17
Q

intrinsic

A

with the body

18
Q

extrinsic

A

outside the body

19
Q

idiopathic

A

unknown cause

20
Q

iatrogenic

A

illness caused by medical treatment

21
Q

types of genetic disorders

A

mutation
single gene disorder
aneuploidy

22
Q

mutation

A

frame shift mutation

base pair substitution (frameshift are worst than base pair)

23
Q

frame shift mutation

A

addition or deletion of one base pair

24
Q

base pair substitution

A

one pair is substituted for another

25
Q

aneuploidy

A

abnormal number of genes (normally 23 pairs of chromosomes)

26
Q

Monosomy

A

turner syndrome

27
Q

turner syndrome

A

single X chromosome

- 45 chromosomes

28
Q

trisomy

A

klinefelter syndrome
Down syndrome
tripple X syndrome
XYY syndrome

29
Q

klinefelter syndrom

A

XXY: 47 chromosomes

30
Q

single gene disorder

A

caused by a single gene that is defective or mutated

31
Q

autosomal recessive

A

must have 2 recessive genes for the disease to occur - both parents - 25% have

32
Q

autosomal dominant

A

only need one dominant gene for the disease to occur - one parent - 50% have

33
Q

x-linked

A

males inherit these types of diseases from their mothers and

females become carriers

34
Q

multifactorial disorders

A

diseases caused y a number of genes acting together and influenced by environmental factors
ex.cancers

35
Q

obstruction

A

anywhere there is a tube

  • mechanical
  • functional
  • degeneration
  • trauma
36
Q

levels of prevention

A

primary
secondary
teritary

37
Q

primary prevention

A

prevent disease from occurring

ex.sunscreen

38
Q

secondary prevention

A

early detection

ex.screenings

39
Q

tertiary prevention

A

prevent deterioration

40
Q

mechanical obstruction

A

something physical that blocks

41
Q

degeneration obstruction

A

wears down with time
