Platelets ......ANSWER........Thrombocytes. Granular cell
fragments. Lifespan of 10 days. Release chemicals that cause
adhesion/aggregation and help make clot. 150,000-400,000
Aerobic Metabolism ......ANSWER........Occurs in mitochondria.
90% of energy. Requires oxygen. includes citric acid cycle and
oxidative phosphorylation
,age 2 of 44
Hypertrophy ......ANSWER........Increase in cell size due to
increase in demand. Either physiologic (weight lifting) or
pathologic
The two ways to categorize etiologies are
......ANSWER........Extrinsic vs intrinsic
Congenital vs acquired
Preclinical ......ANSWER........Disease does not yet cause
manifestations
Subclinical ......ANSWER........Disease always stays below the
radar. No manifestations
Sequelae ......ANSWER........Direct, predictable problems from
disease
,age 3 of 44
Complications ......ANSWER........Preventable problems due to a
disease
Mortality ......ANSWER........Number of people who die from a
disease
Primary Prevention ......ANSWER........Intervene before disease
occurs
Secondary Prevention ......ANSWER........Intervene disease in pre-
clinical stage
Tertiary Prevention ......ANSWER........Repair after disease has
passed
Incidence ......ANSWER........Number of new cases in a certain
time frame
, age 4 of 44
Prevalence ......ANSWER........Number of people living with a
disease at one time
Catabolism ......ANSWER........Stored nutrients are broken down
to produce energy. Carbs become glucose
Anabolism ......ANSWER........Complex molecules are formed from
simpler ones. Uses energy
Anaerobic Metabolism (Glycolysis) ......ANSWER........Occurs in
cytoplasm. Glucose is broken down, creating two ATP.
Waste product: pyruvate/pyruvic acid that feeds into aerobic
system if O2 is present. If O2 not present, Pyruvic acid becomes
lactic acid -> metabolic acidosis -> less ATP
Glycolysis is important when ......ANSWER........Cells lack
mitochondria, and during periods of decreased O2 delivery
