26) How does glaucoma cause blindness?
Give this one a try later!
, ______________________ is a condition where the intraocular pressures are above
the normal12-20mmHg maintained by the aqueous fluid
- prolonged or chronic can cause death to the retinal ganglions and the
optic nerve degenerates w/loss of perish vision followed by a central vision
loss or impairment
8. What is the pap test for?
Give this one a try later!
To screen for the HPV virus and for abnormal cervical cells that can cause
cervical CA. Virtually all cervical cancer is caused by infection with specific
types of HPV, which infects basal skin cells and commonly causes warts.
There are more than 120 HPV types, but only about 40 can infect human
mucosal tissue, and only a few (HPV16, -18, -31, and -45) are associated with
the highest risk for developing cervical, anogenital, and penile cancer.
Early oncogenic HPV infection is readily detected by the Papanicolaou
(Pap) test, an examination of cervical epithelial scrapings. Early detection of
cellular atypia in a Pap test alerts healthcare providers to the possibility of
cervical carcinoma in situ, which can be effectively treated. The Pap test is
probably the most effective cancer screening test developed to date.
20) What is the function of the arachnoid villi?
Give this one a try later!
, - protrude from the arachnoid space through the dura mater and lies w/in
blood floe of the sinuses
- CSF is absorbed by a pressure gradient between arachnid villi and
cerebral sinuses
- villi are one-way valves from CSF into the bloodstream, prevents blood
from coming into subarachnoid space
21. How much of the cardiac output does the brain get?
Give this one a try later!
- the brain gets about 20% of __________ __________, which is approx 800-
1000ml/min of blood flow
- this is the #1 regulator for CNS blood flow (vasodilator)
6. What is meant by tumor cell markers? (Mod 8a - p372)
Give this one a try later!
- biochemical markers that are sensitive to specific types of tumors and are
used to screen, diagnosed, assess the prognosis and treatment, and
monitor reoccurrences.
found in the blood, CSF and urine.
- produced by benign or malignant tumors
- include hormones, enzymes, genes, antigens, antibodies
example: Liver and Germ cell tumors - secrete alpha fetoprotein into
blood; Prostate Tumors secrete PSA into blood stream
