ATP production/cellular respiration, function of mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell
That portion of the endoplasmic Rough ER
reticulum studded with ribosomes.
That portion of the endoplasmic Smooth ER
reticulum that is free of ribosomes.
A tendency to maintain a balanced or Homeostasis
constant internal state; the regulation
of any aspect of body chemistry, such
as blood glucose, around a particular
level
increase in muscle/tissue size, Hypertrophy
excessive development
the wasting away of a body organ or atrophy
tissue; any progressive decline or
failure; to waste away
an inadequate blood supply to an Ischemia
organ or part of the body, especially
the heart muscles.
Any observations made by using your S/S of Objective Data
senses (pts. blood pressure, physical
findings, and lab values)
Any symptoms pt. complains of, what S/S of Subjective Data
the pt. feels (pain)
Neurotransmitter secreted by the Epinephrine
adrenal medulla in response to stress.
Also known as adrenaline.
hormone secreted by the kidney; it Renin
raises blood pressure by influencing
vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood
vessels)
-reduced concentration of plasma What causes edema?
proteins
-increased permeability of capillary wall
-increased venous pressure
-blockage of lymph vessels
, edema, dysnpea (trouble breathing), Signs and symptoms of fluid excess
hyptertension (high bp), JVD, pulse
increase and bounding, weight
increase
Dry mucous membranes, decreased Signs and symptoms of dehydration
skin turgor, Low BP, Low pulse,
fatigue, Increased HCT, decreased
mental function, confusion, and loss of
consciousness
- muscle twitches/tetany S/S of hypocalcemia
- hyperactive DTRs
- positive Chvostek's sign (tapping
on the facial nerve triggering facial
twitching)
- positive Trousseau's sign
(hand/finger spasms with sustained
blood pressure cuff inflation)
- seizures
Diffusion of water through a selectively Osmosis
permeable membrane
Movement of molecules from an Diffusion
area of higher concentration to an
area of lower concentration.
Energy-requiring process that moves active transport
material across a cell membrane
against a concentration difference
cell shrinks and can die Effect of hypertonic solution
cell swells and can burst effect of a hypotonic solution
A form of acquired immunity in active immunity
which the body produces its own
antibodies against disease-causing
antigens.
An individual does not produce his or passive immunity
her own antibodies, but rather
receives them directly from another
source, such as mother to infant
through breast milk
natural infection, vaccines, Examples of active immunity
IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG Examples of passive immunity
crossing placenta, antitoxin,
humanized monoclonal antibody
Immunity that is present only after acquired immunity
exposure and is highly specific.
