Inadequate blood supply to an organ, especially the heart muscles, leading to tissue damage - ANSWER Ischemia 2.

A range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including hypertension and ischemic heart disease - ANSWER Cardiovascular disease 6. A genetic mutation that alters the amino acid sequence in a protein, potentially affecting its function - ANSWER Missense mutation 7. The natural process of shrinking or wasting away of a body part or tissue, such as the thymus gland changes during childhood - ANSWER Physiologic atrophy 8. Cellular organelles that generate energy and play a crucial role in metabolism - ANSWER Mitochondria 9. Deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule carrying genetic instructions for growth, development, and reproduction - ANSWER DNA 10. A chronic condition resulting from the pancreas producing little or no insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels - ANSWER Type one diabetes mellitus 11. Cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis - ANSWER Ribosomes 12. The process by which cells generate new proteins, essential for various cellular functions - ANSWER Protein synthesis 13. A non-invasive growth that does not spread to other parts of the body - ANSWER Benign 14. Disorders caused by missing, extra, or irregular portions of chromosomal DNA, leading to genetic disorders - ANSWER Chromosomal abnormalities 15. A cell signaling protein involved in inflammation and immune system functions - ANSWER Tumor necrosis factor alpha 16. respiratory zone - ANSWER respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveoli 17. What does the Respiratory Zone do? - ANSWER Allow inhaled oxygen to diffuse into the lung capillaries in exchange for CO2 18. Conducting Zone - ANSWER nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles 19. What does conducting zone do? - ANSWER conducts air to respiratory zone, humidifies, warms, and filters air 20. Most common cancer mutation? - ANSWER Acquired 21. What does anticholinergic mean? - ANSWER blockade of muscarinic receptors - This inhibits nerve impulses responsible for involuntary muscle movements and various bodily functions 22. What does dopamine do? - ANSWER influences movement, learning, attention, and emotion. Dopamine enables neurons in your brain to communicate and control movement. 23. What does messenger RNA do? - ANSWER Transcribes information from the DNA in the nucleus and carries it to the cytoplasm, and then to the ribosome. Single-stranded, intermediate molecule. Carries the instructions for making proteins. 24. What do ribosomes do? - ANSWER Make proteins (protein synthesis) 25.

Atropine Neurotransmitters - ANSWER Atropine is a muscarinic receptor antagonist that is used to inhibit the effects of excessive vagal activation on the heart, which is manifested as sinus bradycardia and AV nodal block. Therefore, atropine can temporarily revert sinus bradycardia to normal sinus rhythm and reverse AV nodal blocks by removing vagal influences. 28. alpha adreneric receptors - ANSWER 29.

Define stroke - ANSWER interruption of cerebral blood supply cause by hemorrhage or occlusion 32. Types of stroke - ANSWER ischemic and hemorrhagic 33. ischemic stroke - ANSWER interruption of brain blood flow caused by thrombus, embolus or plaque; most common type 34. hemorrhagic stroke - ANSWER occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures; also known as a bleed; most deadly type 35. Lacunar stroke - ANSWER a stroke resulting from occlusion of small vessels. 36. intracerebral hemorrhage - ANSWER bleeding into the brain as a result of a ruptured blood vessel within the brain 37. subarachnoid hematoma - ANSWER usually the result of a cerebral aneurysm; main symptom severe headache. 38. Stroke symptoms - ANSWER Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body •Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, or trouble walking •Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding •Sudden trouble seeing •Sudden severe headache 39. early stroke warning signs - ANSWER disorientation and mild weakness 40. Modifiable risk factors for stroke - ANSWER smoking cessation, increasing dietary fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, limit alcohol ,a dn avoid illicit drugs 41. stroke symptoms for cerebral cortex, and basal ganglia - ANSWER Headache, ataxia, aphasia, hemiparesis, hemisensory deficits, and vision field deficit. 42. stoke symptoms for vertebral Avery posterior cerebral artery, cerebellar - ANSWER ALOC, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, ataxia, cranial nerve paralysis
