hemiplegia-this can be described as what finding?
anterior cerebral artery - ANSa right hemisphere embolic CVA has resulted in left-sided
paralysis and reduced sensation of the left foot and leg due to this artery being most likely
affected by the emboli
antigens on the cell surface - ANSantibodies bind to this as the mechanism of action that
results in type II hypersensitivity reactions
antigens, antibodies and lympphocyte surface receptors - ANSmolecules that react with
components of the adaptive immune system

autonomic hyperreflexia - ANSa man who sustained a cervical spinal cord injury two days ago
suddenly develops sever HTN and bradycardia, he reports severe head pain and blurred vision.
the most likely explanation for these sxs is _________________
autonomic hyperreflexia - ANSaffected at the t5-t6 level or above; characterized by
paroxysmal HTN (up to 300 mmHg systolic), a pounding headache, blurred vision, sweating
above the level of the lesion with flushing of the skin, nasal congestion, nausea, piloerection
caused by pilomotor spasm, and bradycardia (30-40 beats/min)
autonomic hyperreflexia - ANSterm used to describe complications that can result from a
spinal cord injury above T6 that is producing paoxysmal hypertension, as well as piloerection
and sweating above the SCI
autonomic hyperreflexia-induced bradycardia - ANSthis is a result of stimulation of the carotid
sinus to the vagus nerve to the SA node
bacteria - ANSphagocytosis involves neutrophils actively attacking, engulfing, and destroying
these microorganisms
benign tumors - ANScells are well differentiated; have a slow growth rate; have a capsule;
have slight vascularization; expansile mode of growth; no ability to metastasize
bradykinins, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins - ANSthese chemical mediators induce pain
during an inflammatory process
carcinomas - ANScancers arising from epithelial cells
causes of conductive hearing loss - ANSimpacted cerumen, foreign bodies, benign tumor of
middle ear
causes of endotoxic shock - ANSproliferation of gram-negative bacteria; once in the blood,
endotoxins cause the release of vasoactive peptides and cytokines, cause decrease oxygen
delivery, and produces subsequent cardiovascular shock.
