Optoprep/ODquestions Flashcards
What does virgin cytotoxic T cells divide into?
- effector T cells
- memory T cells
What recognizes the MHC complex (antibody + MHC)?
cytotoxic T cells and virgin helper T cells
cytotoxic T cells divide into effector and memory T cells
What’s the function of effector T cells?
promote mitosis of T and B cells to help combat pathogens
What’s the function of helper T cells?
help direct the immune system to the appropriate cells
What’s the function of killer T cells?
inject chemicals to cause death in the target cell
What are the functions of B cells
upon activation by effector helper T cells and interleukins, begin mitosis and differentiate into memory B cells and effector B cells
new memory B cells are stored for future encounters
What produces antibodies?
B cells - serve to inactive the offending agent
What’s the vertex distance equation?
Fc = Fs/1-dFs
Fc = dioptric power of the corneal plane
Fs = dioptric power of the spec plane
d = vertex distance in m
What’s weber’s Law?
K = delta I/I
K = Weber’s constant
I = difference in threshold
I = original stimulus intensity
Goldmann 3 mirror
Trapezoid 73 degrees = eval retinal equatorial region
bullet mirror 59 degrees = assess ora serrata
square mirror 67 degrees = anterior equatorial retina and the ora serrata
What’s the color of the following wavelengths?
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
What is the avg cell density of the endothelium
3000
cellular density count below ____ cells/mm2 is associated with what risk?
1000
high risk for corneal endothelial decompensation
Vitrosin
unique collagen that is capable of binding large amts of water (up to 200x its weight)
- contains hydroxyproline (specific to collagen)
- originates from the neruoectoderm
Where are hemoglobin and albumin found?
proteins found in blood
creatine
used as an energy source primarily by our muscles
xanthophyll
yellow appearance in the macula
- combination of zeaxanthin and lutein
- decrease the formation of free radicals
- not made in our body which is why we advise pts with macular degeneration to take oral supplements (AREDS)
What’s the avg IOP?
15 mmHg (+/- 2.57mmHg)
normal fluctuation of IOP?
3-5mmHg
Which glands produce oil?
MG and zeiss
Which glands are apocrine (sweat) glands?
Moll
Which glands produce the aqueous layer of the tear film?
Krause and Wolfring
Describe a stage 3 macular hole
- FT macular hole (400um), smooth edge, small, surrounding, donut-shaped cuff of subretinal fluid
- yellow deposits at the base of the neuroretinal defect, along with perifoveal cystic changes
- operculum may be present but vitreofoveal separation has not occurred
A deficiency of which vitamin can lead to prolonged dark adaptation?
Vit A
- active form of Vit A is retinol which is important for the formation of rhodopsin
- rods most active in situations with dim illumination
