Q

positive vs negative feedback loop

A

positive is encouraging the action that is happening – childbirth

negative is going the opposite way of the action – water retention sodium retention ect

17
Q

biomedical model

A

driven by a cause and effect relationship

18
Q

cell injury general overview

A

cellular response

cellular concequence

19
Q

cellular response of an insult depends on

A

type of insult
severity of insult
duration of insult

20
Q

cellular consequences of an insult depends on

A

Type of insult
Status of cells at time of insult
Adaptability of cells
Genetic makeup of cells

21
Q

mechanisms of cell injury

A
Reduced O2 availability
Ischemia/hypoxia/hypoxemia
Aberrant immune reactions (RA)
Infectious agents (lyme disease)
Genetic abnormalities (Cystic Fibrosis)
Nutritional imbalance (Ricketts)
Physical  factors/Injury
Free radical damage
22
Q

ischemia

A

blood flow below min necessary to maintain cel homestasis

23
Q

hypoxia or anoxia

A

deficiency or absence of O2

24
Q

Exotoxin vs endotoxin

A

exo released into surrounding medium

endo remain in cell until death

25
Q

sepsis

A

the presence of microorganisms or their toxins in the blood

26
Q

septic shock

A

Endothelial cell damage, reduced blood volume, maldistribution of blood flow results in cardiovascular collapse or septic shock

27
Q

Virus

A

virally coed proteins disrupt internal components of cell

28
Q

nutritional deficiencies

A
Caloric deficiencies
Caloric excess
Caloric imbalance
Nutritional Deficiencies 
Specific nutritional deficiencies
29
Q

Consequences of cell injury

A
mild 
- reversible
- inflammation
moderate
- not going to return to normal state
- inflammation
severe
- death

injury to cells which make up tissues can in turn reduce organ fx

30
Q

reversible cell injury

A

many PT interventions designed to influence this process

31
Q

chronic cell injury

A

represents an adaptation to a chronic insult

leads to decrease in fx

32
Q

irreversible cell injry

A

cell death

occurs secondary to apoptosis or necrosis

33
Q

adaptation to chronic insult

A

A chronic insult may cause materials to accumulate in cells
Fats (binge drinking)
Cholesterol (atherosclerotic lesions)

34
Q

atrophy

A

decrease in size secondary to loss of substances or cell number

35
Q

hypertrophy

A

opposite of atrophy

36
Q

hyperplasia

A

increase in cell number –> increase in organ size

37
Q

metaplasia

A

one adult cell type is replaced by another adult cell type

38
Q

dysplasia

A

abnormal tissue growth or development

39
Q

autophagy

A

catabolism of cellular components (cannibalism)

40
Q

necrosis

A

results in cell death within living tissuee

41
Q

coagulative necrosis

A

A type of accidental cell death typically caused by ischemia or infarction

42
Q

gangrenous necrosis

A

Gangrene is death of body tissue due to a lack of blood flow or a serious bacterial infection.
