Exam 2 Flashcards
Carcinoma
Epithelial derived malignant neoplasm
Adenocarcinoma
Glad form carcinoma
Adenoma
Benign gland forming neoplasm
Leukemia
Malignant neoplasm of circulating white blood cell
Lymphoma
Malignant neoplasm of lymphocytes
Sarcoma
Malignant neoplasm arising from soft tissues
Oncogene
a gene whose activated product causes growth
Tumor suppressor gene
a gene whose product prevents
growth
Mutation
a change in the genetic pattern
Cancer cell: A cellular population that has undergone eight fundamental
changes in cell physiology
- Self-sufficiency in growth signals
- Insensitivity to growth inhibition
- Altered cellular metabolism
- Evasion of apoptosis
- Immortality
- Sustained angiogenesis
- Ability to invade and metastasize
- Ability to evade the human immune response
Telomeres
Protect the
chromosomes from
fraying –Expiration date
Telomerase
tells telomeres
to regenerate
Tumor cells evade the immune
system one of three ways
Don’t display an antigen on it’s MHC Class I receptor • Stop making MHC Class I receptors • Make immunosuppressive cytokines that kill the T cells.
Altered
Cellular
Metabolism:
Use anaerobic
glycolysis for
carbon
Sustained Angiogensis
- Tumor secretes VEGF or bFGF
- VEGF increases blood vessel expression and movement to tumor
- Tumor has increased blood supply
Respiratory System Purpose
To facilitate the uptake of oxygen from the atmosphere
To release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Turbinates
Heat and moisten air
Nasal passages
Cilia to trap particulates
Throat
Contains epiglottis, laryngeal
cartilage, muscles
Secretory cells
club cell in the bronchioles
Epiglottis
Cologen that flaps down to prevent food from going into trachea
Bronchus
Cartilage rings lined with epithelial rings, no blood gas exchange
Bronchioles
Last division with cartilage
Bronchioles are lined with
Ciliated epithelial cells that help trap debris
Mucous producing cells: Mucins helps trap pathogens
Secretory cells
Parietal pleura
adheres to internal thoracic wall (rib cage)
Visceral Pleura
Adheres to lungs
Pleural space and what is it needed for
Space between parietal and visceral pleura
Filled with fluid and helps reduce friction and provide tension for lung expansion
Can cause edema or infection
Specialized lung cells
Goblet cells and club cells
Goblet cells
Secrete mucins, repair and replace mucuos layer for airway protection.
Increased when damaged
Metaplasia in goblet cells
Results in an allergic asthma symptoms increase in goblet cells, goblet cells replicate and increase mucous production
Club cells
Exocrine cells in the respiratory tract
Stem cell capabilities to adapt
produce uroglobin
Has microvili
Uroglobin
Detoxifies harmful substances
Alveoli characteristics that make them good for O2 exchange
Large SA to help come into contact with capillaries more contact helps with O2 diffusion
Type I cells
Simplified squamous epithelial lining cannot replicate
Type II cells
Surfactant producing can replicate into type one cells
Surfactant
Helps reduces surface tension and allow alveoli to pop open
can help with inflammation
help fight bacterial infection
Ventilation
Movement of air from environment into lungs into alveoli
Diffusion
Gas exchange of O2 and CO2
Capillary perfusion
How much blood is getting to gas exchange site
Muscles of ventilation
Diaphram- Primary muscle flattens to help breathing
Intercostal- Control ribcage expansion
Accessory- ab, neck, back last resort
Cerebral Cortex
Control voluntary breathing
Pons and Medula role in breathing
Controls depth and rate of breathing
Peripheral Chemoreceptors
Measure O2 CO2 and PH in carotid/aorta
Central chemoreceptors
Measure CO2 pH in brain
Send signals to ponds and medulla for CO2 levels
In the lung (alveoli) Pressure
PaO2 higher than PaCO2
In the pulm artery side of capillaries (from body) Pressure
PaO2 lower than Pa CO2
In the pulm vein side of capillaries (going to heart&body)
PaO2 higher than PaCO2
Rapid movement of CO2 off hemoglobin
Increased pH of blood –> increases affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen
Decreases temperature of blood–>increases affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen
Altitude sickness
- Atmospheric pressure is lower than normal
* PO2 pressure in alveoli is < 100 mmHg
Diffusion O2 out of alveoli depends on
Partial pressure of O2 in alveoli in relation to hemoglobin
Movement of CO2 off of hemoglobin into alveoli
Diffusion of O2 into off of hemoglobin into tissues depends on
– Tissue activity
– Higher temp of blood and lowering of pH (acidosis) = right shift • Partial pressure of O2 in tissues in relation to hemoglobin
Which part of the lung has the most perfusion
Lower levels of the lungs have higher perfusion of blood compared to
upper area of lungs
V/Q Ratio
Ratio of the air that reaches the alveoli and the blood that reaches the alveoli via capillaries = 0.8 is ideal
VQ Mismatch High and Low
High V/Q: lots of ventilation but little perfusion = dead space
Low V/Q: some ventilation but lots of perfusion
Ventilation
there is a block in the airways somewhere preventing alveoli from
having air exchange
Perfusion (Q)
breathing is fine but lack of blood getting to alveoli so gas exchange isn’t happening and pulmonary arterial blood gets recirculated
Shunt
Blood vessel or cardiac malformations
Obstructive Lung Disease
Mucous, inflammation, lung tissue destruction
Have a hard time expelling air from the lungs
–Ex. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis
Restrictive Lung Disease
- “Restricts” the lungs from inflating
* Disease process or structural abnormality/pregnancy
Tidal Volume
amount of air moved in and out during one normal breath Approx. 500 ml
TLC (total lung capacity)
volume of air in lungs after biggest breath in Approx. 6L
VC (Vital Capacity)
volume of air that can be exhaled after biggest breath in Approx. 80% of TLC
Spirometry
Measures volume (L) and percent predicted of:
• FVC=forced vital capacity
• FEV1=forced expiratory volume in
the 1st second
Helps Determine Lung health
Percent predicted = compared to normal for age and height
Flail Chest
3+ ribs are broken in 2+ places.
On inspiration lungs sink in, on expiration the lung bulges out
Symptoms: Pain when breathing, anxiety, buldging and sinking
Pneumothorax
Air gets in to the pleural space and partially collapses lung. Can be due to trauma or sporadic.
Symptoms: Dyspnesa, chest ache, chest tightness, cyanosis
