Midterm 2 Things I do not know well! Flashcards
where is the preferred metastasis of carcinomas?
The lymphatic tissues. but they also like the bones, liver lungs& brian or anywhere that is large is size & richly perfused
what are the steps of metastasis
1) local growth & extension (invasion) aided by enzymes
2) entrance into the lymph/blood
- most will not survive b/c turbulence & immunsystem
3) release of cytokines & mediators t decide if suitable & angiogenesis
Whats the dif between grading & staging
grading = histology approach that tells you if it is restrictive or invasive & is more subjective
Staging is a clinical approach uses TNM
when is the period of organogenesis
(15-60 days post conception) this is where most of the problems will occur because the embryo is just forming its organs
when are the specific critical periods
CNS = 2-5 w Heart = 3-6w extremities = 5-7 w eyes = 5-7 w
what is a chromosome
the structure the genes are arranged on. Has 100-1000 genes
what are homologous chromosomes
Make up the complementary pair, have genes for some characteristics on each location of chromosome
what is an allele
one copy of a gene is inhibited form each parent the expression of a nondom/recessive allele will be masked by the dominant allele
what are the 4 types of genetic abnromalities
1) Monogenic (only one gene on chromosome = problem)
2) Mitrochondrial gene
3) Complex trait (more than one gene + Muliple factors involved)
4) Chromososme (instead of 46 = 45,47)
What are the 3 types of monogenic gene disorders
1) Autosomal dominant
2) Autosomal recessive
3) X linked recessive
Explain autosomal dominant
- Single allele effected on chromosome
- 50% provability of passing onto offspring
- Autosomal = nonsex chromosome
explain autosomal recessive
- Need two effective alleles
- Offsping: 25% unaffected, 50% carriers, 25% affected
- carriers just have one defective allele so they can possibly send onto offspring.
what is the X linked recessive
sex linked abnormality
most carried on X CHROME
alterations on the X chrome has a more severe effect on the boy b/c no healthy backup gene
if its mom: 1/4 changce of female being carrier 1/2 normal female 1/4 change unaffected male. 1/4 change affected male
if its dad: all daughters are carriers & all sons are healthy
what do the mitochondrial gene disorders do
37 genes most are form the mom. Code for respiratory chain enzymes so the systems most affected are the muscle & nervous systems because they need the most ATP
explain complex trait gene disorders
A polygene is a gene whose effect is too small on the phenotype so it act with others. it need environmental factors in order to take place. its a predisposition.
what are the 2 types of chromosomal gene disorders
either numeric or structural
what is aneuploidy
when ur missing or have an extra chromosome
what is trisomy
extra chromosome pair (trisomy 21 = downsydrome)
Klinefelters sydrome
what is monosomy
missing chromosome only happens in sex chromosomes
Turners syndrome
what is klinefelters syndrome
-Male who has xxy instead of xy (1 in 500)
Clinical features: tall, lack facial hair, narrow shoulders, long arms & legs, gynocomastia (swollen breasts) wide hips, decreased pubic hair, testicular atrophy & infertile
what is turners syndrome
woman has only X (1 in 2500)
-small statue, webbed neck, broad chest with spiced nipples, no breasts, amenorrhea, estrogen & progesterone deficiency
lymphedema, coarctation of aorta & bicuspid valve, small bones, ovaries degenesis
what are the 7 CHROMOSOMAL Strucutral defects
1) INVERSION
2) TRANSLOCATION
3) DELETION
4) BALANCED TRANSLOCATION
5) ROBERTSONIAN TRANSLOCATION
6) ISOCHORMOSOMAL TRANSLOCATION
7) RING FORMATION
explain inversion
A piece has been flipped. It requires 2 breaks in a single chromome. Pericentric = around centromere. Paracentric = away from centromere
explain translocation
piece from one chromosome onto another or they trade
