1. Where do we hold DNA inside the cell?
Answer
Nucleus
2. What is it called when cell's commit suicide/programmed cell death?
Answer
Apoptosis
3. In carbon monoxide poisoning, what would we see and why?
Answer
Tissue damage d/t CO binding on hemoglobin preventing oxygen from being able to bind to
those sites, preventing tissue oxygenation
4. If ph is LOW, Bicarb is HIGH and CO2 is HIGH what condition do we have?
Answer
Respiratory acidosis
5. How do molecules get intracellular or extracellular?
Answer
Water molecules via osmosis, other molecules via hydrostatic pressure
6. If a patient is vomiting a lot, what would they develop and why?
Answer
Metabolic alkalosis - they are losing all gastric acid contents and holding onto bicarb
7. To exam for neural tube defects in an amniocentesis, what are we looking at?
Answer
Alpha fetal protein
8. Why would a newborn have type 1 DM? What kind of condition is it?
,Answer
Autoimmune disorder
9. What symptoms will someone with Trisomy 21 have?
Answer
Wide eyes, webbed neck, short stature, flat low-set ears, low nasal bridge, IQ <70
10. What gene is responsible for the maintenance of all other cells?
Answer
House- keeping genes
11. If a patient comes in with chronic wounds that aren't healing, what are we thinking about?
Answer
Diabetes - some underlying condition preventing proper wound healing
12. If a newborn does not have enough collectin proteins what kind of infection would they
develop?
Answer
A respiratory infection - pneumonia
13. Where do B Lymphocytes grow and mature?
Answer
Bone marrow
14. If someone gets a vaccination or gets chicken pox from someone else, what kind of
immunity do they have?
Answer
Active-acquired immunity
15. Why do we give rhogam?
Answer
To prevent hemolytic anema given to Rh negative mom with Rh positive baby
16. Why does someone have rejection occur after an organ transplant?
, Answer
T helper cells release cytokines, cytotoxins attack endothelial cells and cause tissue damage
17. What is happening at a cellular level in a type II sensitivity reaction?
Answer
Anti- bodies bind antigens on the cell surface
18. What is an exotoxin?
Answer
This is released by bacteria and causes you to get sick
19. What cells fight fungal infections?
Answer
Phagocytes, T lymphocytes
20. Why is it that when you are stressed you are more at risk to get sick?
Answer
Cortisol increases and causes T helper cells to be suppressed (cortisol suppresses T1 cell)
21. Severely stressed patient - what will we see in lab work?
Answer
Hypoglycemia
22. What happens if we've got cellular metabolism that is just not working right
- what will happen?
Answer
Filled up with waste
23. Least likely interleukin to stimulate endothelial proinflammatory stage?
