SAQ 2014 Flashcards
4 functions of plasma cell membranes
- fluid - lateral diffusion of membrane proteins + cell mobility
- polar lipid composition - variable permeability
- breaks and tears are sealed spontaneously due to polar nature of lipids
a. isolate cell cytoplasm from external environment
b. regulate change of essential subs
c. communicate with other cells
what 3 main lipid groups make up the membrane layer of cell?
phospholipids
glycolipids
cholesterol
2 internal organelles of the cell derived from the membrane and are involved in protein synthesis?
endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
in what organelle does the TCA cycle take place?
mitochondrial matrix
2 situations where you have to breach confidentiality
- pt is in danger, e.g. exploitation
- in the public’s interest e.g. a crime or they are a thread
- the pt has consented, e.g have a rare disease and useful for education
when you do decide to breach confidentiality what obligation do you have toyour pt?
only tell what is necessary and tell them you will be breaching confidentiality
in virtue ethics, what quality underpins confidentiality?
trustworthiness
what part of stomach are patieral and chief cells found in?
body and fundus
what do parietal and chief cells secrete?
parietal = hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor. chief = pepsinogen
when food enters duodenum what cause the inhibition of parietal cells?
acid, distension, hypertonic solutions, AAs and FAs in the small intestine reflexively inhibit gastric acid secretion. This inhibition is mediated by short and long neural reflexes and by hormones (enterogastrones including CCK and secretin) that inhibit acid secretion by influencing the 4 signals that directly control acid secretion: ACh, histamine, gastrin and somatostatin.
what two substances cause the release of gastric acid by stimulating histamine?
ACh and gastrin
what are bile salts made from?
cholesterol, lecithin?
where do bile salts begin to be reabsorbed and where is the majority absorbed?
duo
majority = ileum
what epithelium lines the trachea?
pseudo-stratified ciliated columnar epithelium
3 functions the epithelium in trachea does to protect against pathogens?
secretes mucous - sticks
muco-ciliary escalator
simulates cough reflex
alveolar macrophages - 3 roles they play in host defence of the lung
innate immune system
phagocytosis
PRRs
PAMPs
what cell found in blood are macrophages derived from?
monocytes
R + L main bronchus definition
right is more vertical, shorter and wider
2 reasons for failing to quit smoking
nicotine addiction
fear of weight gain
as a solution to stress
habit
what stages to quoting follow pre contemplation?
contemplation
planning
action
maintenance
relapse
NHS ‘ready steady stop’, 2 other ways in which a pt could be helped to quit smoking
hypnosis,
NRT,
e-cigarettes
primary preventions for smoking
increase legal age of buying tax on cigarettes no adverts for cigarettes public indoor smoking ban no cigarettes visible in shops
2 effects of oestrogen on endometrium
thickens smooth muscle of uterus
softening of cervic and pelvic ligaments
histological features of secretory phase of endometrium
tortous glands
spiral arteries
stromal odema/increased bulk
secretions in lumens of glands
