Correct understanding of stress?
It can be viewed as transactional.
Several structural changes in rats exposed to repeated stressors
Ulceration in the gastrointestinal system
heart beating harder, faster & aroused, and scared -> general adaptation syndrome
Alarm stage
Exhaustion occurs -> stress continues -> no
Adaptation
School Exam -> unprepared, expected?
Increased glucagon release
Contest- heart beating faster and harder -> sweat
Anticipatory response
Hormone -> activate adrenergic receptors
Epinephrine
Hormone predominant released by the tumor
Norepinephrine
sympathetic stimulation of the adrenal medulla -> catecholamines =
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
stress-induced stimulation -> adrenal cortex =
Cortisol
Stress-induced catecholamine -> adrenal medulla =
Elevated blood pressure
hormone-secreting tumor of the adrenal cortex =
Increased lipogenesis of face and trunk
poison ivy -> synthetic cortisol -> cortisol relief? =
Suppressing Th1 cell activity
effects of elevated endorphins -> monitor? =
Pain inhibition
child physically abused most likely suppressed? =
Growth hormone
Coping process of =
Managing stressful challenges
the stress-age syndrome =
- Increased thyroxine,
- Immunodepression,
- Increased catecholamine secretion,
- Hypercoagulation of the blood,
- Free radical damage
findings associated with repression?
- Decreased monocyte counts,
- Increased eosinophil counts,
- Increased medication reactions
Term -> tissue growth cancer =
Neoplasm
characteristics of malignant tumors? =
Has a high mitotic index
preinvasive epithelial tumors of glandular or squamous cell origin =
Cancer in situ
type tumor -> breast glandular tissue =
Adenocarcinoma
cancer cells spread local lymph nodes -> stage =
3
cancer cell loses differentiation
= Anaplasia
possible tumor marker =
Enzymes
hepatitis C -> marker hepatic cancer =
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
cancer -> angiogenic factors stimulate =
New blood vessel growth
Presence telomere caps -> cancer cells =
The ability to divide over and over again
proto-oncogene is best defined as a(n) _____ gene =
Normal
genetic lesions -> cause cancer, most common?
= Point mutations
cervical cancer -> most likely cause
= Human papillomavirus (HPV)
Epstein-Barr virus -> most likely cancer?
= B cell lymphoma
Peptic ulcer -> presence of Helicobacter pylori, concern?
= Gastric cancer
common route -> metastasis -> blood vessels and
= Lymphatics
inflammation -> etiology cancer development
= Ulcerative colitis and colon cancer
Adjuvant chemotherapy treatment used
= After surgical removal of a tumor
type cancers -> response brachytherapy
= Cervix, Head, Lung
important environmental risk factor cancer -> exposure
= Cigarette smoke
organisms development contingent ->environment
= Developmental plasticity
types of cancers ->
= Squamous and small cell adenocarcinomas
Chromosome aberrations + mutations -> not directly irradiated -> referred
= Bystander effects
skin cancer on her head and neck -> most likely?
= Basal cell carcinoma
diet -> alter developing cancer -> minimize risk -> steak
= Rare
increase the risk of cancer -> combination smoking?
= Alcohol
cervical cancer -> many partners -> cause cancer
= HPV-16
physical activity -> reduce risk -> cancer type
= Colon
cancer -> construction work-> likely secondary occupational hazards?
= Mesothelioma
Indoor pollution worse than outdoor -> cigarette smoke and
= Radon
water test arsenic levels above 200 g/L -> cancer most likely?
= Skin
radiation induces genomic instability
= Facilitating new mutations
greatest risk for basal cell carcinoma
= Light complexion, light eyes, fair hair
physical activity -> prevention colon cancer-> identified by
= It increases gut motility thereby decreasing the time the bowel is exposed to mutagens
chronic alcohol intake -> risk cancer in which organs?
= Larynx, Esophagus, Liver, Breast
region of the kidneys -> contains glomeruli
= Cortex
functional unit of the kidney -> term
= Nephron
type nephrons determine concentration urine
= Juxtamedullary
phagocytic cells between renal corpuscle
= Mesangial cells
glomerulus and Bowman capsule referred to renal
= Corpuscle
urinalysis -> plasma proteins should be absent, because?
= The negative charge of the glomerular filtration membrane repels the plasma
sodium-sensing cells of the glomerulus -> term?
= Macula densa
before entering ureter -> urine passes through
= Renal pelvis
structure -> supplies blood to the medulla
= Vasa recta
trigone is defined as
= A triangular area between the openings of the two ureters and the urethra
portion male urethra that is closest to the bladder
= Prostatic
cardiac output -> average kidneys receive
= 20% to 25%
glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
= Perfusion pressure in the glomerular capillaries
blood vessels of kidneys -> innervated by
= Sympathetic nervous system
urinary -> renin-angiotensin system activated by
= Decreased blood pressure in the afferent arterioles
renal system secretes renin -> causes direct activation of
= Angiotensin I
glucose will be excreted in the urine
= The carrier molecules have reached their maximum
majority of sodium reabsorption takes place in
= Proximal tubule
descending segment of the loop of Henle primarily allows
= Water reabsorption
