Q

What changes with age with regards to pharmacokinetics? How should this be handled?

A

Decreased volume of distribution (decreased total body water and lean body mass, however increased fat = increased Vd for lipophilic drugs)
Increased elimination half-life

30
Q

What is a deformation vs a malformation?

A

DEMI - cuz Jesus was a baby DEMIgod
Deformation - Extrinsic disruption, occuring after embryonic period -> i.e. arthrogryposis due to oligohydramnios

Malformation - Intrinsic disruption, defect in morphogenesis during the embryonic period - i.e. neural tube defect

31
Q

What is a Field defect?

A

Initial embryonic disturbance leads to multiple malformations by disrupting adjacent structural development (i.e. holoprosencephaly with ranging degrees of severity depending on how bad the original defect is)

APGAR
Appearance - Completely pink = 2 (vs blue body, or blue extremities)

Grimace - Cough / Sneeze to nasal catheter and pull away = 2, grimace or cry = 1, no movement = 0
Activity - Active motion = 2 (vs just some flexion = 1)
Respirations - Good / crying is 2 , 1 = slow / irregular,

33
Q

When are APGAR scores measured? What indicates good / poor prognosis?

A

1 and 5 minutes

Highest score is 10, >=7 is normal, <3 = poor prognosis for neurological development

34
Q

What is the definition of low birthweight?

A

<2500 g.

35
Q

What causes symmetric / asymmetric growth retardation?

A

Symmetric - Early insult, i.e. chromosomal abnormality or early infection

Asymmetric - uteroplacental insufficiency - head tends to be larger

36
Q

What is spermiogenesis vs spermatogenesis?

A

Spermatogenesis - name for entire process overall. Starts with diploid spermatogonia (germ cells) dividing, which will become primary spermatocytes, and undergo meiosis to become spermatids (haploid).

Spermiogenesis - process of making haploid spermatids into haploid spermatozoa (mature sperm), gaining a tail, losing cytoplasm, and gaining acrosome

37
Q

What’s the mnemonic for spermatogonia vs spermatozoa?

A

Spermato”gon”ia - Going to be a sperm (diploid currently)

Spermato”zo”a - Zooming to the egg (haploid and ready to rumble)

38
Q

Place the following in the correct order, and define them:

Growth spurt, adrenarche, pubarche, thelarche, menarche

A
Thelarche - breast bud / breast growth
Pubarche - pubic hair growth
Adrenarche - axillary hair growth (think adrenal glands make hair)
Growth spurt - follows hair growth
Menarche - first menstrual bleed
39
Q

What is the average timespan between thelarche and menarche and who tends to get it earlier? During what Tanner stage does menarche usually occur?

A

Around 2.5 years, tends to occur earlier in African Americans, with mild obesity

Tanner Stage 3 - Menarche

40
Q

What is the definition of precocious vs delayed puberty in females?

A

Precocious - Tanner Stage 2 at <8 years

Delay - Tanner Stage 1 at age 13, or no menses by age 16.

41
Q

What is Tanner Stage 1-5 for hair growth?

A

1 - No sexual hair
2 - Pubarche (pubic hair)
3 - Coarsening of pubic hair, still early though
4 - Coarse hair in pubis fully developed, but sparing thigh
5 - Coarse hair involving thigh

42
Q

What is Tanner Stage 1-5 for breasts?

A

1 - Flat-appearing chest
2 - Thelarche - Breast bud forms
3 - Breast enlarges, mound forms
4 - Breast enlarges, but areola remains raised (4 = mound on mound)
5 - Adult breast contour, with areola flattened

43
Q

What is Tanner Stage 1-5 for Testicles / Penis?

A
1 - No development / no sexual hair
2 - Testicular enlargement
3 - Penis size / length increases
4 - Penis width / glans enlarged
5 - Penis and testis enlarge to adult size
44
Q

What week do the fetal limbs begin to form and fetal heart begin to beat?

A

4 weeks = 4 limbs and 4 heart chambers

45
Q

At what week do fetal movements start?

A

Gait at week 8

46
Q

At what week do genitals have male / female characteristics?

A

TENitalia

47
Q

What germ layer gives rise to the bones of the skull, odontoblasts, and laryngeal / tracheal cartilage?

A

Neural crest! Amazing!

48
Q

What layer gives rise to the epidermis vs dermis?

A

Epidermis - Surface ectoderm

Dermis - Mesoderm

49
Q

What layer gives rise to the lens of the eye vs the retina?

A

Lens - Surface ectoderm (optic placode, which induces neuroectoderm)

Retina - Neuroectoderm (induced by optic placode)

50
Q

What gives rise to the middle ear bones vs sensory organs of the ear (i.e. cochlea)

Mesodermal layer

Vertebral defects
Anal atresia
