HUB Paper 2 Flashcards
Blood Types
- O: Universal Donor
- A: N-acetylglucosamine at antigen terminus
- B: Galactose at antigen terminus
- AB: Universal Recipient
Agglutination
Blood clumping resulting from when antibodies attack foreign antigens
Types of anti-bodies on Blood Types
- Type A: anti-B antibodies
- Type B: anti-A antibodies
- Type AB: No antibodies
- Type O: Anti-A & B antibodies
Paratope
‘Lock’ of the antibody that fits into the epitope of the antigen
Epitope
‘Key’ of the antigen that the paratope of the antibodies fits into
Rh antigen
- Homozygous recessive (only rr will have Rh- Phenotype expressed)
Fluid compartments of the body
Total Fluid Volume:
1. Intracellular Fluid (ICF) = 2/3 TFV
- Extracellular Fluid (ECF) 1/3 TFV
o Interstitial Fluid (3/4 ECF)
o Plasma (1/4 ECF)
o Transcellular Fluid
Measurement of Intracellular fluid Volume (ICFV)
TBW-ECF
Measurement of Interstitial fluid Volume (ISFV)
ECF-PV
Properties of a good tracer
- Non toxic
- Doesn’t enter any other compartment
- Not metabolised
- Easy to measure
- Amount excreted is easy to determine
Tracers for Total Body Water
- D2O
- Tritiated water
Tracers for ECF
- Manitol
- Sulfate
- Sucrose
Tracers for PV
- Evans Blue
- Radiolabeled Albumin
Osmolality
Number of dissolved particles in a solution
Osmoles/kg H2O (Osmole = number of particles irresptive of type charge or size)
Osmosis
- Movement of water down a concentration gradient from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration (tries to dilute solute)
Hematopoiesis
Blood cells production
Erythropoiesis
Formation of red blood cells
Supine
Standard anatomical position of the body (spine on table looking up)
Crania
Skull
Postcranial
Below the skull
Types of motion
o Extension/Flexion
o Abduction/Adduction (snow angel vibes)
o Pronation (rotate hand so nails face ceiling)/Supination
o Rotation
Planes of reference
o Sagital (split body left to right)
o Coronal (Split body front and back)
o Transverse (Body in upper and lower parts)
Proximal
Close to midline
Distal
Away from midline
Anterior
Front
Posterior
Back
Superior
Above
Inferior
Below
Medial
Towards midline
Lateral
Away from midline
Types of joints
- Fibrous Joints
- Cartilaginous Joints
- Synovial Joints
6 Types of Synovial Joints
- Plane/Gliding (foot arch & wrist)
- Hinge (Knee, ulna & humerus)
- Ball and Socket (Shoulder girdle, hip)
- Saddle (Base of thumb, move in 2 directions)
- Pivot
- Ellipsoid
Long Bone structure
- Diaphysis
- Epiphysis
- Metaphysis
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone
Compact bone
Medullary cavity in the middle
Epiphysis
Wide part at each end of long bone
Mostly cancellous/trabecular bone
Covered with compact bone (Cortex)
Metaphysis
Growth plate where epiphysis and diaphysis meet
2 Types of bone
- Woven bone (“quick fix”)
2. Lamellar bone
Canaliculi
Tiny channels for distribution of nutrients and removal of waste between lacuna in osteons
Trabeculae
Open network formed from the matrix in spongy bone
Periosteum
Membrane on the outside of the bone
Endosteum
Membrane on the inside of the bone, lines the medullary cavity
Bone cells
- Osteoprogenitor cells
- Osteoblasts
- Osteocytes
- Osteoclasts
Osteoprogenitor cells
Mesenchymal cells that divide to produce osteoblasts
Osteoblasts
Immature bone cells that secrete matrix compounds (Osteoid) during osteogenesis
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells that maintain the bone matrix
Osteoclasts
Giant multinucleate cells that dissolve bone matrix
5 Phases of bone remodelling
- Activation
- Resorption
- Reversal
- Formation
- Quiescence
Appositional Growth
Growth in width through an increase in circumferential lamellae
Order and number of vertebrae
- (C) Cervical (7)
- (T) Thorax (12)
- (L) Lumbar (5)
- (S) Sacral (fused 5)
Upper limb structure
- Shoulder girdle – clavicle and scapula
- Upper arm – humerus
- Lower arm – ulna and radius
- Wrist – carpals
- Hand – metacarpals
- Fingers – phalanges
Lower limb Structure
- Pelvis – Os coxae
o Ischium
o Pubis
o Ilium - Thigh – Femur
- Knee cap – Patella
- Lower leg – Tibia
- Lower leg – Fibula
- Ankle bones – tarsals
- Foot – metatarsals
- Toes – phalanges
6 Sphincters in the GIT
- Upper esophageal sphincter (mouth to esophagus)
- Lower esophageal sphincter (esophagus to stomach)
- Pyloric sphincter (stomach to Duodenum)
- Ileocecal sphincter (Small intestine to colon)
- Internal and external Anal sphincters
- Sphincters of Oddi:
4 Layers of the GIT
- Mucosa:
o Epithelilum
o Lamina Propria
o Muscular mucosal - Submucosa
- Muscularis
- Adventitia/Serosa
