Q

What happens in Tay-Sachs disease

A

it is an autosomal recessive disorder where hexosaminidase A, needed to digest GM2 ganglioside is missing. as a result GM2 ganglioside accumulates in tissues like the heart liver spleen but it causes the most damage to the nervous system and retina.

25
The complex shape that DNA is coiled into is called
chromatin
26
Each complex of DNA and a histone protein is called
nucleosome
27
Because DNA is coiled too tight in the chromatin, it needs to be induced to change shape so it is accessable. What is this called
chromatin remodeling
28
Only mutations in ______ cells can be inheirited
germ cells
29
What kind of enzyme repairs DNA
endonucleases
30
After the endonucleases cleaves the distorted part of the DNA, what creates a new piece to put back
DNA polymerase
31
What binds the newly synthesized piece to the old strand
DNA ligase
32
Besides the nucleus, where is DNA stored
the mitochondria
33
Mitochondrial DNA is inheirited by who
the mother
34
What is its structure
single stranded closed circle
35

single stranded vs double the sugar on the nucleotides are ribose not deoxyribose thymine is replaced with uracil
36
What are the principal leukocytes of acute imflammation
neutrophils
37
What are the principal leukocytes of chronic infection
macrophages, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and mast cells
38
How are endothelial cells involved in the imflammatory response?
They provide a semipermeable barrier for self and non-self, regulate leukocyte extravasation, release imflammatory mediators, and regulate immune cell proliferation by secreting hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors (CSF's)
39
What do endothelial cells also participate in
the repair process that follows imflammation by producing growth factors for angiogenesis and extracellular matrix synthesis.
40
What leukocyte is arrives at the site of acute inflammation within 90 mins of injury
neutrophils
41
What method do neutrophils use to kill pathogens
phagocytosis
42
Besides its enzymes, what do neutrophils produce to aid in killing engulfed pathogens
they have oxygen-dependent metabolic pathways that generate toxic oxygen like hydorgen peroxide and nitric oxide
43
How do neutrophils die
apoptosis
44
How long does it take for neutrophils to dissappear after entering the site of inflammation
24-48 hours
45
What percentage are eosinophils
2-3
46
How long does it generally take for eosinophils to reach the site of inflammation
2-3 hours after the neutrophils
47
Why do eosinophils take longer to reach the site of inflammation
they have slower mobility and slower reaction to chemotactic stimuli
48
Inflammation is characterized as the
movement of fluid and leukocyte from vascular compartments into the extravascular tissue space
49
Acute inflammation is characterized by the
exudation of fluid and plasma proteins
50
Chronic inflammation is characterized by
angiogenesis, tissue necrosis, and fibrosis (scarring)
51
What is the first phase of acute inflammation and what happens
during the vascular phase the blood vessels momentarily constrict then rapidly dilate, and permeability increases and protein rich fluid pours into the extravascular space.
52
During the first phase of acute inflammation, what causes the cardinal signs like heat and redness
increased blood flow
53
What cause the swelling and pain during the first phase of acute inflammation
increased osmotic pressure in the extravascular space coupled with an increase in capillary pressure cause the outflow of fluid
54
How is the outflow and accumulation of fluid during the first phase of the acute inflammatory response beneficial
it helps localize any infectious pathogens
55
What is the second phase of acute inflammation
during the cellular phase leukocytes are moved to the site of injury
56
How is the second phase of acute inflammation broken down
margination, adhesion and trans migration, and chemotaxis
57
What is margination
free flowing leukocytes leave the central blood stream and interact with endothelial cells
58
What facilitates the adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes into the extravascular space
complemetary adhesion molecules like selectins and integrins
59
What is the process of the third phase of acute inflammation
Opsonization: complement factor C3b and antibodies facilitates recognition of the neutrophil by the C3b receptor and Fc antibody receptor Intracellular signal and actin essembly: Activation triggers intracellular siganling and actin essembly, forming pseudopods to enclose the microbe within a phagosome. Formation of phagolysosome and killing: the phagosome fuses with a lysosome and then uses the enzymes and oxygen radicals to kill the microbe.
60
Where are plasma derived mediators created
the liver
61
Plasma derived mediators are products of three major protein cascade systems called
kallikrein-kininogen the coagulation system the complement system
62
How do plasma derived proteins contribute to the inflammatory response
they cause vasodilation increase vascular permeability promote leukocyte adhesion, and chemotaxis augment phagosytosis
63
Where are plasma derived mediators created
the liver
64
Plasma derived mediators are products of three major protein cascade systems called
kallikrein-kininogen the coagulation system the complement system
65
How do plasma derived proteins contribute to the inflammatory response
they cause vasodilation increase vascular permeability promote leukocyte adhesion, and chemotaxis augment phagosytosis
66
What produce cell derived inflammatory mediators
tissue macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, platelets and leukocytes
67
Histamine and serotonin are clasified as
vasoactive amines
68
Histamine is derived from
histidine
69
Serotonin is derived from
tryptamine
70
What cell has the largest storage of histamine
mast cells adjacent to blood vessels
71
What does histamine do
its causes dilation of arterioles and increases permeability of venules by binding to the H1 receptor of endothelial cells
72
Where is serotonin primarily found
platelet granules
73
Arachidonic acid is found where
the phospholipids of the cell membrane
74
The release of what leads to the production of the eicosanoid family of inflammatory mediators
Arachidonic acid
75
What are some inflammatory mediators are in the eicosanoid family
prostaglandins and leukotrienes
76
Which two pathways does eicosanoid synthesis follow
cylcooxygenase pathway and lipoxygenase pathway
77
Which synthesis pathway creates prostaglandins
cylcooxygenase
78
Which synthesis pathway creates leukotrienes
lipoxygenase
79
How do antihistames work
they act to competetively antagonize the h1 receptors by binding to them instead of histamine
80
Which family of drugs blocks the inflammatory efffect of both the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways
corticosteroids
81
How do corticosteroids block the inflammatory efffect of both the cylcooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways
they inhibit phosphodiesterase thus preventing the release of arachidonic acid
82
Which prostaglandins induce inflammation and potentiate the effects of histamine and other mediators
PGD2, PGE2, PGF2alpha, PGI2
83
Which prostaglandin promotes platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction
Thromboxane A2
84
Which drugs effect the cyclooxygenase pathways
Aspirin and the NSAIDs
85
What does NSAID stand for
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
86
How does aspirin and NSAIDs work
thhey inhibit the first enzyme in the cyclooxygenase pathway
87
Leukootrienes have a similar function to
histamine
88
Leukotrienes have been reported to affect the
permeability of venules, adhesion properties of endothelial cells and extravasation and chemotaxis of neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes
89
Leukotreine LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 cause
