Left anterior descending artery
Deficiency of type I collagen
Osteogenesis imperfecta
3 important css of Minimal Change Disease
1) Diffuse foot process effacement 2) Excellent response to steroids 3) Lipoid nephrosis
The only known positive regulator of complement activation that stabilizes the alternative pathway convertases (C3 convertases)
Properdin (Factor P)
First 3 factors involved in the alternative complement pathway
C3 and factors B, D, and P
Corrective lens for myopia
Concave
Bruit on the left flank is indicative of
Renal artery stenosis
Mechanism of thiamine alcohol headache in alcoholic with poor food intake
Dehydration
Blushing is indicative of
Active hyperemia
Has the highest known heme affinity (Kd
Hemopexin
What goes out in the feces after a person takes in orlistat
Lipoproteins
Acid-base imbalance that results from hyperventilation
Respiratory alkalosis
All the air that the lungs can hold
TLC
Volume of TLC
~6L
Maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lung at normal rate of exhaustion after a maximum inspiration
Vital capacity
The amount of air breathed in or out during normal respiration.
TV
Volume of tidal volume
450-500 mL
Amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation
RV
Amount of additional air that can be breathed out after normal expiration
ERV
Volume of ERV
~1.5L
Additional air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal breath
IRV
Volume of IRV
~2.5L
Amount of air left in the lungs after a tidal breath out
FRC
Volume that can be inhaled after a tidal breath out
Inspiratory capacity
Pneumotaxic center
Pontine respiratory group
Pontine respiratory group consists of neurons in the
Rostral dorsal lateral pons
Absence of PRG results in
Increase in depth of respiration
The release of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin due to an increased CO2
Bohr effect
