What can Reactive Oxygen Species Heart disease, Alzheimers, Parkinsons,
cause? Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), CV disease,
HTN, HLD, DM, ischemic heart disease, HF, OSA.
Lipid perioxidation, damage proteins, fragment
DNA, less protein synthesis, chromatin
destruction, damage mitochondria


What is the body's defense against Antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, cysteine,
ROS? glutathione, albumin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin)


How are free radicals produced? 1. Normal cellular respiration
2. Absorption of extreme energy sources (radiation,
UV light)
3. Metabolism of exogenous chemicals, drugs, and
pesticides
4. Transition of metals
5. Nitric oxide acting like a chemical mediator and
a free radical




action potential Process of conducting an impulse. Activates the
neuron --> the neuron depolarizes --> then
repolarizes

Threshold potential Point at which depolarization must reach in order
to initiate an action potential


Hypokalemia and action potentials HYPERpolarized (more negative, ex. -100). Less
excitable. Decreased neuromuscular excitability:
weakness, smooth muscle atony, paresthesia,
cardiac dysrhythmias


Hyperkalemia and action potentials HYPOpolarized (more positive, ex: closer to 0).
More excitable. Peaked T waves.
When resting membrane potential=threshold
potential, it is BAD = cardiac standstill, paresthesia,
paralysis


Hypocalcemia and action potentials Increased permeability to Na+. More excitable.
Tetany, hyperreflexia, circumoral paresthesia,
seizures, dysrhythmias.


Hypercalcemia and action potentials Decreased permeability to Na+. Less excitable.
Weakness, hyporeflexia, fatigue, lethargy,
confusion, encephalopathy, depressed T waves


Atrophy Occurs as a result of decrease in work load,
pressure, use, blood supply, nutrition, hormonal
stimulation, or nervous stimulation. Once the cell
has decreased in size, it has now compensated for
decreased blood supply, nerve supply, nutrient
supply, hormonal supply, and has achieved new
homeostasis. Cells are alive but have diminished
function and may lead to cellular death.
