Q

Epiphyseal growth plate mechanism

A

Fused = no more growth
Unfused = Continued growth
Cartilage: contains chondroblasts
Proliferation: hyperplasia (increase in cell number)
Hypertrophy: increased cell size
Calcification: cells are filled with hydroxyapatite (HA) Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 and then apoptosis leaves the HA
Ossification: new diaphysis
Bone growth goes from ossification to calcification and up to create new diaphysis

Q

5 signs of inflammation

A

Heat, pain, redness, swelling, loss of function

64
Q

What is evolutionarily significant purpose of inflammation

A

To eliminate the initial cause of cell injury/clear out necrotic cell and tissues damaged from original insult and initiate tissue repair

65
Q

If I scratch my arm with a key in a linear manner the initial color of the line is? Then it becomes what color? Why?

A

White to red

The line is whitish or pale immediately after the scratch
This is because the pressure from the key temporarily displaced blood from capillaries, reducing blood flow and causing a blanching effect

Reactive hyperemia, where blood rushes back into the area as part of the body’s inflammatory response
Histamine is released by cells, causing vasodilation and increased blood flow to the area, resulting in the red appearance

66
Q

COVID 19 and inflammation is where in the body

A

Binds to the ACE-2 receptors in the lungs
Inflammation in the lungs can result in fluid buildup and drowing

67
Q

Vitamin D3 formation

A

When skin is exposed to sunlight, cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is formed, sent to the liver for modification (calciferone), and then finally converted to calcitriol in the kidney
Calcitriol is a hormone responsible for the elevation of blood calcium levels

68
Q

Arrector pili muscles

A

Smooth muscles in our skin that make our hair stand whenever we are cold/scared

69
Q

Calluses are the thickest epidermis and are found in the hands and feet

78
Q

What layers of skin are alive?

A

Only stratum spinosum and basale are alive
These cells are responsible for mitotic activity while the granulosum is dying and the lucidum/corneum are dead to protect skin against abrasion
Cells going from deep to superficial takes 45 days

79
Q

Bacteria

A

Obligate aerobes vs obligate anaerobes

80
Q

Obligate aerobes

A

Need oxygen to survive

81
Q

Obligate anaerobes

A

Oxygen is toxic

82
Q

What do you see when you pour H2O2 into a cut? Why is this performed?

A

Hydrogen peroxide is converted to oxygen because obligate aerobes carry three enzymes that can perform this mechanism: catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH)
SOD makes H2O2 and
GSH and catalase are mainly responsibly for oxygen production by breaking down H2O2 to H2O and O2, which O2 is toxic to the obligate anaerobes that can cause infection

83
Q

Melanin

A

Absorbs radiation in the skin
Secretory pathway (endoplasmic reticulum to golgi apparatus to the melanosomes)
Keratin phagocytes eat the melanosome membrane but melanin stays put because melanosome holds melanin

84
Q

Apocrine vs Eccrine

A

Apocrine sweat glands are located in armpits and groin and excrete both sweat and oil
Eccrine sweat glands are everywhere and excrete only sweat

85
Q

Parts of the human nail

A

Know where nail plate, nail groove, lunula, and cuticle (eponychium; extension of stratum corneum) are located

86
Q

Immunosuppresants

A

Used when given a skin graft from another person
Needed because body will interpret the transplanted cells as foreign
Used so skin graft is not rejected

87
Q

What is MHC

A

Major histocompatibility complex
A group of genes that encode proteins that help cells recognize “self”

88
Q

Enzyme difference between obligate aerobes and obligate anaerobes

A

Obligate aerobes have three enzymes that obligate anaerobes are missing
They are missing these enzymes because of the oxygen products they produce
Catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) peroxidase (GPx)

89
Q

Fascia

A

A very thin layer of connective tissue that wraps around internal organs and msucles

90
Q

Retinaculum

A

A deep layer of dense connective tissue that is typically oval or circular in its morphology that can often times stabilize tendons or even muscles

91
Q

Shock

A

Life-threatening condition where organs have insufficient blood flow
Sudden drop in blood pressure

92
Q

Vasodilation

A

Leads to reduced resistance in system and reduced blood pressure

93
Q

Connection between EGF, a wound, and a scar

A

EGF stimulates collagen production but cant heal wounds
Scar forms around a wound and macrophages signal fibroblast activity which also adds collagen and other elements of the ECM to help heal the wound
EGF is released when tissue is damaged; EGF shows up and mitotic activity goes up, able to heal most injuries

94
Q

Debridement

A

When a doctor removes dead tissue from a wound to help a wound heal
Dead tissue can give bacteria a place to grow, which can lead to infection

95
Q

Connection between cortisol levels and immune system function

A

When stressed cortisol levels go up, immune system function goes down
Body cannot fight off virus as easily and is therefore susceptible to sickness

96
Q

Cortisol is from where

A

Adrenal cortex (the outer region of an adrenal gland)

97
Q

Hernia

A

Abnormal exit of tissue or organ, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides

Calcitriol: Activated Vitamin D; elevates blood Ca++
Estrogen: Helps prevent osteoblast apoptosis which is good for bone density

103
Q

3 major organs or structures involved in Ca++ level in blood

A

Bone: Bones act as reservoir for calcium. When blood calcium levels are low, calcium can be released form bones through a process called bone reabsorption
GI tract: The intestines absorb calcium from the diet, allowing it to enter the bloodstream
Kidney: Regulate calcium levels by controlling how much calcium is reabsorbed into the blood or excreted in urine

104
Q

Does brain want blood calcium levels higher or lower

A

Brain prefers normal calcium levels

105
Q

Osteoporosis treatments

A

1) Ca++ diet (dairy products) and TUMS
2) E2 (form of estrogen) through ERT (estrogen replacement therapy)
3) Low weight-bearing exercise (stress on bone = increase bone remodeling)
4) Pulsatile PTH (exogenous source) tricks brain into thinking PTH levels are elevated, thus causing it to make less PTH so that osteoclast activity decreases

106
Q

Histamine

A

A compound which is released by cells in response to injury and in allergic and inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle and dilation of capillaries
Stored in granules in mast cells
Can be released when mast cell comes into contact with an allergen

Know orientation
https://ctsinuscenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Paranasal-Sinuses.jpg

135
Q

Referred pain

A

Maxillary sinus superior to upper teeth, so infection of maxillary sinus causes inflammation and leads to pressure on upper teeth, so brain interprets as toothache

136
Q

3 elements of cleaning wound by pouring H2O2 in cut

A

Fluid: cleansing wound by pouring fluid
Toxic: O2 is toxic to obligate anaerobes that are trying to infect cut
Psychosomatic: Makes person feel better about cut healing; not stressing about cut

137
Q

Glutathione molecular structure

A

https://file.medchemexpress.com/product_pic/hy-d0187.gif
Has HS and NH

138
Q

Source of mutation within skin

A

Sun can be a source of mutation
Direct positive correlation between the number of times you burn and peel and the incidence of skin cancer
If cancers start in melanocytes they have the greatest incidence of metastasizing

139
Q

Nociceptor

Q

Microscopic terms of bone

A

Volkmann canal: Contains arteries, veins, and nerves
Interstitial lamellae: Irregularly shaped and fill in the spaces between osteons
Concentric lamellae: Cylindrical rings of lamellae which are rich in collagen
Haversian canal: Surrounded by osteons; Nutrient canal of osteons that house nerve fibers and capillaries; allows bone to get oxygen and nutrition without being highly vascular

144
Q

Calcitonin

A

From thyroid c-cells
Lowers blood calcium levels
Stimulus: Blood calcium was too high
Put osteoblasts to work; osteoblasts activity up; will take calcium out of blood and increase hydroxyapatite
Osteoclast activity go down
GI tract absorb less calcium and instead keep it in GI tract; GI absorption decreased
Kidney reabsorption decreased to filter calcium out of urine

145
Q

Parathyroid (PTH)

A

From parathyroid gland
Increases blood calcium levels
Stimulus: Blood calcium low
Osteoclast activity increases
Osteoclast secrete hydrochloric acid to wither bone away; calcium from bone goes into bloodstream

146
Q

Calcitriol

A

Sun activate precursors
Cholecalciferol goes to liver
Calciferol goes to kidneys
Activates vitamin D3 (calcitriol)
Elevates blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts

147
Q

Estrogen (E2)

A

Helps to prevent apoptosis of osteoblasts
E2 increases = increases number of osteoblasts = increases building bone = E2 decreases
Menopause = Osteoporosis

148
Q

Arachidonic acid, vasoactive peptides, phospholipid mediators, cytokines

150
Q

Vasoconstriction vs Vasodilation

A

Vasoconstriction: Blood vessel constricts; Systemic vascular resistance increases
Vasodilation: Blood vessels dilate; Systemic vascular resistance decreases

151

153
Q

Allergy feed forward stimulation

A

Eyes -> Histamine increases -> Puffy; red; itch -> Scratch or rub eyes -> Feels good (short term) -> Mast cell activity increases -> Histamine levels increase

154
Q

Agonist vs Antagonist

A

Agonist: Always produces a specific action and triggers the receptor to produce a natural response
Antagonist: Block or oppose the natural action or response of a receptor

155
Q
