Advanced Pathophysiology NURS 5350 Exam 3 What is a cough? Protective reflex that helps clear the airways by an explosive expiration. Acute cough: 2-3 weeks Chronic cough: longer than 3 weeks. Causes: Post nasal drip, GERD, medications (ACE). Hypoventilation vs. Hyperventilation? Hypo: Alveolar ventilation is INADEQUATE: leads to RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS. Hyper: Alveolar ventilation EXCEEDS metabolic demands: Leads to RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS. What is clubbing? A pai...

Explain the cardiac structure and blood flow through chambers/valves. Blood travels from the right atrium, through the ______ valve, to the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, blood travels through the _____ valve and into the ____ artery tricuspid, pulmonic, pulmonary 1. Explain the card...

NURS 5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Ovarian cancer site of metastasis? Peritoneal surfaces, omentum (fold of peritoneum connecting the stomach with other abdominal organs), liver The increased NADH/NAD+ ratio in the liver from ethanol causes: 1. Pyruvate --> lactic acid, causing lactic acidosis 2. Oxaloacetate --> malate. This prevents gluconeogenesis and leads to hypoglycemia 3. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate --> glycerol 3- phosphate and combines with fatty acids to form triglyce...

NURS 5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Clinical implication for Beta blockers? (book) Atrial fibrillation, chronic left heart failure or reduced ejection fraction Beta Blockers (book) reduce myocardial demand. By blocking beta receptors. Myocardial contractility is a change in developed tension at a given resting fiber length, which is simply the ability of the heart muscle to shorten. At the molecular level, thin filaments of actin slide over thick filaments of myosin called the cr...

Cytokines and complements Phagocytic cells Neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells Neutraphils Associated with acute inflammation macrophages cells formed from monocytes that leave the blood stream Dendritic cells engulfs antig...

Advanced Patho NURS 5315 exam 1 action potential The process by which excitable cells transmit information from one to another. How is the action potential altered by a potassium imbalance? (Hyperkalemia) The ECF has more K+ ions. The membrane potential becomes more positive (hypopolarized). Cells become MORE excitable. T waves peak. QRS complexes widen. Causes dysrhythmias, weakness, paresthesia. {If membrane potential becomes equal to threshold potential cardiac standstill occurs}...
