Reduced oxygenation of cells in tissues.

Hypoxia
,-secreted from adrenal cortex
-a potent vasopressor
-inhibits renin release
-stimulates ADH secretion and thirst
-increases NaCl reabsorption by collecting ducts, Loop of Henle, and distal tubules
Give this one a go later!
Aldosterone
A chronic inflammatory disorder of the bronchial mucosa that causes bronchial
hyperresponsiveness, constriction of the airways, and variable airflow obstruction that
is reversible.
Give this one a go later!
Asthma
Are masses of crystals, protein, or other substances that are a common cause of
urinary tract obstruction in adults. Usuallly made of calcium oxylate or phosphate,
struvite, and uric acid.
Give this one a go later!
Renal calculi
,An infection of the lower respiratory tract caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa,
or parasites
-6th leading causes of death in the U.S.
-responsible for more disease and death than any other infection
Give this one a go later!
Pneumonia
In asthmatic response it activates polymorphonucleocytes that contribute to a more
exaggerated inflammatory response.
Give this one a go later!
IL-8
Continues from the Bowman space and has an initial convoluted segment (pars
convolute) and then a straight segment (pars recta) that descends toward the medulla
. Consists of one layer of cuboidal cells with a surface layer of microvilli that increases
reabsorptive surface area. The only surface inside the nephron where the cells are
covered with microvilli (a brush border).
Give this one a go later!
Proximal tubule
, A hairpin-shaped loop composed of thick and thin portions of a descending segment
that goes into the medulla; where the proximal tubule joins.
Give this one a go later!
Loop of Henle
Tiny pores which permit some air to pass through the septa from alveolus to alveolus,
promoting collateral ventilation and even distribution of air among the alveoli.
Give this one a go later!
Pors of Kohn
Inspired irritants result in airway inflammation with infiltration of neutrophils,
macrophages, and lymphocytes into the bronchial wall.
Give this one a go later!
Patho of Chronic Bronchitis
Antigen exposure to bronchial mucosa activates dendritic cells to present the antigen
to CD4+ Tcells, which differentiate into Th2 cells. These cells release numerous
cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-8 & IL-13.
