DT120 OBA Flashcards
Function paraventricular nucleus
Regulates H2O balance thru ADH secretion
Secretes TRH, CRH, somatostatin & oxytocin
Hypertrophy
Increase organ size
Hyperplasia
Increase no. cells
Metaplasia
A mature, differentiated cell type is replaced by another mature, differentiated cell type
Atrophy
Decrease no. & size cells after maturity
Function supraoptic nucleus
Regulates H2O balance thru ADH secretion
Secretes oxytocin
Arcuate nucleus
Hint: cute
Secretes dopamine which inhibits prolactin & thus lactation
Acute inflammation blood cells
Neutrophil
Chronic inflammation blood cells
Lymphocyte
Monocyte –> macrophage
5 cardinal signs of inflammation
- Pain
- Heat
- Redness
- Swelling
- Loss of function
