370 Exam 2 Questions
Cancer patho - ANS caused by abnormal proliferation of cells
Goal of cancer treatment - ANS cure, control, palliation
Cancer risk factors - ANS heredity, chemicals, radiation, physical irritation, diet & viruses
two categories of neoplasms - ANS benign and malignant
Benign - ANS Does not spread, not dangerous
Malignent - ANS Grows uncontrolled and invades other tissues
Cancer treatment options - ANS surgery, radiation, chemotherapy
Phase 1 of Cell turning into Malignant tumor - ANS Initiation: DNA damage and cell mutation after
exposure to carcinogenic agent
Phase 2 of Cell turning into Malignant tumor - ANS Promotion: activation of oncogenes by promoter
agent
Phase 3 of Cell turning into Malignant tumor - ANS Progression: cells bunch together to create a
malignant tumor
Carcinogens - ANS Cancer causing agents
Shock patho - ANS increased sympathetic outflow causes the release of epinephrine and
norepinephrine neurotransmitters (Causes tachycardia).
4 types of shock - ANS Hypovolemic
Cardiogenic
, Distributive
Obstructive
Distributive Shock patho - ANS Loss of blood vessel tone leading to vasodilation and movement of
blood volume out of circulation
Distributive Shock causes - ANS vasodilation, inflammatory mediators, loss of sympathetic vascular
tone
Types of Distributive Shock - ANS neurogenic, anaphylactic, septic
Neurogenic Shock patho - ANS injury to vasomotor center in the brain stem or sympathetic
messages sent to the blood vessels
Neurogenic Shock causes - ANS hypoxia, brain injury, spinal injury, drug induced
Neurogenic Shock manifestations - ANS normal or slow heart rate
dry and warm skin
Septic Shock patho - ANS Severe sepsis that results in hypotension that does not respond to
treatment
Septic Shock causes - ANS infectious agent leading to sepsis that progresses to shock
Septic shock treatment - ANS broad spectrum antibiotics and IV fluids
Anaphylactic Shock patho - ANS systemic allergic reaction- vasodilation and increased capillary
permeability
Anaphylactic Shock causes - ANS food, latex, medications, insect stings
Anaphylactic Shock treatment - ANS epinephrine, antihistamines, corticosteroids
