Ch.1 Final Part Flashcards
When Amyloid Deposits occur in a single organ, they are misfolded proteins that the body has trouble degrading.
Localized Amyloidosis
Non-mutated serum, transthyretin deposits in the heart. Non-symptomatic. Occurs overtime. 25% of people have it by the age of 80.
Senile Cardiac amyloidosis
Mutated transyhyretin causes restrictive cardiomyopathy. 5% of Americans of African descent have this. Ex. FMF
Familial form of Amyloidosis
Issue where heart cannot contract properly due to all the protein deposits surrounding it.
Cardiomyopathy
Amylin is derived from what?
Insulin
Chronic secretion of high amount of insulin leads to amylin deposits in the isle of the pancreas which causes the organ to loose ability to function;therefore no insulin can be produced.
insulin deficient
Type 2 diabetes
Beta- amyloid derived from APP (amyloid precursor protein) , deposited in brain forming amyloid plaques resulting in what disease?
Alzheimer disease
The gene for APP is located on what chromosome?
Chromosome 21
Trisomy 21=
Down syndrome
Since APP gene is located on chromosome 21, people with trisomy 21 often develop ___ by the age of 40
Alzheimer’s because more expression of APP
Protein producing cancer, carcinoma of the thyroid were calcitonin overproduction deposits within the tumor.
Medullary Carcinoma
Cystic fibrosis, Tay-sac, Familial hypercholestorlemia are all examples of what?
Disease causes by misfolded proteins that are degraded leading to their deficiency
The ccumulation of misfolded proteins in a cell can stress compensatory pathways in the ___ and lead to cell death by apoptosi
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Retinitis pigmentosa, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are examples of what?
Diseases Caused by Misfolded Proteins That Result in ER Stress-Induced Cell Loss
Each cell has a capacity for ____ . More stressor the more likely you are to overwhelm cells capacity to withstand stress.
Injury
Neurons have a small capacity to deal with _____ thus highly susceptible to it while skeletal muscles are more resistant (via anaerobic respiration)
Ischemia
Renal artery atherosclerosis will causes atrophy of some tissues, example of?
Slow, chronic, ischemia
Renal artery embolus, results in immediate cell injury. Much worse
sudden acute ischemia
Low oxygen in tissues, results in no final oxygen electron receptor in ox. phos.= less ATP= cellular injury.
Hypoxia
What happens when there is less/reduced ATP in cells?
Can’t power the Na or Ca+ pumps
Ischemia compromises what?
The delivery of substrates for glycolysis= non aerobic metabolism or aerobic energy generation.
Does hypoxia or ischemia causes more rapid and severe tissue injury to the cell?
Ischemia
-reduced/stopped blood flow
-Low blood oxygen(hypoxemia)
-Blood O2 carrying capacity diminished
3 causes of hypoxia?
Low partial pressure of oxygen in blood.
Hypoxemia
Decrease RBC mass. Blood O2 carrying capacity diminished, example of hypoxia.
Anemia
Decreased blood flow to tissues or organs
Ischemia
Physical causes of ischemia?
-Limiting caliber of artery= reduced arterial perfusion atheroscelorsis
-Stenosis/spasm
Blocking arteria flow due to backed up or decreased venous drainage (Budd-chiari syndrome/ blocked IVC) results in what?
Results in hypoxia
Shock- generalized hypotension in the entire system which causes poor tissue perfusion results in
Results in hypoxia
Stimulates the synthesis of several proteins that help the cell to survive in the face of low oxygen
hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) family.
-VEGF= stimulate growth of new vessels and increase blood flow = more oxygen
-Other protiens= changes in cell metabolism, stimulation uptake of glucose (from circulation/hydrolysis of glycogen) and glycolysis; anaerobic glycolysis(produce atp for cells without oxygen)
Proteins induced by Hypoxia inducible factor family
What tissues can survive loss of oxygen better liver/striated muscles or brain?
Liver/striated tissues
depeletion of ATP and sitting off of the Na pump results in what?
Decreased intracellular pH which causes changes in the activities of many enzymes, increased generation of ROS, and defects in protein synthesis.
What conditions cause hypoventilation (reduce breathing, O2 entering)
Increased PAco2 resulting in decreased PAo2.
