______ <—> _____ + _____

  • Respiratory ____ and _____ effects PCO2 and therefore CO2 available for _____ ____ production
    • _____ effect (___ to ____)
  • The kidneys regulate _____ levels of ___ and ___ by controlling HCO3- conservation (______) and H+ secretion (______)
    • _____ effect (___ to ___)
A

Lungs Kidneys

CO2 + H2O <–Ca–> H2CO3 <—> HCO3- + H+

  • rate, depth, carbonic acid
    • Rapid (min - hours)
  • plasma, HCO3- and H+, HCO3- reabsorption, H+ excretion
    • Slow (hours-days)
  • Again bicarbonate is the most important buffer system - and is the only one we activvely manipulate - respiratory and renal system*
  • How does CO2 become a weak acid and base?*
    • In presence of water and enzyme carbonic anhydrase produces carbonic acid (H2CO3)*
    • Carbonic acid then can go back and forth between carbonic acid and bicarbonate and free H+ ion*
  • So if you have alkalosis, the respiratory rate can raise CO2 levels by hypoventilation -> therefore making more H+ ions at the end of that formula*
45
Q

Respiratory vs. Metabolic Acidosis/Alkalosis

  • Causes of Metabolic Acidosis:
    • ______ Noncarbonic Acids (3) etc
    • Bicarbonate ____ (3) etc
  • Causes of Metabolic Alkalosis
    • Excess ____ of Noncarbonic acids (4) etc
    • _____ Bicarbonate intake
A
  • Metabolic Acidosis
    • Increased: Ketoacidosis, Uremia (buildup of uric acid), Ingestion
    • Loss: Diarrhea, Renal Failure, Proximal tubule acidosis
  • Metabolic Alkalosis
    • Loss: prolonged vomiting, GI suctioning, hyperaldosteronism, diuretic therapy
    • Excess bicarb intake

Respiratory acidosis (hypoventilation), alkalosis (hyperventilation) -> any other cause is a metabolic cause

Resp and Metabolic systems compensate for each other when the other is causing acidosis/alkalosis

    3. ______ -> oxidative phosphorlyation
  • Each of these steps in metabolism yields ____
A
  • process by which the cells in the body take in energy substrates (food-protein, carb, polysaccharides and fat) we metabolize these foods in order to synthesize ATP (how our body stores energy for future use)
    • ​sugars
  • 3 steps
    1. ​​Glycolysis = glucose -> glycolysis -> intermediates
    2. Krebs cycle
    3. Electron transport
  • ATP
48

49
Q

Controll of Cell Transport

  1. Passive Transport (needs no energy) ​**​​​​
    • (3)
  2. Active Transport
    • ​​(2)
A
  1. Passive
    • Simple Diffusion
    • Osmosis
    • Facilitated Diffusion
  2. Active
    • Secondary Active Transport (uses movement of ions)
    • Primary Active Transport (used ATP)
  • Another important part of cell function is cell transport - controlling movement of substrates across plasma membrane*
  • Baseline permeability of plasma membraneis the most basic form of control*
    • Bc the primary structural component of the membrane is lipi -> anything lipid soluble is going to easily cross the membrane (anything lipid does not have a charge)*
    • On the other hand, anything that DOES have a charge/polarity cannot freely cross the membrane, needs assistance from a poor or more active mechanism*
