22
Q

Nucleus

A

membrane bound structure that contains the cell’s genetic
information (DNA) and controls the cell’s growth and reproduction.

23
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

ER performs many essential cellular functions, including protein synthesis and processing, lipid synthesis, compartmentalization of the nucleus, calcium (Ca2+) storage and release, detoxification of compounds, and lipid transfer and signaling to other organelles

24
Q

Ribosomes

A

small structures present in the cytoplasm or ER. They are
responsible for assembling proteins using amino acids

25
Q

Golgi apparatus

A

responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging
proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations.

26
Q

Lysosomes

A

contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all
types of biological polymers – proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and
lipids. Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete
components of the cell itself.

27
Q

Mitochondria

A

produce energy (ATP) for the functioning of the cell. The
number of mitochondria in a depends on the intensity of its activity: a muscle vs fat cell. “powerhouse of the cell”

28
Q

Different Types of Cell Injury

A

Reversible Injury

Irreversible Injury (Necrosis & Apoptosis)

29
Q

Necrosis

A

Necrosis is the end point of a pathologic process that results
in lethal, irreversible cell injury

Pathologic

30
Q

Apoptosis

A

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a genetically mediated and managed process that causes cells to die, generally physiologic

Physiologic

31
Q

Metaplasia

A

A reversible cell injury that results in a change in cell morphology and function resulting from the conversion of one adult cell type into another

32
Q

Dysplasia

A

A reversible cell injury that results in abnormal development of cells
(enlarged or pre-cancerous cells)

33
Q

Causes of cell injury

A
  1. Ischemia (lack of blood supply)
  2. Infectious agents (bacterial or viral)
  3. Immune reaction
  4. Genetic factors (sickle cell, cystic fibrosis)
  5. Nutritional factors (Diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperlipedemia)
  6. Physical factors (burns, trauma, frostbite)
  7. Chemical factors (carbon monoxide, alcohol)
34
Q

Main Function of Carbohydrates

A

4 kcal/g

provide energy for the body, specifically for the brain and
muscles.

35
Q

Main Function of Fats

A

9 kcal/g

are a necessary structural component of every cell. They help protect internal organs against injury, and provide many
essential nutrients.

36
Q

Main Function of Proteins

A

4 kcal/g

help build and repair tissues and provide essential amino
acids

37
Q

Recommended Carbohydrates Intake

A

Sedentary 70kg person
* 300g or 40-50% of total daily calories

Physically active person
* 400-600g or 60% of total daily calories

Athlete
* 70% of total daily calories (8-10g per kg body mass)

38
Q

Daily Recommended Lipid Intake

A

20-35% of total daily kcal (depending on lipid type)

39
Q

Recommendations for Protein Intake

A

RDA for adults is 0.8 g/kg of body weight per day or 0.364 g/lb of body weight per day for a sedentary population.

Endurance athletes, defined as engaging in sport-specific
training or participating in more than 10 hours of vigorous
weekly exercise = 1.2–1.4 g/kg of body weight

Resistance trained athletes = 1.4–1.8 g/kg of body weight

40
Q

Malnutrition

A

Nutritional imbalance
* Overnutrition
- Obesity
* Undernutrition
- Lack calories, proteins, or
other nutrients needed for
tissue maintenance and
repair.

41
Q

Etiology-based malnutrition

A

a classification system for malnutrition that considers the cause of the condition.

Three main types:

  • Starvation-related malnutrition
  • Chronic disease-related malnutrition
  • Acute disease or injury-related malnutrition
42
Q

Starvation-related malnutrition

A

Chronic starvation without inflammation, such as from anorexia nervosa

43
Q

Chronic disease-related malnutrition

A

Chronic inflammation of mild to moderate degree, such as from organ failure, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or sarcopenic obesity

44
Q

Acute disease or injury-related malnutrition

A

Acute inflammation of severe degree, such as from major infection, burns, trauma, or closed head injury

45
Q

Obesity

A

Excessive accumulation of body fat that contributes to
numerous chronic diseases as well as early mortality and
morbidity.

46
Q

Neuroendocrine dysfunction

A

Mechanism proposed to explain the development of effects of obesity

Spontaneous genetic mutations that impair CNS signaling cause disrupted food intake and weight
management

46
Q

Risk Factors for Obesity

A

Sedentary lifestyle

High glycemic diet

Underlying illness (eg. hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome)

Genetic disorder (Prader-Willi syndrome)

Medications (increased appetite or food cravings associated with prescription medications)

Environmental and psychosocial/behavioral factors (sexual abuse, socioeconomic status, eating disorders, lack of sleep)

47
Q

Hormonal dysfunction

A

Mechanism proposed to explain the development of effects of obesity

Impaired cortisol secretion, insulin resistance, elevated BP, and visceral accumulation of body fat

48
Q

Adipose cell theory

A

Mechanism proposed to explain the development of effects of obesity

obese people inherently have excessive number and larger fat cells, with elevated lipoprotein lipase (helps fat be deposited into adipocytes).

49
Q

Energy dysregulation

A

Mechanism proposed to explain the development of effects of obesity

Obese people may have fewer ATPase pumps -> expending less energy

50
Q

Microbial theory

A

Mechanism proposed to explain the development of effects of obesity

gut microflora has improved ability to extract and store energy from ingested food

51
Q

Clinical manifestation of obesity

A

Diabetes

Asthma

Functional impairments/deficits
* Shortness of breath (SOB)
* ADL limitations
* Increased risk for falls
* Increased incidence of hip, knee, back pain

Lower extremity lymphedema
* BMI > 59 may impair lymphatic flow

Complications with pregnancy

52
Q

Treatment Strategies for Obesity

A

Weight loss
* Moderate calorie intake
* Behavioral modifications
* Exercise
* Social support

Medication in conjunction with lifestyle changes

Bariatic surgery

Behavioral and lifestyle changes
