Where do we hold DNA inside the cell? - (ANSWER)Nucleus
What is it called when cell's commit suicide/programmed cell death? -
(ANSWER)Apoptosis
In carbon monoxide poisoning, what would we see and why? - (ANSWER)Tissue
damage d/t CO binding on hemoglobin preventing oxygen from being able to bind
to those sites, preventing tissue oxygenation
If ph is LOW, Bicarb is HIGH and CO2 is HIGH what condition do we have? -
(ANSWER)Respiratory acidosis
How do molecules get intracellular or extracellular? - (ANSWER)Water molecules
via osmosis, other molecules via hydrostatic pressure
If a patient is vomiting a lot, what would they develop and why? -
(ANSWER)Metabolic alkalosis - they are losing all gastric acid contents and holding
onto bicarb
To exam for neural tube defects in an amniocentesis, what are we looking at? -
(ANSWER)Alpha fetal protein
,Why would a newborn have type 1 DM? What kind of condition is it? -
(ANSWER)Autoimmune disorder
What symptoms will someone with Trisomy 21 have? - (ANSWER)Wide eyes,
webbed neck, short stature, flat low-set ears, low nasal bridge, IQ <70
What gene is responsible for the maintenance of all other cells? -
(ANSWER)Housekeeping genes
If a patient comes in with chronic wounds that aren't healing, what are we
thinking about? - (ANSWER)Diabetes - some underlying condition preventing
proper wound healing
If a newborn does not have enough collectin proteins what kind of infection
would they develop? - (ANSWER)A respiratory infection - pneumonia

negative mom with Rh positive baby
, Why does someone have rejection occur after an organ transplant? - (ANSWER)T
helper cells release cytokines, cytotoxins attack endothelial cells and cause tissue
damage
What is happening at a cellular level in a type II sensitivity reaction? -
(ANSWER)Antibodies bind antigens on the cell surface
What is an exotoxin? - (ANSWER)This is released by bacteria and causes you to
get sick
What cells fight fungal infections? - (ANSWER)Phagocytes, T lymphocytes
Why is it that when you are stressed you are more at risk to get sick? -
(ANSWER)Cortisol increases and causes T helper cells to be suppressed (cortisol
suppresses T1 cell)
Severely stressed patient - what will we see in lab work? -
(ANSWER)Hypoglycemia
What happens if we've got cellular metabolism that is just not working right -
what will happen? - (ANSWER)Filled up with waste
Least likely interleukin to stimulate endothelial proinflammatory stage? -
(ANSWER)IL4
