QuestionAnswer
What electrolytes does the low volume state have? ↑ total Na Serum Levels: ↓Chloride ↓K ↓ Calcium (bound to albumin) ↓serum Na (dilutional effect)
What pH does the low volume state have? Alkalotic (except diarrhea, RTA type II, and DKA) because Aldosterone dumps H+
What pH does vomiters have? Alkalotic because you vomit out H+; low volume state
What pH does diarrhea have? Acidosis because stool has bicarbonate from pancreas
What happened if pulse ↑ > 10 on standing? Hypovolemic shock
What happened if pulse ↑ > 5 on standing? Autonomic dysfunction
What are the symptoms of a low energy state in major systems? CNS: mental retardation, dementia; ↓ activity CV: heart failure, pericardial effusion MUSCLE: weakness, SOB, vasodilation, impotence, urinary retention, constipation
What are the symptoms of a low energy state in rapidly diving cells? Skin -> dry Cuticles -> brittle nails Hair-> alopecia Bone marrow --> suppressed Vascular endothelium --> breaks down, vasculitis Lungs --> infection, SOB Kidney --> PCT will feel the effect first GI --> N/V/D Bladder --> urinary retention Sperm --> Low count Germ cells --> predisposed to cancer Breast --> atrophic Endometrium --> amenorrhea
What are the most common signs of low energy state? Tachypnea and dyspnea
What are the most common symptoms of low energy state? Weakness and SOB
What are the most common infections of the low energy state? UTI and respiratory infections
What is the MCC of death in the low energy state? Heart failure
Explain all Restrictive lung diseases: Restrictive: Interstitial problem (non-bacterial); ↓ diffusion & perfusion 1. Small stiff lungs (↓ VC) 2. Trouble breathing IN ==> FEV1FVC >0.8 3. ABG: ↓pO2 ==> ↑RR, ↓pCO2, ↑pH 4. CXR: reticulo-nodular pattern, ground-glass appearance 5. Die of cor pulmonae 6. Ex: Neuromuscular diseases (breathing out is passive), drugs, autoimmune disease 7. Tx: Pressure support on ventilator, ↑O2, ↑RR, ↑inspiratory time, ↓TV
Explain all Obstructive lung diseases: Obstructive: Airway problem (bacterial) 1. Big mucus-filled lungs (↑RV, ↑Reid index = ↑airway thickness/airway lumen) 2. Trouble breathing OUT ==> FEV1/FVC < 0.8 3. ABG: ↑pCO2 ==> ↑RR, ↓pH 4. Die of bronchiectasis 5. Ex. COPD 6. Tx: Manipulate rate on ventilator, ↑RR, ↑expiratory time, ↑O2 only if needed
What symptoms does a "more likely to depolarize" state have? 1. Brain --> psychosis, seizures, jitteriness 2. Skeletal Muscle --> muscle spasms, cramps 3. Smooth Muscle --> weakness, SOB 4. Cardiac --> tachycardia, arrhythmias
What symptoms does a "less likely to depolarize" state have? 1. Brain --> lethargy, mental status changes, depression 2. Skeletal muscle --> weakness and SOB 3. Smooth muscle --> constipation 4. Cardiac --> hypotension, bradycardia
What is the humoral immune response? B cells and PMNs patrol the blood looking for bacteria
What is the cell-mediated immune response? T cell and macrophages patrol the tissues looking for non-bacteria
What are macrophages called in each area of the body? Blood --> Monocytes Brain --> Microglia Lung --> Type 1 pneumocytes Liver --> Kupffer cells Spleen --> RES cells Lymph --> Dendritic cells Kidney --> Mesangial cells Payer's patches ---> M cells Skin --> Langerhans cells Bone ==> Osteoclasts Connective tissue: 1. Histiocytes 2. Giant cells 3. Epithelioid cells
What is the CBC for every vasculitis? ↓ RBC, ↓ platelets, ↑WBC, ↑T cells, ↑ MP, and schistocytes, ↑ ESR
What is the time course of the inflammatory response? 1 hr. --> swelling Day 1 --> PMNs show up at 4.5 hours, predominate at 24 hours Day 3 --> PMNs peak Day 4 --> MP/T cells show up Day 7 --> MP/T cells peak, fibroblasts arrive Day 30 --> Fibroblasts peak Month 3-6 --> Fibroblasts complete fibrosis
What state does estrogen mimic? The neuromuscular disease state (estrogen is a muscle relaxant)
What does high GABA levels lead to? Bradycardia, lethargy, constipation, impotence, and memory loss
What is Necrosis? Non-programmed cell death = noisy, inflammation, nucleus destroyed first
What part of the cell is destroyed first in Necrosis? Nucleus
Non-programmed cell death Necrosis
What is Apoptosis? Programmed cell death = quiet, no inflammation, nucleus guides it -->
What is Pyknosis? Nucleus turns into blobs "pic blobs"
What is Karyohexis? Nucleus fragments
What is Karyolysis? Nucleus dissolves

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
