Questions and Answers 100% A+ Graded
Describe how your body responds to an infection. - CORRECT ANSWER-T cells produce cytokines,
which stimulate B cells. B cells produce antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities. - CORRECT ANSWER-Mutations in
genes or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? - CORRECT ANSWER-Alterations of
DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions affect wellbeing. - CORRECT
ANSWER-(ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS - CORRECT ANSWER-Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II > vasoconstriction > release
aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water lost in urine and blood
pressure maintained.
DKA - CORRECT ANSWER-increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis - CORRECT ANSWER-retain H and excrete HCO3
Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which electrolyte? - CORRECT ANSWER-Potassium
West Nile Virus - CORRECT ANSWER-Transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito.
Severe signs and symptoms; high fever, headache and stiff neck

Describe Lupus - CORRECT ANSWER-Inflammatory disorder characterized by joint pain and
butterfly rash
Describe Myasthenia Gravis - CORRECT ANSWER-It is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies

eczema - CORRECT ANSWER-noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease characterized by redness,
blisters, scabs, and itching
decubitus ulcer - CORRECT ANSWER-sore caused by lying down for long periods of time
Fungal infections - CORRECT ANSWER-superficial, localized skin conditions or deep tissue
infections caused by exposure to spores
may or may not be transmitted
