Q

why is it bad if fibrous pericardium gets fluid in it?

A

bc cannot expand - so fluid drains into sac and builds up and compress the heart = cardiac tampondade

Q

where do the SNS preganglionic fibres synapse (3)

A

SNS preganglionic fibres synapse in:

i) paravertebral ganglia of the sympathetic chain (T1-4 sympathetic chain).
T1 – T4 pre & post ganglionic fibres synapse within the sympathetic trunk (paravertebral ganglia).

ii) prevertebral ganglia: T5-L2 the nerve fibres from the spinal cord pass through the sympathetic ganglia and synapse outside the sympathetic trunk (prevertebral or collateral ganglia).)

iii) chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla (pass independently)

Q

where are sympathetic postganglionic neurons that innervate abdominal viscera located?

what ^ made from?

A

in prevertebral ganglia:

T5-T9 = great splanchnic nerve (The greater splanchnic nerve is formed from the preganglionic fibres of T5–T9, which traverse the paravertebral ganglion and terminate in the coeliac and superior mesenteric ganglia)

T10-T12 = lesser splanchnic nerve

BOTH SYNAPSE ON POSTGANGLIONIC NEURONS IN THE CELIAC GANGLION

  • postganglionic fibres innervate smooth muscle and glands in stomach, small intestines, liver, kidney and spleen

Q

where is the myentric and submucosal plexi located?

each function?

A

myenteric plexus:

located: between circular and long. muscle layers

function: motility (peristalsis?)

submucosal plexus:

located: between submucosal and circular muscle layer

function: controls secretion and muscle function in the mucosal layer

22
Q

describe the pathway for synapse for the release of adrenaline

A
  • sympathetic pre-ganglionic fibres leaves spinal cord (via lateral horn) and goes through sympathetic trunk without synapsing
  • goes through pre-vertebral ganglia without synapsing
  • directly goes to cells of adrenal medulla: stimulates medullary cells to secrete adrenaline and noradrenaline
23
Q

what is difference in somatic vs autonomic motor reflex?

A

main difference: in efferent branch:

autonomic = 2 step pathway -> preganglionic nerve synapse at post ganglionic neuron, which in turn project to effector

somatic: projects directly onto skeletal muscle

24
Q

where are SGLT and GLUT2 located in entrocytes?

A

SGLT1 is located in the apical membrane of enterocytes,

GLUT2 is located only in the basolateral membrane;

25
Q

whats the difference between pinocytosis and receptor mediate endocytosis?

A

Pinocytosis is nonspecific uptake of small droplets of extracellular fluid

Receptor-mediated endocytosis a specific receptor protein on the plasma membrane that “recognizes” an extracellular molecule and binds with it

26
Q

Folding of newly synthesized polypeptides in the crowded cellular environment requires the assistance of so-called molecular WHAT proteins

A

Folding of newly synthesized polypeptides in the crowded cellular environment requires the assistance of so-called molecular chaperone proteins

27
Q

draw structure of a a.a.

A
28
Q

list 4 things that are derived from cholesterol :)

A
  • steroid hormones
  • sex hormones
  • vitamin D
  • bile salts
29
Q

What makes cancer cells differnt to normal cells? (2)

A
  • Does not respond to normal cell cycle signals
  • Does not respond to signals for cell destruction
30
Q

give three ways in which cancer cells can evade apoptosis

A
  1. eliminating the internal sensors the trigger apoptosis e.g. hypoxia, lack of nutrients,
  2. upregulating anti-apoptotic factors (e.g. bcl-2)
  3. Downregulation pro-apoptotic factors (e.g. bax)
31
Q

name an anti growth signal that cancer cells can become insensitve to

A

RB !

32
Q

what is the warburg effect?

A

Modification of metabolism to support neoplastic proliferation – Warburg effect:

cancer exhibit glucose fermentation even when enough oxygen - allows proliferating cells to convert nutrients such as glucose more efficiently into biomass promoting anabolism.

33
Q

uncontrolled proliferation of TFGa makes what cancer?

A

Oesophageal cancer

34
Q

name a receptor, when overexpressed causes cancer?

A

HER2 / ErbB2: breast cancer

35
Q

what is depurination?

A

•Spontaneous cleavage of bond linking purine (A or G) to the deoxyribose removes base.

36
Q

how cna tumours cause death (3)

A
  • Organ failure
  • Haemorrhage
  • Immunosuppression and death by opportunistic infections
37
Q

what class of pathogen is malaria?

A

protozoa

38
Q

3 main shapes of bacteria?

A

Spherical (cocci)

Cylindrical rod (bacilli)

Curved/spiral (spirochetes)

39
Q
A
40
Q

what colour does ziehl-neelosn stain turn mycobacteria?

A

red !

41
Q

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

resistant to which antibiotics?

A

•Resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics which is used to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis

42
Q

innate immunity tries to take out pathogens. the system uses complement blood proteins. name 2 that do this and their role

A

Uses complement blood proteins that

  • opsonise (act as markers for phagocytes)
  • cytolyse (directly attack via membrane attack complex (MAC))
  • enhance inflammation
43
Q

which bacteria do exotoxins and which do endotoxins?

A

exootoxins: gram postive & gram negative

endotoxins: gram negative -> from the LPS layer of wall !

44
Q

what can type 2,3, & 4 hypersensitivty be

A

Type II: IgG/IgM to patients own RBCs due to M. pneumonia

Type III: complement activation causing inflammation e.g. S. pyogenes causing glomerulonephritis

Type IV: T cell mediated e.g. TB granulomas

45
Q

•Increased K+ permeability of the post-synaptic membrane will result in which type of potential?

A

Inhibitory post synpatic signal

46
Q

the normal pH range of blood = ?

can u name a location in the body which is alkali?

A

•The normal pH of blood: 7.35-7.45

  • If blood pH <7.35 = Acidosis = Acidaemia
  • If blood pH >7.45 = Alkalosis = Alkalaemia

alkali: small intestine - pH of 8

47
Q

whats a buffer?

A

A solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acid or a base.

48
Q

what is the equation for bicarobate buffer? what enzume?

A

Co2 + H20 ⇌ H2C03 ⇌ HCO3- + H+

enyme: carbonic anhydrase

49
Q

acid / base disorders:

If the problem is with the respiratory system, the kidneys can compensate by altering HCO3-. How is this altered for acidosis & alkalsosi?

A

If the problem is with the respiratory system, kidneys:

  • In acidosis: increases HCO3-
  • In alkalosis: ¯ HCO3-
50
Q

acid / base disorders:

If the problem is metabolic, the lungs can compensate by altering Co2 levels. How is this altered for acidosis & alkalsosi?

A
  • the lungs can compensate by altering CO2 Levels
  • In acidosis: increases­ RR (decreases CO2)
  • In alkalosis: decreaeses¯ RR (increases CO2)
