192
How many stages of chronic renal insufficiency before it's considered ESRD (end-stage renal disease)?
ESRD is final permanent stage. kidneys can't function on their own. there are 4 stages before that
193
DVT vs pulmonary embolism
DVT (deep vein thrombi)= clots in deep leg veins. pulmonary embolism when clots break off and travel through heart to pulmonary arteries
194
what is a myocardial infarction?
common name: heart attack. Physiology: blockage of one or more coronary arteries. causes prolonged ischemia (inadequate blood supply) and hypoxia
195
cerebrovascular accident vs transient ischemic attack
TIA is when symptoms are temporary (usually less than an hour) and don't cause permanent damage. CVA is a stroke caused by ischemia leading to permanent brain damage.
196
What is CAD (physiology)
narrowing or blocking of coronary arteries, often caused by buildup of cholesterol plaques.
197
difference between DM I nd DM II
type I don't produce insulin, type 2 don't respond to insulin as well and later often don't make enough
