Q

B lactam antibiotics mechanism of action

A

Disrupt bacterial cell wall causing them to take up water and burst through inhibiting transpeptidases that catalyze cell wall formation and activation of autolysins that cleave bonds in wall by binding Penicillin binding proteins

Q

Chloramphenicol MOA and why is it not commonly used? What is it drug of choice for? What is another condition this is linked to?

A

Similar to a macrolide, not commonly used because has adverse effect of aplastic anemia requiring close monitoring, is still sometimes used as drug of choice in eye infections and typhoid or meningitis. In pediatrics, this is linked to gray baby syndrome which is where it builds up to toxic levels causing abdominal distension, gray coloration of skin, possibly shock and death

Q

Auricular hematoma definition

A

Collection of blood underneath perichondrium of ear often leading to deformity known as cauliflower ear

125
Q

distal 1/3rd of external ear is ____, proximal 2/3rd is ____ and is painful when touched

A

cartilage with ceruminous glands and hair follicles, temporal bone painful when touched

126
Q

Umbo definition

A

Where the malleus bone attaches to the tympanic membrane

127
Q

Cone of light definition

A

Reflected light on the anterior inferior quadrant of the tympanic membrane when viewed via otoscope, points at the umbo and if distorted could indicate ottitis media

128
Q

Ossicles order

A
  • Tympanic membrane
  • Malleus
  • Incus
  • stapes
  • oval window
129
Q

Tympanic reflex

A

Protect the cochlea in response to loud noises via the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles, does not protect against prolonged loud noises only building noise like thunder

130
Q

Tensor tympani and stapedius muscle functions

A

stapedius - reduces mobility of stapes
Tensor tympani - pull eardrum inward tightening it

131
Q

3 parts of the inner ear

A

Vestibule
Cochlea
semicircular canals

132
Q

Vestibule definition

A

Central cavity of bony labrynth containing the utricle and saccule

133
Q

Utricle and Saccule definition

A

Hold equilibrium receptor regions within the vestibule that respond to the pull of gravity and the changes in head position in a straight line

134
Q

Semicircular canals definition

A

Part of the bony labyrinth that have an ampula on one end that respond to movements of the head in rotational movement

135
Q

Otolith definition

A

Free moving ear stone that moves linearly in the utricle and saccule to stimulate hair cells to detect linear acceleration

136
Q

Ampulla definition

A

Located on the end of a semicircular canal and houses a cupula

137
Q

Cupula definition

A

Cap where hair cells are located within an ampula within a semicircular canal that contains endolymph and hair cells stimulated to detect rotational acceleration

138
Q

Cochlea definition

A

Part of the bony labrynth that houses the organ of corti and extends in a spiral shape from the oval window to the round window, with a varying basalr membrane on the floor throughout that is stimulated by different frequencies

139
Q

Hearing mechanism

A
  • Sound hits tympanic membrane
  • tympanic membrane vibrates ossicles
  • Ossicles fibrate oval window
  • fluid wave stretches the basilar membrane at a certain frequency
  • Basilar membrane oscillates
  • Organ of corti hair cells at that frequency locus bend
  • Hair cells send an ap down cochlear nerve
140
Q

Organ of corti definition

A

Sensory organ of hearing, spans width of the cochlea, is vibrated by the basilar membrane at varying frequency loci to send an AP interpreted as sound to the brain

141
Q

Ala nasi definition

A

Wing like protrusions at the base/entrance of the nose

142
Q

Nasal conchae/turbinates definition

A

Scroll shaped bony elements that increase the surface area of the nose and allow for humidifaction and cleansing of bacteria

143
Q

Olfactory mucosa definiton

A

Lines the roof of the nasal fossa at the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone to allow for olfaction

144
Q

Wharton’s duct definition

A

Opening of the submandibular salivary gland under the tongue near the frenulum

145
Q

Stenson’s duct definition

A

Opening of the parotid duct on the inner cheek near the 2nd molar

146
Q

3 intrinsic salivary glands of the mouth

A

Parotid
Submandibular
Sublingual

147
Q

Facial nerve provides taste on the…

A

…anterior 2/3 of the tongue

148
Q

Glossopharyngeal nerve provides taste on the….

A

…posterior 1/3 of the tongue
