Midterm 2 Flashcards
(114 cards)
Which of the following cells are least prone to injury
Hematopoietic cells
Neurons
Hepatocytes
Testicular cells
Neurons
Highly active, injury prone cells
Hematopoietic cells
Hepatocytes
Testicular cells
Intestinal cells
Hypertrophy
Increased size of an organ or cell
Atrophy
Decreased size of organ or cell or cell count
Hyperplasia
Increased number of cells
Metaplasia
Replacement of one cell type with another
Dysplasia
Disordered, unregulated cell proliferation without maturation
Orderly cell death without inflammation
Apoptosis
Disorderly cell death with inflammation
Necrosis
Death of a body part
Gangrenous necrosis
Cell death occurring in a granuloma
Caseous necrosis
Left sided heart failure complications
Hypertension Ischemic heart disease Pulmonary edema Orthopnea - hypertension laying down Reduced blood to kidneys
Right sided heart failure
caused by
effects
caused by lung disease/ left sided heart disease
causes hepatomegaly
hypertension
Select incorrect statement concerning myocardial infarction
as many as 10-20% of these patients experience no pain
The majority of these patients experience pulmonary edema
These are often associated with a mural thrombus (40%)
Typically precipitated by an atrial premature beat
Typically precipitated by an atrial premature beat
Complications of MI
Arrhythmias (75-95%)
Pericarditis (50%)
Mural thrombus (40%)
Extension of infarct
Tachy-arrhythmias
cardiac contraction rates more than 100 bpm
Most common ineffective cardiac contraction
Atrial fibrillation
Essential/primary hypertension
don’t know what causes it
very common - 90-95% of hypertensive patients
narrowing of arterioles especially in kidneys
Secondary hypertension
Caused by pheochromocytoma or other endocrine cause and by congestive heart failure 5-10% of hypertensives Drugs Pregnancy Renal failure Sleep apnea
Which of the following is least likely to be a compensation for congestive heart failure
Cardiohypertrophy
A reduction in cardiac stroke volume
Increased catecholamine (sympathetic) activity
Tachycardia
A reduction in cardiac stroke volume
Will want to increase stroke volume
Also will want to redistribute blood flow
Fixed (stable) stenosis/angina
Symptoms resolve after exerted effort
Variant angina
at rest, brief
Unstable angina
prolonged at rest
most dangerous
Risk of atrial fibrillation
Thrombus
25% of strokes
no MI danger
