Describe the Stress Response Neural Recognition Pathway?
Give this one a try later!
Inability of the right ventricle to provide adequate blood flow into the pulmonary
circulation.
Results from an increase in left ventricular filling pressure that is reflected back
into the pulmonary circulation and hypoxic pulmonary disease.
SS: jugular vein distention, peripheral edema, hepatosplenomegaly.
Treatment: Same as left side heart failure.
, Limbic System->Brainstem (locus ceruleus)-> Norepinephrine (increased
arousal, increased vigilance, increased anxiety).
Norepinephrine goes to sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and adrenal
medulla which releases epinephrine.
TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE HORMONE R/T..
-Failure of feedback systems
-Dysfunction of an endocrine gland (inability to produce hormone, inability to
convert precursors to active hormone, excessive or inadequate hormone
production.
Inability of the heart to generate adequate cardiac output to perfuse vital tissues.
SS: Dyspnea, orthopnea, cough of frothy sputum, pulmonary edema.

What kind of Anemia is Folate (folic acid) deficiency Anemia?
Give this one a try later!
Microcytic/hypochromic Microtyic/hypochromic
Hemolytic Macrocytic/Megaloblastic

What is Dyslipidemia in regards to CAD?
Give this one a try later!
Inability of the heart to supply the body with blood-borne nutrients, despite
adequate blood volume and normal or elevated myocardial contractility
Causes: anemia, septicemia, hyperthyroidism, beriberi.
Any vascular disorder that narrows or occludes the coronary arteries.
Results in an imbalance between coronary supply of blood and myocardial
demand for oxygen.
Most common cause: Atherosclerosis
Risk factors:
Non-modifiable: advanced age, family history, male, women after menopause.
Modifiable: Dyslipidemia, hypertension, increase in myocardial demand,
cigarette smoking (vasoconstriction and increase in LDL, decrease in HDL),
diabetes and insulin resistance, obesity, atherogenic diet (saltm fats, transfats).
, Dietary fat packaged into chylomicrons for absorption in the small intestine.
Chylomicrons: transports lipids eaten from the intestine to the liver and
peripheral cells.
Triglycerides: may be removed and stored by adipose tissue or used by
muscle as energy source.
LDL: responsible for delivery of cholesterol to the tissues.
HDL: (bulldozers): responsible for "reverse cholesterol transport"
Recurrent episodes of binge eating:
-Eating much more rapidly than normal.
-Eating until feeling uncomfortably full.
-Eating large amounts when not physically hungry.
-Eating alone due to large amounts of food.
-Binge eating is not associated with compensatory behaviors (self-induced
vomiting).

Term
What is systolic heart failure?
Give this one a try later!
Caused by altered hemodynamics
Local dilation or outpouching of a
from an underlying primary disease
vessel wall or cardiac chamber.
or drugs.
False (clot)
Complicated
Dissection (ripping and tearing)
