What is the body's defense against Antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, cysteine,
ROS? glutathione, albumin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin)
How are free radicals produced? 1. Normal cellular respiration
2. Absorption of extreme energy sources (radiation,
UV light)
3. Metabolism of exogenous chemicals, drugs, and
pesticides
4. Transition of metals
5. Nitric oxide acting like a chemical mediator and a
free radical

action potential Process of conducting an impulse. Activates the
neuron --> the neuron depolarizes --> then
repolarizes
Threshold potential Point at which depolarization must reach in order to
initiate an action potential
Hypokalemia and action potentials HYPERpolarized (more negative, ex. -100). Less
excitable. Decreased neuromuscular excitability:
weakness, smooth muscle atony, paresthesia, cardiac
dysrhythmias
Hyperkalemia and action potentials HYPOpolarized (more positive, ex: closer to 0). More
excitable. Peaked T waves.
When resting membrane potential=threshold
potential, it is BAD = cardiac standstill, paresthesia,
paralysis
Hypocalcemia and action potentials Increased permeability to Na+. More excitable. Tetany,
hyperreflexia, circumoral paresthesia, seizures,
dysrhythmias.
Hypercalcemia and action potentials Decreased permeability to Na+. Less excitable.
Weakness, hyporeflexia, fatigue, lethargy, confusion,
encephalopathy, depressed T waves
Atrophy Occurs as a result of decrease in work load, pressure,
use, blood supply, nutrition, hormonal stimulation, or
nervous stimulation. Once the cell has decreased in
size, it has now compensated for decreased blood
supply, nerve supply, nutrient supply, hormonal
supply, and has achieved new homeostasis. Cells are
alive but have diminished function and may lead to
cellular death.
