Final Exam Flashcards
What happens in the ribosomes?
protein synthesis
what happens in the mitochondria?
energy production
What is aerobic energy production
energy production with O2
anaerobic energy production
- energy production without O2
- a lot less energy is produced
Should Na+ ions be higher or lower OUTSIDE of the cell
HIGHER
should K+ ions be higher or lower inside the cell
HIGHER
how does the sodium potassium pump work
- it uses energy to actively transport across cell membrane
- if the pump breaks/does not work, ions will be on the wrong side of the membrane (too much in or out of cell)
benign cells
- looks like parent cell
- cells line up in orderly fashion
- cells know when to stop growing
malignant cells
- contact inhibition
- metastasize
- grow over other things
What can result from Marfan’s syndrome?
- abnormal chest, heart, and lung problems
- eye problems
- short torso
- tall, thin body frame
- long arms, legs, and fingers
normal WBC level
4,000-10,000 cells/mL
leukocytosis
- high WBC
- greater than 11,000
leukopenia
- low WBC
- fewer than 4,000
Are CRP and ESR increased or decreased during inflammation?
- increased
- they are non specific markers that tell us if there is inflammation but not where it is
What are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
- redness
- heat
- swelling
- pain
- loss of function
how do wounds heal properly
- hemostasis: limit blood loss
- inflammation
- proliferation, granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, epithelization
- wound contraction and remodeling
healing by primary intention
- simple reapproximation of edges of wound
- simple reepithelialization
- best outcome of healing
- surgical incision type of healing
healing by secondary intention
- gap in the tissue
- prolonged healing involving generation of granulation tissue and more complex tissue
- scar tissue formation/deformity
healing by tertiary intention
- gap n the tissue
- contaminated wound
- temporary loose closure to allow for drainage
- firm closure of wound after decontamination
- skin graft often needed
- scar tissue/deformity
innate immunity
- born with it
- nonspecific response
- cannot be transferred
- inflammatory process is part of it
- ex. skin, cilia
acquired immunity
- get it from contact with a pathogen
- specific response to invasion
- B- cells: memory, make antibodies
- T cells: cell mediated immunity
- recognize self vs non self
How does inflammation work in immunity
- it is part of innate immunity
- immunocompetence plays an important role in immune response and risk for inflammatory response
natural active immunity
- longest lasting immunity
- person in natural world comes in contact with antigen
- your body actively makes the antibodies
artificial active immunity
- vaccines, boosters
- you artificially get the antigen but your body actively makes the antibody
- not as long lasting but you can re up it
natural passive immunity
- mom to baby
- mom’s body makes the antibody and passes them to baby
- temporary
- given to baby through placenta or breastmilk
- when the antibody dies, baby cannot make more
artificial passive immunity
- antibody is artificially acquired
- only lasts for the life of the antibody
- given to people that are very sick
- ex. immunoglobulin infusion
type 1 hypersensitivity: immediate hypersensitivity
- B cell mediated
- hives, nasal discharge, bronchial asthma, allergic gastroenteritis
- can lead to anaphylaxis (inflammatory response so large that the airway closes, body is producing too much IgE)
- when anaphylaxis occurs STOP ALLERGEN
type 2 hypersensitivity: cytotoxic hypersensitivity
- Igs attack antigens on the cell surface
- antibody-mediated cell lysis results (bc the body wants to kill it off)
- ex. blood transfusion reaction
- s/s blood transfusion reaction: high temp, may have itchiness, BP changes, HR changes
- STOP INFUSION if any reaction occurs, do not flush
type 3 hypersensitivity: immune complex hypersensitivity
- antigen-antibody (immune) complex deposited in tissues
- tissue damage results
- may be systemic (lupus) or localized (RA)
- results in constant inflammatory response
- most of the the the antigen is unknown
type 4 hypersensitivity: delayed hypersensitivity
- previous exposure to antigen primes the T cells
- T cell attack does not occur until days after initial exposure
- ex. poison ivy, transplant rejection
where is extracellular fluid located
the bloodstream
where is intracellular fluid located
inside of cells
hydrostatic pressure
- pushing force that pushes water from ECF into ICF
oncotic pressure
- the pulling force created by albumin, which favors fluid movement from the ICF into the ECF
why is albumin important
- when you lose albumin, oncotic pressure drops and hydrostatic pressure kicks up
- in a constant inflammatory state albumin will leak out of cells
- keeps fluid in the cells
hypotonic solution
- more water than blood
- causes shift from ECF to ICF
- 0.45% NaCl
- given for dehydration, for keeping veins open
Isotonic solution
- same tonicity as blood
- no fluid shifts or change in cell size
- NaCl, Lactated ringers, D5 0.9% NaCl
- given to hydrate patients who are NPO
hypertonic solution
- more blood than water
- causes fluid to shift from ICF into ECF, draws water out of cell
- 3% NaCl, mannitol
- given for cellular edema
Why is the RAAS system activated
the kidneys want more blood because they aren’t perfusing, this causes blood pressure and blood volume to go UP
