1
Q

Deformation vs Disruption

A

Deformation = teratogen
changes to structures AFTER embryonic period. Extrinsic forces limiting normal organ development (Potter sequence)

Disruption = normal development occurs but something causes an abnormality (bands + compress + encircle)

Neuroendocrine

GI tract = SI

5-HIAA

30
Q

Actinic purpura

A

Dorsal hands + Forearm

Dermal collagen atrophy + chronic sun exposure = blood vessel fragility

31
Q

Increase
1. Central venous pressure = decrease preload
2. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure = decrease preload

Reduce TPR

A

Decreases Contractility
