Q

why is systolic blood pressure higher than diastolic?

A

as systolic pressure needs to be high enough to propel blood to the tissues, where as diastolic is just minimum resting pressue when heart relaxes to

Q

what are the normal mechanisms that regulate blood pressure to keep it within normal range?

A

Baroreceptors** in carotid sinuses & aortic arch: stimulated when BP rises, inhibited when BP lowers

  • > brain
  • > RAS** = Renin Angiotension System
  • > vasodialation/constriction, increase or decrease CO
  • > Atrial Natriuretic Peptide**
  • > homeostasis returned

Q

what can secondary hypertension result from?

A

Can arise from any condition that influences BP regulation

  • renal: sodium excretion, fluid retention
  • endocrine: response of arterioles to sympathetic stimulation - over production of cortisul, aldosterone of ACTH
  • renal artery stenosis: decrease B supply to kidney => renin => angiotension II => vasoconstriction => increase BP

igG?

A

Vaccination
forms antibody-antigen complex(binds to antigen) which leads to it being phagocytosed, they have good memory, secondary large response

Q

how can chronic hypertension affect blood vessels?

A

atherosclerosis
hyaline arteriolsclerosis
benign nephrosclerosis
-> basically thickening of wall due to deposition of plasma proteins/extracellular matrix production, smooth muscle atrophy, scarring

Q

effect of chronic hypertension on heart?

A

coronary artery disease, ischaemia, angina,
increased afterload on left ventricle leading to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy..impairing heart muscle function.. possible heart failure

18
Q

chronic hypertension effect on retina?

A

hyaline arteriolsclerosis damages arterioles within eye, then can rupture causing haemorrhages/small infarcts.
=> cotton wall spots

19
Q

negative feedback

A

when a rise in a particular hormone is sensed by receptors in the body and control centers then counteract heighten levels by either turning off stimulus that creates it or release another hormone that counteracts it

20
Q

define apoptosis?

A

controlled by AUTODIGESTION of cell components due to activation of ENDOGENOUS enzymes

21
Q

define necrosis?

A

unregulated enzymatic digestion of cell components, loss of membrane integrity with uncontrolled release of products of cell death into the intracellular space, initiation of inflammation response

22
Q

hormones of anterior pituitary:

A

FSH & LH = testes of male, ovaries of female test, estro, progesterone
GH -> liver -> somatomedins => bone/muscle/other tissues
PRL = mammary glands
ACTH -> adrenal glands => steroid hormones
TSH -> thyroid gland => thyroid hormones

23
Q

hormones of posterior pituitary?

A

ADH = kidneys
OXT = smooth muscle men = ductus deferens/prostate
women = uterine and mammary glands

24
Q

anterior hypopituitarism?

epithelial cells, kinda secondary, hypothalamus releases hormone

A

GH deficiency
ACTH deficiency which leads to decreased adrenal production in adrenal cortex => AETIOLOGY => goitre
DECREASED T3 & T4,

25
Q

posterior hypopituitarism?
posterior neurons cells
hormones made in hypothalamus,

A

neurogenic diabetes insipidus??

ADH effect on kidneys??

26
Q

what is hypo/hyper pituitarism mostly due to?

A

tumours/lesions, infections etc.

27
Q

anterior hyperpituitarism?

A

ADEMOMA of any hormones except TSH
increase in GH….gigantism in children, acromegaly in adults,
PRL - hyperprolactinaemia..lactotrope adenoma
ACTH - ..excessive adrenal hormone CUSHINGS disease
FSH & LH = gonadotrope adenoma, postmenopausal women

28
Q

posterior hyperpituitarism?

A

syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion

29
Q

Hypothyroidism

A

Hashimotos disease
AUTOIMMUNE
decreased T3&T4, increased TSH
can result in goitre

30
Q

Hyperthyroidism:

A

Graves disease
AUTOIMMUNE
increased T4

31
Q

thyroid hormone effect on the following:

metabolic, GIT, CVS & neuromuscular

A 
metabolic = increase basal, temp
GIT = glucose catabolism, protein synthesis, lipidosis
CVS = normal cardiac fuction
neuromuscular = normal neuronal function adults/development in fetus, normal function and development of bone and skeleton
32
Q

symptoms/signs expected from hyperthyroidism?

A
  • increase in BMR resulting in weightloss
  • decrease in lipidosis, and breakdown of glucose therefore low energy & fatigue
  • tremor
  • exophthalmos - bulging eyes
  • goiter
33
Q

what is the most common CAUSE of hyperthyroidism?

A

graves disease - autoimmune attack of thyroid gland

34
Q

signs/symptoms of hypothyroidism?

A
  • depression & forgetfullness
  • dry skin(opposite of sweating)
  • weight gain
  • goiter
35
Q

most common cause of HYPOthyroidism?

A

hashimotos disease!
increased TSH and decreased T4&T3

and iodine deficiency

36
Q

insulin:

A

stimulates synthesis of glycogen from glucose

STORES

37
Q

Glucagon:

A

breaks down glycogen into glucose

38
Q

myocardial infarction typically occurs due to?

A

development of an occlusive thrombosis over a pre-existing atherosclerotic plaque
- arrhythmias may arise

39
Q

4 inflammatory exudate and what each contains?

A

1) purulent = neutrophils and bacteria
2) fibrinous = fibrin + leukocytes and fluid
3) serous = mainly fluid small amount
4) haemorrhagic = RBC, fibrin, fluid, leukocytes

40
Q

what is granulation tissue?

what does it consist of?

A

intermediately tissue of repair, during healing via fibrosis
macrophages(remove debris), fibroblasts(produce collagen) an newly formed blood vessels(to provide nutrients to the above cells)

41
Q

osteophyte formation is for which bone disease?

A

osteoarthritis

42
Q

difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis?

A 
osteoporosis = mass and density decrease
osteoarthritis = articular cartilage through FRICTION breakdown, chondrocytes, osteophytes
43
Q

gluconenogenesis definition

A

production of glucose

breaking down of glycogen to form glucose
