Terms in this set (124)
Potassium leaves the cell leaving behind negative
anions, cell hyperpolarizes making the cell more
Action Potential:
negative and therefore less excitable
Hypokalemia leads to
what complications
CC: Weakness, Smooth Muscle atony, parathesias
(pins and needles), Cardiac dysrythmias
Increased potassium will come into the cell and
make it more positive, depolarization will occur
taking the RMP closer to the Threshold potential.
Action Potential:
This makes cells more excitable.
Hyperkalemia lead to
what complications
CC: Peak T waves, Widening QRS Complex,
paralysis, paresthesia, weakness, cardiac
dysrhythmia
High calcium (Ca2+) decreases the cells
permeability to Na+ ions. Cell becomes less positive.
Hyper polarized and less excitable
Action Potential:
Hypercalcemia
CC: Weakness, hyporeflexia, fatigue, lethargy,
confusion, encephalopathy, Shorted QT segment,
Depressed widened T waves
, Less Calcium leads to more per i ability of Na+ ions
into the cell. The cell becomes more positive and
depolarizes. Closed to threshold potential means
Action Potential: more excitable cells.
Hypocalcemia
CC: Tetany (involuntary contraction of muscle),
hyperreflexia, circumoral paresthesia, seizures,
dysrythmias
CC: Decreased muscle size due to lack of exercise
Atrophy or bed ridden, reduced thymus in children as they
grow
Physiologic: Increased muscle size when exercising
Hypertrophy Pathologic: cardiomegaly in HTN, kidney growth
when one kidney is removed
Physiologic: Liver regeneration after resection,
uterine and mammary gland enlargement in
pregnancy
Hyperplasia
Pathologic: Endometrial lining in response to
estrogen (Endometrial Cancer)
Pathologic: Chronic Smokers Columnar cells to
Squamous cells, Barrett Esophagus (Normal
Metaplasia
squamous epithelial cells replaced by columnar
cells) in response to heart burn, GERD
Dysplastic cells of the cervix during a papsmear, pre
Dysplasia
cancerous
Sickle Cell Anemia can Hypoxic injury
cause what type of cell
injury?
A decrease in the Iron Deficiency Anemia
production of red blood Leukemia
cells happens with what
type of conditions?
