1 of 120
Term
When a patient has cancer, the growing tumor develops its own blood
supply, called _________________. This "steals" blood from the patient, which
leaves them undernourished and ill, known as ________.
Give this one a try later!
angiogenesis, hypertrophy hemangiogenesis, metastasis
vasculogenesis, apoptosis angiogenesis, cachectic
Don't know?

,Term
An oxygen-deprived cell will die early. What is this term called?
Give this one a try later!
scids, this person does not have an
ischemia leads to infarction
immune system
barrett's esophagus
- due to acid reflux that causes anaplasia
dysplasia in the esophagus
Don't know?
3 of 120
Term
A common, low V/Q disorder is pneumonia. Why would it be
considered that?
Give this one a try later!
- cannot convert ammonia to urea, causes hepatic encephalopathy
- cannot breakdown androgens
- cannot breakdown cortisol, could lead to Cushing's
- cannot breakdown aldosterone, leads to edema
, - restrictive disorder
- debris collects in lungs (from microbe) and blocks off alveoli
- these collapse (called atelectasis)
- some become stiff (consolidation)
- essentially, no air can come in
- due to venous backflow, blood becomes stasis in the spleen, which causes an
abnormal amount of breakdown of ALL formed elements (pancytopenia)
- leads to anemia and infection risk
- edema, due to retained Na and H2O
- hyperkalemia, due to no aldosterone affect
- hypocalcemia, due to no Vit D activation
- metabolic acidosis, because no production of HCO3
- anemia, lack of erythropoietin production
Don't know?
4 of 120
Term
A patient comes into the ER after vomiting profusely all night. They
have slow, shallow breaths. What might this indicate?
Give this one a try later!
- metabolic acidosis, due to the loss - metabolic alkalosis, due to the
of bicarbonate ions extreme loss of metabolic acids
, - respiratory alkalosis, due to - respiratory acidosis, due to
hyperventilation from pain hypoventilation from sedation
Don't know?
5 of 120
Term
Myasthenia gravis is caused by an autoimmune disorder that targets
_____________. What does the treatment include, and why does it work?
Give this one a try later!
- acetylcholine receptors (they are destroyed)
- give anti-cholinesterase drugs, so that way ALL of acetylcholine reaches
receptors
thyroid storm
- extreme tachycardia, HF, shock, 103-105, agitation, delirium, seizures
- due to very high metabolism
Lab: T4 high, TSH low
- little urine (oliguria, due to kidneys failing)
- dilute, low specific gravity, kidneys cannot concentrate urine
- SIADH
- large, over-secretion of ADH
- causes body to hold on to a ton of water (oliguria)
- fluid volume overload, causes water to shift into tissues
