25
What physiologic change occurs during heat exhaustion?
Hemoconcentration occurs d/t loss of salt and water
26
Consequence of plasma membrane damage to mitochondria
Influx of calcium ions halts ATP production
27
Consequence of leakage of lysosomal enzymes during chemical injury
Enzymatic digestion of cellular organelles including nucleus and nucleolus which halts synthesis of DNA and RNA
28
Lead causes damage in cell by interfering with?
Calcium
29
Difference between subdural hematoma and epidural hematoma
Subdural hematoma results from shaken baby syndrome, epidural hematoma rapidly forms from skull fracture
30
What mechanism occurs in liver cells as a result of lipid accumulation
Increase synthesis of triglycerides from fatty acids and decreased synthesis of apoproteins
31
Hemoprotein accumulations are result of excessive storage of?
Iron - which is transferred from cells to bloodstream
32
Hemosiderosis is a condition that results in excess of what being stored as hemosiderin in cells
Iron
33
What is the cause of free calcium in cytosol that damages cell membranes by uncontrolled enzyme activation?
Depletion of ATP normally pumps calcium from cell
34
Necrosis that is associated with wet gangrene?
Liquefactive - when neutrophils invade the site
35
Non dividing cells can only occur in ? - GI lining - hyperplasia - hypertrophy
Hypertrophy
36
Dysplasia refers to a - abnormal increase in the number of a specific cell type - adaptive process at cell level - modification in the shape of a specific cell type
Modification in shape of a specific cell type
37
What organs are effected by the type of necrosis that results from either severe ischemia or chemical injury?
Kidneys, heart
38
Other than osmosis, what force is involved in movement of water between plasma and interstitial fluid spaces?
Hydrostatic pressure
39
________ pressure encourages water to cross the barrier of capillaries to enter the circulatory system
Oncotic
40
Which nerves are capable of regeneration?
Myelinated nerves in the PNS
41
Causes of hypocalcemia
Repeated blood admin, pancreatitis (release of lipases into soft tissue space, free fatty acids formed bind to Ca, causing decrease in ionized calcium)
42
Groups at risk for fluid imbalance
Infants, obese, elderly
43
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure can result from?
Venous obstruction or Na/h20 retention
44
Two thirds of body’s water is found in
Intracellular
45
What pH will initiate the formation of NH4 from NH3?
Acidosis 7.25
46
Physiologic pH 7.4 means bicarbonate and carbonic acid exist in a ratio of
20:1
47
Most common cause of hypermagnesemia
Renal failure
48
Excessive use of magnesium containing antacids and aluminum containing antacids can result in
Hypophosphatemia - most common cause is intestinal malabsorption and renal excretion of phosphate
49
Chvostek and trousseau signs indicate what electrolyte imbalance
Hypocalcemia
50
What changes occur to cells resting membrane potential during hyperkalemia
Hypopolarization (more positive on inside of cell)
51
Causes of hyperkalemia
Renal failure, trauma, insulin deficiency, metabolic acidosis, Addison’s disease
52
Major determinant of resting membrane potential depends on ratio of what?
Intra and extracellular K+
53
Pathophysiologic process of edema is related to?
Lymphatic obstruction OR increased capillary hydrostatic pressure, dec plasma oncotic pressure, increased capillary membrane permeability, sodium retention
54
Vomiting induced metabolic acidosis causes?
Retention of bicarbonate to maintain anion balance
55
What causes confusion, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage and coma in hypernatremia?
High sodium in blood vessels pulls water out of brain cells into brain vessels, causing brain cells to shrink
56
``` What can cause hypernatremia? SIADH Hypersecretion of aldosterone Brief bouts of vomiting or diarrhea Excessive diuretic therapy ```
Hypersecretion of aldosterone
57
Thirst activates osmoreecptors by an increase in which blood plasma?
