Q

What is an illness

A

Sickness or derivation from a healthy state
The perception and response of the person to not being well
A person can feel very ill even though no obvious pathological processes can be identified

21
Q

Acute illness

A

Usually refers to an illness or disease that has a relatively rapid onset and short duration
Not synonymous with severe
Physical symptoms cognitive awareness,and emotional response
If no complications occur most acute illnesses end in a full recovery and in the individual returns to the previous levels of functioning

22
Q

Chronic illness

A

Permanent impairment or disability
Residual physical or cognitive disability
Need for special rehabilitation
Potential for decreased quality of life

23
Q

Pathology

A

The structural and functional changes in the body caused by disease or trauma

24
Q

Clinical pathology

A

The pathology applied to the solution of clinical problems

25
Q

Executive function

A

Corgnitive function involved in formulating goals and planning initiating monitoring and maintaining behavior

26
Q

Primary prevention

A

Removing or reducing disease risk factors
Ex.Helmets,diets,anti smoking ads

27
Q

Secondary prevention

A

To promote early detection of disease and to employ preventative measures to avoid further complications
Ex. Tb test, colonoscopy, mammogram

28
Q

Tertiary prevention

A

Limit the impact of established disease
Ex. Physical therapy, chemotherapy

29
Q

Epigenetics

A

The study of how biology and environmental signals determine gene expression

30
Q

Transcription

A

DNA to mRna

31
Q

Translation

A

mRna to protein

32
Q

What is the role of the C peptide

A

Plays an important role in the correct folding of insulin and the formation of disulfide bridges
Is a sign that your body is producing insulin low or no c peptide indicates that your pancreas is producing little or no insulin

33
Q

Histones

A

Proteins which DNA can wind for compaction and gene regulation

34
Q

DNA methylation

A

Methyl group ( an epigenetic factor found in some dietary sources) can tag DNA and activate or repress genes

35
Q

Histone acetylation

A

Relaxes the DNA histone arrangement which makes the DNA accessible for transcription increasing gene expression

36

A

Therapeutic activities and exercise

44
Q

Which if the following has been shown to control DNA accessibility and gene activation or inactivation

A

DNA methylation and histone acetylation

45
Q

Which of the following is the product of gene expression ?

A

Protein

46
Q

In terms of epigenetics which of the following individuals is an example of successful aging

A

My neighbor, who is 103
