Q

acute allergic contact dermatitis (ACD)

A
  • form of eczema caused by a type 4 (delayed) hypersensitivity rxn to an Ag on the skin surface

Q

Body’s muscles

A
  • 2 main fiber types:
  • Type 1 (slow twitch): perform actions requiring low-level sustained force (postural maintenance)
    • aerobic metab, have high myoglboin (oxygen storage) and mitochondrial (aerobic respiration) concentrations
    • paraspinal muscles mostly Type 1
  • Type 2 (fast twitch)-rapid forceful pulses of movement
    • 2b: derive ATP energy through anaerobic glycogenolysis and subsequent glycolysis
    • 2a=intermed between Type 1 and 2b-they generate ATP via aerobic metab

Q

Bone mass

A
  • in adulthood, bone mass is determined by peak bone mass and the rate of bone loss

Q

Disuse atrophy

A
  • skeletal muscle fibers decrease in size
  • tissue loss due to cellular death or reduced cell size
  • may be physiologic (atrophy of wolffian ducts in the female fetus, atrophy of maternal uterus following childbirth) or pathologic
  • pathologic atrophy: due to lack of use, loss of hormonal or neurologic stimulation (denervation atrophy), impaired circulation, mechanical compression, aging, or nutritional insufficiency
    • localized or generalized
    • due to: decreased physical workload
    • also seen in adrenal cortex during prolonged glucocorticoid use due to suppression of ACTH release
      • can lead to acute adrenal insufficiency if exogenous gluc therapy is abruptly discontinued
  • cellular level: decreased protein synthesis and loss of myofibrils

19
Q

PTH and bone

A
  • stimulates Ca release from bone mineral compartment
    • via: INC production of M-CSF and RANK-L
    • RANK-L binds RANK on onsteoclasts, stimulates them=INC Ca [enhanced bone matrix degradation]
20
Q

PTH and kidney

A
  • stimulate reabsorption of calcium in distal convoluted tubule
  • inhibits phosphate reabsorption in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
  • stimulates production of 1,25-(OH)2D3 (CALCITRIOL) via stimulation of 1alpha-hydroxylase in proximal convoluted tubuled (PCT)
    • feedback inhibition of PTH synthesis
    • INC intestinal calcium absorption
    • INC serum Ca
