CV 2 Flashcards
Type I collagen location
- Dermis
- Bone
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Scar tissue
Think osteogenesis imperfecta
Type II collagen locations
- Cartilage
- Vitreous humor
- Nucleus pulposus
Type III collagen locations
- Skin
- Lungs
- Bone marrow
- Lymphatics, Granulation tissue
Think Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Type IV collagen location
Basement membranes
Think Alport syndrome
Acute organ rejection
- Occurs weeks after transplant
- Primarily cell-mediated
- HISTO: dense mononuclear lymphocytic infiltrate w/ myocyte damage
Purpose of double blind studies
To prevent observer bias (pt/researcher expectancy from interfering with the determination of the outcome)
Brain natriuretic peptide MOA
- Released by ventricles (whereas ANP is by atria) when stretched (e.g. CHF)
- Causes vasodilation (decreased preload)
- Also diuresis (dilates afferent and constricts efferent)
via cGMP => SM relaxation
First pharyngeal/aortic arch
CN V
Maxillary a.
2nd pharyngeal/aortic arch
CN VII
Stapedial a. (regresses)
3rd pharyngeal/aortic arch
CN IX
Common carotid, prox. internal coratid a.
4th pharyngeal/aortic arch
CN X (superior laryngeal branch)
True aortic arch
Subclavian a.
5th pharyngeal/aortic arch
Obliterated
6th pharyngeal/aortic arch
CN X (recurrent laryngeal branch)
Pulm a.
Ductus arteriosus
3rd degree heart block
- Atria and ventricles depolarize independently
- QRS complexes (ventricular dep) are narrow
- Atrial rate > ventricular rate
AV node can start initiating cells if the area between SA and AV is blocked
Diphtheria vaccine targets what?
IgG against exotoxin B subunit => prevents disease
B subunit promotes binding in oropharynx
A subunit inhibits ribosome function after B penetration
