Describe how your body responds to an infec on. - T cells produce cytokines, which s mulate B
cells. B cells produce an bodies.
Iden fy role of DNA changes in congenital abnormali es. - Muta ons in genes or
chromosomal abnormali es
How does development disrupts congenital abnormali es? - Altera ons of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disrup ons affect wellbeing. - (ex) Fluid
and electrolyte shi*s can cause n/v or dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS - Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II > vasoconstric on > release
aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water lost in urine and blood
pressure maintained.
DKA - increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis - retain H and excrete HCO3
Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which electrolyte? - Potassium
, West Nile Virus - Transmi:ed through the bite of an infected mosquito. Severe signs and
symptoms; high fever, headache and s ff neck
Lyme disease - Tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.
Erythema infec osum - a febrile upper respiratory illness in a child followed by the sudden
appearance of red, flushed cheeks, "fi*h disease"
Obesity ad diabetes are risk factors for having a child with _____. - Spina bifida
Trousseau's sign - arm/carpal spasm associated with hypocalcemia
Cause and sign of spina bifida - results from failure of neural tube to close. sign - fluid filled sac
on lower back.
hemophilia is more common in - males
Prenatal exposure to alcohol includes - ND-PAE, decreased brain func on, FAS
Connec ve vs muscle ssue disorders - Connec ve- RA, Scleroderma, Lupus
Muscle - MS, Muscular dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravia
Describe Lupus - Inflammatory disorder characterized by joint pain and bu:erfly rash
Describe Myasthenia Gravis - It is an autoimmune disorder where an bodies a:ack own Ach
receptors. This causes weakness of skeletal muscles over the course of the day, along with
ptosis, double vision, and difficulty swallowing.
, derma s - inflamma on of the skin
eczema - noninfec ous, inflammatory skin disease characterized by redness, blisters, scabs,
and itching
decubitus ulcer - sore caused by lying down for long periods of me
Fungal infec ons - superficial, localized skin condi ons or deep ssue infec ons caused by
exposure to spores
may or may not be transmi:ed
benign neoplasm - noncancerous growths, sta onary, dis nct borders
malignant neoplasm - uncontrolled new ssue growth, irregular borders, spreads
Osteoporosis - The loss of bone mass o*en due to age, causing the bones to become porous,
bri:le, and easily fractured.
osteomalacia - disease marked by so*ening of the bone caused by calcium and vitamin D
deficiency
myoglobin - red pigment that stores oxygen in muscle cells
Bursa - fluid-filled sac that allows for easy movement of one part of a joint over another
