Q

Mouth

A
  • digestion begins in the mouth, and is both mechanical and chemical in nature
  • mechanical because you chew your food (teeth)
  • Chemical because there is an enzyme called salivary amylase that is released and creates carbohydrate digestion

Q

Types of teeth

A
  1. Incisors – located at the front of the mouth, with a sharp biting surface. Used for cutting or shearing food into small chewable pieces
    There are 8 incisors in both primary and permanent dentitions.
  2. Canines – located at the corners of the dental arches, have a sharp, pointed biting surface. Their function is to grip and tear food.
    There are four canine teeth in both primary and permanent dentitions.
  3. Premolars – unlike incisors and canines have a flat biting surface, their function is to tear in crush food. (Grinding.) they are unique to the permanent dentition, which has 8 premolars
  4. Molars – largest of the teeth, have a large flat biting surface. The function of the molars are to crush chew and grind food. There are 8 molars in the primary dentition, and 12 in the permanent dentition.

Q

Dental formula for children and adults (and example numbers.)

In the example what is the total number of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth in the mouth?

A

Children: 2 (incisors) - 1 (canine) - 0 (premolars) - 2 (molars)

Adults: 2 (incisors) - 1 (canine) - 2 (premolars) - 3 (molars)

This dental formula tells you how many of each of these are in 1/4 of your mouth.
So to get the total number of teeth in a persons mouth you have to multiply each number by four.

So multiplying by four, the number of deciduous teeth in this dental formula would be 20. The number of permanent teeth in this formula would be 32.

Q

What is plaque, and why is that a problem?

A

– Plaque is a soft sticky film of sugar, bacteria, and other mouth debris that adheres to the teeth

Plaque can cause tooth decay and gum disease if not removed regularly through brushing and flossing.
Plaque is a problem because it can digest tooth enamel. Acid eats away at the tooth enamel, repeated attacks cause the enamel to break down eventually resulting in a cavity

Q

The esophagus

A

The esophagus is a muscular tube about 10 inches in length
Connects the throat(pharynx) to the stomach
– It takes 4-8 seconds to move food (known as a bolus) through the esophagus.

Q

The stomach

A

– The stomach is the part of the digestive tract in which most digestion of food occurs
It is a pear-shaped enlargement of the alimentary canal(or the digestive tract) that links the esophagus to the small intestine
-in the stomach you’ll find both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical is the churning of food. Chemical digestion is when enzymes are secreted and help digest the food.

Q

Diverticulosis

Who is most commonly affected

A

– is a condition in which there are abnormal saclike pouches in the intestinal wall; the pouches do not cause symptoms unless they have trapped food in bacteria have invaded. The condition is diverticulosis and the condition with infection of the abnormal pouches is diverticulitis. Together these are called diverticular disease.

  • painless unless bacteria invade (diverticulosis)
  • when bacteria invade it is called diverticulitis

Q

Sickle cell anemia

Gets its name from ?

A
  • get its name because the red blood cells take on a sickle shape and do not function as they should

Genetic disorder and is carried as an autosomal recessive trait, if you have two parents who are unaffected they are known as carriers if they carry the gene for this trait but do not have it themselves.
- if these two parents marry and have children, they will have a one in four chance of having a child with sickle cell anemia, a 2 in 4 chance of having a Child who is a carrier but unaffected like themselves, and a one in four chance of having an unaffected child

Q

B12 deficient anemia
Also known as
Causes
Treatment

A

– It is also known as pernicious anemia. B12 is present and eggs, milk, meat, poultry and fish
Causes: diet is rarely the problem, except for strict vegetarians. Usually the problem is lack of intrinsic factor which is produced by the stomach. Intrinsic factor is necessary for absorption.
Treatment: regular injections of B12 or intrinsic factor

51
Q

Hemorrhagic

55
Q

Sickle cell anemia treatment

A

– in some cases sickle cell anemia treatment requires blood transfusions
– Blood transfusions will reduce the risk of certain complications of the disease and also reduce symptoms of severe anemia
– A blood transfusion may prevent a first stroke in children who have sickle cell disease

56
Q

Polycythemia

Cause and what happens

A

Cause: an excess of red blood cells
-blood is too thick, makes it harder to pump and this is hard on the heart.
– Usually the result of bone marrow cancer

57
Q

Symptoms of Polycythemia

A

– Dizziness
– High red blood cell count
– hematocrit maybe 80% (normal is 45%)

Death from Polycythemia is usually due to heart failure

58
Q

Treatment for polycythemia

A

– A partial exchange transfusion: (most often done in infants) blood is removed from the infant and replaced with normal blood

59
Q

Leukemia

A

– The prefix Leuko means white
– Cancer of the white blood cells
– Tremendous number of cells produced that are immature
– The cancerous white blood cells crowd the red blood cells out of the marrow and lead to anemia
– The more serious forms usually affect children
– Without treatment leukemia is fatal

60
Q

Symptoms of leukemia, causes of death

Q

Treatment of hemophilia, problems with treatment

A

– Injections of clotting factor, from blood plasma

– Two problems with blood transfusions; possible to contract either or both of the following – hepatitis or HIV
– people with hemophilia need to receive blood donations from at least 50 different patients to get enough clotting factor so that puts them at more risk than normal people

Q

How big is the heart?

How many times on average does the heart beat a day?

A

The size of a fist.

Beats 100,000 times a day

77
Q

Layers of the heart

A

– Endocardium: lines the heart
– Myocardium: muscle of the heart
– Pericardium: sac around the heart

78
Q

Circuits of circulation

A

Right side: – pumps blood to the lungs, – called the pulmonary circuit

Left side: – pumps blood to the body, – called the systemic circuit

79
Q

Chambers of the heart

Which ventricle is bigger and why?

A

2 atria: upper chambers, smaller
2 ventricles: lower chambers, larger

The left ventricle has the thickest walls.
– because this is the chamber that pumps blood to the rest of the body, The pressure is the greatest in this chamber

80
Q

Coronary arteries and veins

A

The blood that is pumped by the heart does not nourish the heart itself.

What does is:
Coronary arteries: supply the heart muscle itself.

Coronary veins: once the blood has been used, the coronary veins will carry the blood away from the heart

CMV – Cytomegalovirus
TB - tuberculosis
Cervical cancer

A 
AZT
DDI
DDC
D4T
Protease inhibitors

Combos:
AZT and DDI and protease inhibitors
AZT and DDC and Protease inhibitors

107
Q

Test for HIV virus anti-body and their problems

A

ELISA - many false positives
Western blot - expensive
IFA - expensive

108
Q

Outlook for the AIDS epidemic

A

– It is likely that there will be no cure for a long time, if ever. It is a virus like the common cold
– The hope is that the drugs will keep infected people symptom-free for longer periods of time

109
Q

Functions of the respiratory system

A 
– Carry air to and from the lungs
– Replenish oxygen
– Get rid of carbon dioxide
– Produce sounds
– Maintain PH
– Perceive odors
110
Q

Pathway of air through the body

A 
Nose
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Primary bronchus
Secondary bronchus
Tertiary bronchitis
Bronchiole
Terminal bronchiole
Alveolus (air sac) - where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged
111
Q

Vocal chords

A

Allow production of sounds
Are elastic and can be stretched
Are thicker in males than females
This is the reason men have deeper voices – testosterone is responsible for this
When vocal chords are relaxed, the sound is lower
When they tighten, the sound is higher

112
Q

Problems of the respiratory system

A

– Laryngitis
– Asthma
– Cystic fibrosis

113
Q

Laryngitis

A

Inflammation of the larynx
Caused by a virus, bacterium most often
Can also be caused by smoke, overuse of voice, alcohol

114
Q

Asthma

A

– A respiratory disease with wheezing and difficulty breathing

An autosomal recessive

118
Q

Chromosome area where there was a deletion in patients with cystic fibrosis

A

Chromosome seven

119
Q

What does cystic fibrosis affect

A

It affects the pancreas, testes, lungs

So it affects digestion, reproduction, and breathing; all the basic processes of life

120
Q

What problems do cystic fibrosis patients have

A

Secretion of a thick mucus, this mucus clogs respiratory passages, reproductive structures and digestive enzymes. This attracts the bacterium Pseudomonas which stays permanently

121
Q

Symptoms of cystic fibrosis

A 
Sweat tastes very salty 
Frequent respiratory infections
Difficulty breathing
Difficulty keeping weight
Clubbed fingers and toes
Barrel shaped chest
Ascites
122
Q

Cystic fibrosis treatments

A

Mucomyst - The brand name for acetylcysteine. A chemical most often in hailed by patience to thin their thick mucus and make it easier to expel
Postural drainage or vest - The patient is turned in different directions to help dislodge the thick mucus some use a vest to vibrate the mucus loose
Antibiotics
Viokase - A tablet or a pill taken orally by patience, contains pancreatic enzymes like lipase, protease, and Amylase to help these patients digest their food more readily

123
