MIDTERM Flashcards
WHO - Health Definition
A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Physiology Definition
Way in which something functions
Physiology Definition
Way in which something functions
Pathology definition
Abnormality or Malfunction
Pathophysiology definition
Study of the process that is associated with disease or injury
Cell
Functional unit of an organism
Tissue
By selected adhesion, differntiated cells of similar properties form tissues
Tissue membranes - Types
- Mucous: Line digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive
- Serous: pericarium, peritoneal, pleural
- Cutaneous: Skin
- Synovial: Inside joint cavities produce fluid
Organ Definition
Different types of tissues formed together
Organ System
Different oragsn working together to perform a common function
Chromosomes
Structurs that contains a person’s genes, carry dna within a cell
DNA
Carrier of genetic information
Gene
Segments of DNA that code for specific proteins in one or more types of cells
Totipotent
Stem cells that can divide into all cell types in an organism and can form an organ.
Pluripotent
Stem cells that can divide in most cell types of an organism but cannot create own organ by self.
ICF Model vs Nagi Model
ICF: Funtional Impairment, Activity restrictioins, participant limitations, contextual factors (environmental, personal)
Nagi: Disease (Pathology) -> Impairment -> Functional Limitation -> Disability
Cell Homeostasis
Maintained by regulation and by the exchange of materials and energy with its surroundings
Ischemia
Lack of blood flow
Hypoxia
Low O2 in tissues
Anoxia
Complete absensce of O2 in tissues
Hypoxemia
Low O2 than normal in blood
What happens with decresed blood flow?
Decreased O2 changes metabolism from **aerobic to anerobic metabolism **
Decreased ATP synthesis changes cell membrane permeability and can lead to intracellular movement of ions and fluids. Leads to cell swelling.
**Increased buildup of CO2 **
Can result in cell death (Ex: Stroke and MI)
Endotoxin
A toxin that is present inside a bacterial cell and is released when the cell disintegrates. Sometimes responsible for characteristic symptoms of a disease.
Two examples of endotoxins
Tetanus and Botulism
