AND DETAILED VERIFIED SOLUTIONS|GRADED A+|NEWEST
Describe how your body responds to an infection. - ANSWER T cells produce cytokines,
which stimulate B cells. B cells produce antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities. - ANSWER Mutations in genes
or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? - ANSWER Alterations of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions affect wellbeing. -
ANSWER (ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS - ANSWER Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II > vasoconstriction > release
aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water lost in urine and blood
pressure maintained.
DKA - ANSWER increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis - ANSWER retain H and excrete HCO3
Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which electrolyte? - ANSWER Potassium
West Nile Virus - ANSWER Transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Severe
signs and symptoms; high fever, headache and stiff neck

Cause and sign of spina bifida - ANSWER results from failure of neural tube to close. sign
- fluid filled sac on lower back.
hemophilia is more common in - ANSWER males
Prenatal exposure to alcohol includes - ANSWER ND-PAE, decreased brain function, FAS
Connective vs muscle tissue disorders - ANSWER Connective- RA, Scleroderma, Lupus
Muscle - MS, Muscular dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravia
Describe Lupus - ANSWER Inflammatory disorder characterized by joint pain and
butterfly rash
Describe Myasthenia Gravis - ANSWER It is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies

, eczema - ANSWER noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease characterized by redness,
blisters, scabs, and itching
decubitus ulcer - ANSWER sore caused by lying down for long periods of time
Fungal infections - ANSWER superficial, localized skin conditions or deep tissue infections
caused by exposure to spores
may or may not be transmitted
benign neoplasm - ANSWER noncancerous growths, stationary, distinct borders
malignant neoplasm - ANSWER uncontrolled new tissue growth, irregular borders,
spreads
Osteoporosis - ANSWER The loss of bone mass often due to age, causing the bones to
become porous, brittle, and easily fractured.
osteomalacia - ANSWER disease marked by softening of the bone caused by calcium and
vitamin D deficiency
myoglobin - ANSWER red pigment that stores oxygen in muscle cells
Bursa - ANSWER fluid-filled sac that allows for easy movement of one part of a joint over
another
Rickets - ANSWER a vitamin D deficiency in children, resulting in soft bones
