GCU 631 Exam Questions with Correct Answers
Somaji effect
Occurs in diabetics; body reacts to hypoglycemia; wake up w/ hyperglycemia even though
they haven't eaten anything; overcompensating
Proteases
What will get everything across the cellular membrane; transportation across the membrane
lipid bilayer
Stops water soluable molecules from crossing over; not water permeable
absolute refractory period
time during which another action potential is impossible; it doesn't matter what stimulus is
used for the heart, nothing can happen during this time
hydrostatic pressure
This is what we need to get fluid to move from the arterial end of a capillary into the
interstitial fluid
Metaplasia
A cell that adapts by replacing one type of cell with another type of cell
Hyperplasia
the enlargement of an organ or tissue because of an abnormal increase in the number of cells
in the tissues; ie a woman's breast getting bigger during pregnancy
Hemosiderosis
,abnormal increase of iron in blood; ie after a lot of blood transfusions, our bodies/organs start
to accumulate too much iron
Hypernatremia
Cells are shrinking, leading to confusion; convulsions; cerebral hemorrhage; coma
respiratory acidosis, non compensated
7.28 pH, 28 bicarb, 60 CO2
Turner Syndrome
X-linked chromosome disorder; genetic disorders; short stature, webbed neck
Epigenetics
Why one twin gets asthma and the other does not
AB blood type
If the patient has A & B alleles
Eosinophils
The cells we send in if we have a parasitic invasion
H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
Do not use for wound care, it kills healthy tissue
Why we have different routes for vaccines
Because they affect lymphocytes differently
complement system
Lacking in neonates without good inflammatory system
, Endomorphins
Endogenous opioid
A-Deltas
The nerve fibers that transmit our pain impulses
Sodium (hyponatremia)
If you have a patient that has lithium toxicity, what electrolyte do you expect to be off?
They mimic dopamine
Why do antipsychotic drugs cause tardive dyskinesia?
Serotonin
Depressed patients have a decrease in which receptor binding neurotransmitter
Depression
What type of mood disorders generally have disorders in the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal
system
How do we link major depression and cortisol secretion?
Stress > increases cortisol > cortisol > causes inflammation > inflammation > causes
depression
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
People with schizophrenia lack what neurotransmitter?
Subarachnoid
With a positive Kernug & Berzinski's, what kind of bleed do we suspect?
