1. Analyze why ulcerative colitis is hypothesized to be caused by genetic or immune factors 
rather than infectious agents. 
Although the exact cause of ulcerative colitis has not been determined, genetic and immune 
factors are thought to play a role. Inflammation can be caused by commensal or 
pathogenic enteric microorganisms that have increased mucosal adherence and invasion in 
addition to the continued activation of T cells. Because of the occurrence of ulcerative 
colitis in identical twi...

1. Distinguish between respiratory and cardiac causes of SOB. What is the physiologic rationale 
for serum test measurements of brain and atrial natriuetic peptide to determine the cause of 
SOB? 
Respiratory causes of shortness of breath include chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases 
like emphysema and bronchitis where the airway has increased mucus secretion or 
enlargement of gas exchange airways and destruction of alveolar walls. Asthma is also a 
respiratory caus...
1. Using Laplace’s law, show how an aneurysm develops. Think of the hemodynamics involved 
In Laplace’s law, the wall tension is directly related to the product of intraventricular 
pressure and internal radius and inversely to the wall thickness. The relationship can be 
calculated by Laplace’s equation which is T = (p x r)/ µm. T is wall tension, p is 
intraventricular pressure, r is the internal radius of the sphere, and µm is the wall 
thickness. This is interpreted as the amount of ...
A neonate has a harsh, loud, systolic murmur shortly after birth. This is best heard at the left 
lower sternal border. The neonate is acyanotic and has no other symptoms. What type of 
congenital heart disorder does this infant have? Explain why the neonate is not cyanotic. When 
could the infant become cyanotic? 
This infant has a ventricular septal defect (VSD). This is an abnormal communication 
between the ventricles. The VSD allows a large amount of shunting from left to right. The 
shunte...
Module 13 Assignment 
1. Briefly explain how does diabetes Mellitus contribute to the development or acceleration of 
coronary heart disease? To renal failure? 
Chronic hyperglycemia increases the production of reactive oxygen species and the 
detrimental effects of oxidative stress. Increased platelet adhesion and decreased 
fibrinolysis promote thrombus formation and vascular occlusion. Macrovascular disease is 
a major cause of morbidity and mortality especially among those with diabetes. The...
1. Joe Smith has had his spleen removed following a motor vehicle accident. What physiologic 
changes will develop as a result of this? 
The spleen is not absolutely necessary for life or adequate hematologic function, however, 
its absence does have effects on the body. Leukocytosis often occurs after splenomegaly 
suggesting that the spleen has some control over the rate of proliferation of leukocyte stem 
cells in the bone marrow or their release into the bloodstream. Iron levels may also 
de...
1. Mr. Bowers has a temperature of 101° F. His physician chooses not to treat the temperature 
unless it rises above 101.5° F. Why? 
Fever production is a response by the body to infectious processes. The elevated 
temperature kills many microorganisms and has adverse effects on the growth and 
replication of others. A higher body temperature also reduces levels of iron, zinc, and 
copper which the body needs for bacterial replication. Since fever is a beneficial response to 
infection, suppre...
