Patho MN 551 Midterm Review
Jaundice is caused by excess accumulation of bilirubin in what part of the cell? -
ANS-hepatocyte cell membrane
What process allows glucose to enter body cells? - ANS-Facilitated diffusion
Cell differentiation - ANS-process by which dividing cells change their functional or
phenotypical type.
Crohn's disease - ANS-a chronic autoimmune disorder that can occur anywhere in the
digestive tract; however, it is most often found in the ileum and in the colon
Causes fissures, strictures and perianal abscess.
Submucousal granulamatosus tissue involved
Treatment for Crohn's Disease - ANS-Treatment of inflammatory response
Sulfasalazine then metronidazole if no response to 5-ASA
Methotrexate and corticosteroids
Cervical Cancer - ANS-Malignant cell growth in the cervix; can be caused by HPV virus
Cervical Cancer treatment - ANS-if PAP smear is negative (normal) then routine follow
up.
if CIN1: then repeat PAP
if CIN2 or CIN3: may need cryosurgery, laser surgery, LEEP performed.
may need hysterectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy.
Frostbite - ANS-the freezing and crystalizing of fluids in the interstitial and cellular
spaces as a consequence of prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures
