PoM Missing Flashcards
How does sequence change
Glycine to cysteine
5 main cell types
Connective tissue cells - fibroblasts, chondrocytes (cartilage), osteocytes (bone).Contractile tissue - skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscleHaematopoietic cells Neural - neurones and glial cellsEpithelial cells
Epithelial cancers
Carcinomas
Mesenchymal (connective tissue and muscle) cancers
Sarcomas
Haematopoietic cancers
Leukaemias (from bone marrow cells) or lymphomas (from lymphocytes)
Neural cell cancers
Neuroblastomas (from neurones) or gliomas (from glial cells)
Keratinizing
Produce keratin
Which type of stratified squamous epithelium retain nuclei and organelles
Non-kertanizing
Cholesterol to pregnenolone
Desmolase
3 things progestagens (C21) can form
Glucocorticoids (C21)Mineralocorticoids (C21)Androgens (C19)
Androgens produce
Estrogens (C18)
Present in
Muscle and brain cells
Three dimeric isoenzymes
MM, MB, BB
When released into circulation
Following damage or death
Where MM found
Skeletal muscle
Where MB found
Heart
Where BB found
Brain
Other markers used to diagnose myocardial damage
Serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT)Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)Cardiac troponin
Specific cardiac troponin
Cardiac troponin I and troponin T
CK gel electrophoresis
Positive:BBBMMMNegative:
Delayed haemolytic transfusion reaction with anaemia
High bilirubin, jaundice
Bilibubin
Breakdown of red cells
Severe HDN
Hydrops fetalis and death
Less serve HDN
High bilirubin causes brain damage of death later
Where prion proteins found
Membranes of lymphocytes and plateletsPrions of CJD lymphoreticular tissues
CJD
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease
Prep karyotype - collect heparinised venous blood
Can use amniotic cells, CVS
Prep karyotype - isolate — cells
White
Prep karyotype - culture in the presence of phytohaemagglutinin
Stimulates T-lymphocyte growth/differentiation
Prep karyotype - after 48hrs add colchicine
Causes mitotic arrest
Place in —, place on slide, fix and stain
Hypotonic saline
Non disjunction
Trisomy or monosomy when fertilized
Non-disjunction meiosis 1
All daughter cells affected
Non-disjunction meiosis 11
Half affected
Gene responsible for brown eyes
OCA-2
What active brown eyes gene forms
Melanocyte
Fatal glycolytic enzymopathy
TPI (triose phosphate enzyme) deficiency
Excess of what (in glycolysis) can generate glycogen in the liver and muscle
Glucose - 6 - phosphate
What glycolysis step can be speed up or slowed down
3rd - phosphfructokinase
What reaction commits cell to subsequent reactions
1st - to glucose - 6 - phosphate
Why: what reaction commits cell to subsequent reactions
1st - to glucose - 6 - phosphate as it more reaction than glucose due to the presence of Pi
Where Glycerol Phosphate shuttle
Skeletal muscle, brain
Where Malatate-Asparate shuttle
Liver, kidney, heart
