CARDIAC, PULMONARY, HEMATOLOGY,
RENAL
Acid/ base disturbance- COPD - answer-chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.
Causes air trapping. Increasing CO2 retention and respiratory acidosis.
acute bronchitis - answer-infection and inflammation of bronchial tubes (bronchi)
AFTERLOAD (arteries) - answer-resistance to left ventricular ejection (systole)
Increased: COPD, hypertension, valve dx (all r/t pulm htn)
Decreased: hypotension, vasodilation (shock)
Albuterol - answer-Beta 2 Agonist, Short-Acting
Aldosterone - answer-Hormone that stimulates the kidney to retain sodium ions
and water
anatomy and physiology of kidney - answer-consists of 3 distinct areas:
*Located in posterior region of the abd cavity behind peritoneum.
cortex (outer)
medulla (middle)
renal pelvis (inner)
Anemia - answer-A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in
hemoglobin, or in total volume.
anemia due to gastrectomy - answer-Iron def anemia is major cause after this
Removal of stomach often leads to marked decrease in production of gastric
acid. This acid is necessary to convert dietary iron to a form that is more readily
absorbed by the duodenum
Anticholinergic drugs for asthma - answer-Atrovent & Spiriva both prevent the
muscle bands around the airways from tightening thus reduce in exacerbation
Albuterol is short acting
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) - answer-promotes retention of water by kidneys
aortic stenosis - answer-calcification/ narrowing of aortic valve cusps that
restricts forward flow from left ventricle to aorta (during systole)
crescendo- decrescendo systolic heart murmur
Asthma - answer-A chronic allergic disorder characterized by episodes of severe
breathing difficulty, coughing, and wheezing.
T2HIGH eosinophilic inflammation
Airway responsiveness
AV valves - answer-tricuspid- right side/ pulmonary
, bicuspid- left side/ aortic side
Blood flow of heart - answer-Enters the right side inferior/superior vena cava-
emptying deoxygenated blood to right atrium- right ventricle, through tricuspid
valve, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery to lungs (where it is oxygenated).
Pulmonary vein empties oxygen rich blood to left atrium/ left ventricle, through
mitral valve, aortic valve, aorta---->to the body.
blood hydrostatic pressure - answer-The pressure exerted by the water in the
blood against the inside wall of a capillary of the bowmans capsule. essential for
blood pressure in the glomerulus.
Bownman's capsule - answer-cup shaped structure surrounding the glomerulus
BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) - answer-Age-associated prostate gland
enlargement that can cause urination difficulty.
non-cancerous
BPH treatment - answer--Alpha blockers [relax bladder neck muscles in the
prostate making urination easier]; alfuzosin (Uroxatral), doxazosin (Cardura),
tamsulosin (Flomax), and silodosin (Rapaflo),
-5-alpha reductase inhibitors [shrink your prostate by preventing hormonal
changes that cause prostate growth]; finasteride (Proscar), dutasteride (Avodart)
bronchioles function - answer-passage of air to alveoli- gas exchange
calcium binding - answer-Binding of calcium to subunit of troponin
Induces conformation change in troponin
Troponin-tropomyosin complex moved
Myosin binding sites of actin exposed
cardiac contractility (inotropic) - answer-Force generated at any given end
diastolic volume
Increased:
sympathetic stimulation (anxiety, increased thyroxine)
Decreased:
low ATP levels (inschemia, hypoxia, acidosis)
Cardiac Output (CO) - answer-volume of blood ejected by each ventricle per
minute
CO= HRx SV
Causes of heart failure - answer-"MI, afib, infection, shock/trauma, thyroid
disease, PE, excess salt, medication noncompliance, beta blockers, NSAIDs"
Over time, reduces contractility
chronic bronchitis - answer-inflammation of the bronchi persisting over a long
time
3 or more months atleast 2 years
collecting duct - answer-reabsorption of water/ secretion
