Q

what are some of the facts about GLP-1 and GLP-2

A

GLP-1 is expressed in more organs

GLP-1 has a half life of 2 mins while GLP-2 has a half-life of about 5-7 mins

both are secreted by L cells and target GPCRs

they are typically responsible for lowering glucose levels

28
Q

residual volume

A

air remaining after ERV also about 1.2L

29
Q

inspiratory capacity

A

TV + IRV

30
Q

functional residual capacity

A

air remaining after a quiet tidal volume expiration

ie ERV + RV = FRC about 2.4L

31
Q

are the terminal bronchioles ciliated

A

yes - last structures to be ciliated

32
Q

is the right bronchus more vertical and has more branches than the left

A

yes - most aspirates end up in the right lower lobe

33
Q

what makes up the conducting zone

A

trachea, bronchi and terminal bronchioles

34
Q

what makes up the respiratory zone

A

respiratory bronchioles, alveoli and such

35
Q

what part of the resp tree contains cartilage

A

trachea and bronchi

36
Q

vital capacity

A

IRV + TV + ERV about 5L

37
Q

central chemoreceptors

A

respond to H+ ions only in the CSF ie pH

ie if arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases > pH more H+ > hyperventilation

38
Q

describe lung compliance in a tension pneumothorax

A

compliance decreases as intrapleural pressure becomes greater than atmospheric pressure

39
Q

what do C cells secrete in thyroid gland

A

calcitonin - in response to increase calcium

40
Q

is pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) increased or decreased in heart failure

A

increased ie above 15

41
Q

what controls the excretion of calcium and phosphate ions

A

kidneys

42
Q

A

4 weeks after antibiotic use

2 weeks after PPI use

Q

is PBC associated with iBDs

A

NO - PSC only

44
Q

what is a complication of coeliacs disease

A

t - cell lymphoma

a t -cell mediated autoimmune inflammatory disease

45
Q

vit C deficiency symptoms

A

pale conjunctiva
soft swollen haemorrhage gums
low platelets
bulging eyes

-scurvy

46
Q

first line for crohns flair up

A

glucocorticoids - prednisolone

  • infliximab is for when crohns isn’t responding
47
Q

A

1st = azathioprine

2nd = methotrexate

48

is gilberts unconjugated or conjugated bilirubin

A

unconjugated

49
