Homeostasis and Disease Flashcards
Pathological process
disease process, loss of homeostasis, which really forms the basis of most of the disease processes
Pathologic stimuli can be
intrinsic or innate coming from the environment-external exposures, deprivations, nutritional
Cellular adaptation
Cells are able to compensate for challenges to homeostasis through a dynamic set of processes
Cellular injury
When cell doesn’t regain homeostatsis
regulated Variables
have a physical receptor Temp, BP, glucose keep are body wnl
stimulus or signal
Afferent
means towards, consists of nerves for neurological signals and blood for endrocrine
Integrating center
hypothalmus, cardiovascular and respiratory control,compares info to a range.
Efferent pathway
carries a response towards exit out, towards periphery.
Controlled variables
Heart rate, vaso const, vaso dilate also, known as effector response
Negative feedback
bringing things back to original signal
Receptors are
thermo, baro-bp, chemo, osomo,mechanoreceptors.
regulated variables are the…
Anchor
Patho
disease causing
Genetic causes
may be inherited
Mutations
genetic changes
Acquired mutation
environmental trauma, intoxication, or deficiency- nutritional or absence of a metabolite.
Diseases usually require both
genetic and environmental
Proteins are impacted in order to
cause a disease state
Disease process causes.
inflammation, aberrant immune response.
etiology
underlying cause of disease
Metobolic and Morphological
hallmarks of disease
Severity and Duration determine
outcome
trauma, deficiency are
external, intox, deficiency
Cell injury can be
hypoxic lack of o2, hypoxic injury. emia means bld
Ischemia
insufficient bld flow
oxygen most efficient
energy prod, o2 bound to hemoglobin
Aerobic metabolism releases
lactic acid
Acids are
denaturing causing cell injury and death.
oxidative damage
One of the things that can be produced during normal metabolism is what are called reactive oxygen species or ROS
ROS
unpaired oxygen molecules that produced superoxides
ROS are produced
clean up and inactive
