RASMUSSEN PATHO UPDATED ACTUAL FINAL PAPER
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔What is the treatment for Syphilis? - ✔✔Penicillin or other antibiotic (ABX)
✔✔What is condylomata acuminata and how does one prevent it? - ✔✔-VIRAL
-Benign growth caused by group of viruses called HPVs
-Prevented by getting the VACCINE and practicing safe sex
✔✔What is Trichomoniasis? - ✔✔-An Sti causes by Trichomonas Vaginalis( a parasite)
-Cause white or yellow-green vaginal discharge
✔✔What is primary endocrine disorder - ✔✔dysfunction caused by the endocrine
gland/Organ itself
-target and pituitary hormones are opposite
-Hypothyroidism caused by problem
✔✔what does the pitutary gland do? - ✔✔secretes TSH,
-Its the growth hormones, ADCH
✔✔What does Thyroid-stimulating hormone do (TSH) - ✔✔stimulate t3, t4
-regulate growth, development and metabolism
✔✔Cortisol - ✔✔stress hormone released by the adrenal cortex
-
✔✔Aldosterone - ✔✔"salt-retaining hormone" which promotes the retention of Na+ by
the kidneys. na+ retention promotes water retention, which promotes a higher blood
volume and pressure
-(RAAS)
✔✔parathyroid hormone (PTH) - ✔✔increases blood calcium levels
✔✔Calcitonin - ✔✔Lowers blood calcium levels
✔✔antidiuretic hormone (ADH) - ✔✔influences the absorption of water by kidney
tubules
✔✔Oxytocin - ✔✔A hormone released by the posterior pituitary that stimulates uterine
contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during breastfeeding.
✔✔andrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - ✔✔stimulates secretion from adrenal cortex
-Stimulates cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenal androgens
, ✔✔Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) - ✔✔Promotes secretion of follicle-
stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
✔✔What is Secondary endocrine disorder? - ✔✔dysfunction caused by abnormal
pituitary activity (brain)
-Target and pituitary hormones are the same, either both high or both low
Hypothyroidism caused by problem with the brain
✔✔What is caused by primary hypo or hyper hormones? - ✔✔Primary Hypo: pituitary
hormone is high but the target hormone is low
Primary Hypo: pituitary hormone is low but the target hormone is high
-Low pituitary hormone causes excessive release of that hormone
✔✔The Endocrine system uses which type of feedback system to regulate hormones? -
✔✔Negative feedback (most common)
✔✔What is Diabetes insipidus (DI) and manifestations (dry inside) - ✔✔Insufficient
secretion of antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)
-causes high urine output (polyuria 15l/day)
-High Na+
-causes dehydration
✔✔What is SIADH and what are the manifestations? (too many letters) - ✔✔syndrome
of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
-low urine output
-low Na+
-Excess fluid
✔✔What hormone is low or elevated by hypo or hyperthyroidism? - ✔✔Hypo: low t3, t4
Hyper:high t3, t4
✔✔What is goiter and what is caused by it? - ✔✔-Visible enlargement of the thyroid
gland
-Caused by iodine deficiency
✔✔What is Hashimoto's thyroiditis caused by ? - ✔✔-Hypothyroidism
-autoimmune destruction of thyroid gland
✔✔What is a rare complication of hypothyroidism and how is it diagnosed? -
✔✔myxedema coma/crisis
-Serum thyroid hormone will be decreased and TSH level will be elevated
