Cards

Term

 

 

cytoplasm (aka protoplasm) 

Definition
The  is the "goo" inside the cell around the nucleus that contains RNA and DNA (that can actually contain memory)
Term

 

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

 

Definition
Within the cytoplasm is mitochondria where energy is created and stored as _____________
Term

Lysosome (protolytic)

Definition
 Tears apart the proteins. Old proteins are processed and recycled by the _______________.
Term

Passive Transport

Definition
Diffusion, Osmosis, Filtration, Facilitated Diffusion are what kind of transport?
Term

osmotic pressure or oncotic pull

Definition
Osmosis occurs due to ___________or a “pull” created by a higher concentration of a solute on one side of the membrane.
Term

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Definition
Active Transport Pumps work like facilitated diffusion with the addition of energy in the form of ____________.
Term

Endocytosis

Definition
Utilized for the intake of liquid and food when the substance is too large to diffuse across the membrane.
Term

vesicle

phagocytosis

pinocytosis

Definition

- Membrane actually surrounds the substance with a portion of its membrane, forming a ___________ (bladder or sac) which then separates and moves into the cell.

- If this is a solid, it is ____________ (White blood cells do this to bacteria.

- If the intake involves water, it is ____________.

Term
Exocytosis
Definition
Transport out of the cell using a vesicle.
Term

Mitochondria

Definition
Tiny bean shaped organelles that act as power plants, providing up to 95% of energy needs for cell repair, movement and reproduction.
Term

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Definition
Series of channels set up in the cytoplasm that are formed from folded membranes.
Term

Golgi Apparatus

Definition
Receives and processes protein and stores it. Surrounds the protein with a vesicle that separates itself, travels to the cell membrane where the protein is secreted via exocytosis.
Term

eukaryotic cells

Definition

Cells that make up the human body which have a nucleus, organelles and usually several chromosomes in the nucleus are known as ____________.

Term

Normal blood pressure & tachycardia

           

Definition
Classic vitals for a patient with compensatory shock are:
Term

Low BP & tachycardia

Definition
A person in decompensated shock will present with what vitals (BP and Rate)?
Term
BP low and pulse low or normal
Definition
The classic vital presentation for neurogenic shock is?
Term
Chemotactic
Definition
During the inflammatory response white blood cells are attracted to the area by ____________ factors?
Term
Pathophysiology
Definition
________ is the physiology of disordered function?
Term

Regulate metabolism and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Definition

During stress our body releases many hormones including catecholamines, Our Adrenal cortex also secretes Cortisol. Its function is to?

Term

Congenital & Acquired

Definition

There are two types of immune deficiency they are________ and __________?

Term

Type 1, IgE

Definition

The most severe hypersensitivity reaction is _____ and the antibody responsible is _____?

Term
Serotonin
Definition
When we have and injury and feel pain it is due to the synthesis of ____________________?
Term
Serotonin
Definition
Platelets decrease blood loss by becoming “sticky” thus producing a clot and also release______________ which dilates vessels and is active in chemotaxis?
Term
Serotonin and Heparin
Definition
Along with histamine the mast cell also releases _______________?
Term

Humoral immunity

Definition

The type of immunity we acquire after getting an illness and recovering or from a vaccination is called _________________?

Term

Cell induced

Definition

T-cell lymphocytes induce ________ immunity?

Term
Type O
Definition
The universal donor is what blood type?
Term

Lymphocyte

Definition

_______ is a type of white blood cell that attacks foreign substances as part of the body’s immune response?

Term

Body barriers, Inflammatory, Immune

Definition

We have three lines of defense against infection. Name them in order of response?

Term

Cells swell and die

Definition
In the process of necrosis, what happens to the cell?
Term
Liver
Definition
The organ that commonly responds to cellular injury by swelling and a invasion of the area by lipids (fat)?
Term
Hyperplasia
Definition
Chronic inflammation can cause a cellular proliferation to protect the underlying cells. This is called _______________?
Term
Metaplasia
Definition
 The reversible replacement of one differentiated cell type with another mature differentiated cell type; (such as in the sciliated cell found in the lungs of a smoker being replaced by a non sciliated cell).
Term
Hyperthyroidism
Definition
What medical condition can cause a person to be intolerant of the heat? 
Term
Tinea (ringworm)
Definition

Skin infection due to a fungus. Often, there are several  ring shaped patches on your skin at once.

Term

Crabs –  (Pubic lice)

Definition

Small, six-legged creatures that infect the pubic hair area and lay eggs. These lice can also be found in armpit hair and eyebrows. They live above the skin.

Term

Scabies

Definition

Easily spread skin disease caused by a very small species of mite that burrows under the skin.

Term
Systemic Lupus
Definition

Autoimmune condition where the body is making antibodies to fight it’s own tissue. Much more common among women. Typical sign will be facial rosacea.

Term
Parenchyma
Definition

Scientific term for Basic cells. (All tissue)

Term

Melanoma

Definition

Carcinoma that appears as a skin lesion and can be hidden – (i.e. in the back of your eye). If a red ring is noted around the edge of the lesion, it is metastasizing.

Term
Kaposis Sarcoma
Definition

Cancer that is viral in origin and presents plantar / palmar or on the tissue of the gums. 99% of the time this will be an AIDS patient.

Term
Herpes

Virus that lives in the nerves. Permanent and highly contagious. (Normally associated with sexual transmission)

Term
Echymosis
Definition
Another term for bruising.
Term

Cellulitis

Definition

Infection of the tissue right under the skin (warm to the touch) typically from staph or other pathogen.

Term
Alopecia
Definition
Hair loss due to high stress from any number of occurrences such as personal loss, etc.
Term
Murphy's Sign
Definition

__________  _________ is elicited by firmly placing a hand at the costal margin in the right upper abdominal quadrant and asking the patient to breathe deeply.
