A comprehensive set of questions and answers covering key concepts in pathophysiology. It includes definitions of terms like etiology, pathogenesis, atrophy, hypertrophy, and hyperplasia, as well as explanations of various disorders, including chromosomal disorders, electrolyte imbalances, and acid-base balance. The document also covers the immune system, including innate and adaptive immunity, and the different types of antibodies. Finally, it explores genetic disorders, including autosomal recessive and dominant disorders, and x-linked disorders.

Etiology - CORRECT-ANSWERSCause of particular disease on microscopic level Pathogenesis - CORRECT-ANSWERSStory of how disease develops Atrophy - CORRECT-ANSWERSDecrease in the size of the cells, results in reduced tissue mass Hypertrophy - CORRECT-ANSWERSIncrease in cell size, results in enlarged tissue mass Hyperplasia - CORRECT-ANSWERSIncreased number of cells, results in enlarged tissue mass Types of Chromosomal Disorders - CORRECT-ANSWERSDown's Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome Down's Syndrome - CORRECT-ANSWERSTrisomy 21 Turner Syndrome - CORRECT-ANSWERSOnly affects females, short stature, infertility, XO Klinefelter Syndrome - CORRECT-ANSWERSOnly affects males, develop breasts and small testes, extra X chromosome present XXY Intracellular Fluid - CORRECT-ANSWERSFluid inside the cell, accounts for 2/ of body water Extracellular Fluid - CORRECT-ANSWERSFluid outside the cell, IVF (intravascular fluid or blood plasma), ISF (interstitial fluid or fluid between tissues and blood), CSF, and Transcellular fluid (Synovial, Pericardial cavities) Hydrostatic Pressure - CORRECT-ANSWERSPush, typically happens at the arterial level
Osmotic Pressure - CORRECT-ANSWERSPull, typically on the veinous level, wherever the waste needs to be eliminated from the body Isotonic Solutions - CORRECT-ANSWERSCompletely balanced solutions, blood, NS Hypotonic Solutions - CORRECT-ANSWERSLess solute so its less concentrated, only a few pepper flakes, 0.45% NaCl (1/2 NS) Give this to dehydrated pt Hypertonic Solutions - CORRECT-ANSWERSMore solute, so its more concentrated, lots of pepper flakes, 3.0-5.0% NaCl Give this to cerebral edema pt Na+ Normal Range - CORRECT-ANSWERS135-145 mEq/L K+ Normal Range - CORRECT-ANSWERS3.5-5.0 mEq/L Cl- Normal Range - CORRECT-ANSWERS98-106 mEq/L Ca2+ Normal Range - CORRECT-ANSWERS8.5-10.5 mEq/L Mg2+ Normal Range - CORRECT-ANSWERS1.4-2.1 mEq/L Hyponatremia - CORRECT-ANSWERSLow sodium due to rapid dehydration Hypernatremia - CORRECT-ANSWERSHigh sodium, slower dehydration, ex: old person who can't get up to drink water frequently enough Hypokalemia - CORRECT-ANSWERSLow potassium, cardiac arrhythmia, leg cramping, decreased bowel sounds Hyperkalemia - CORRECT-ANSWERSHigh potassium, cardiac arrest, muscle weakness, hyperactive bowel sounds Hypocalcemia - CORRECT-ANSWERSweak bones and teeth, severe muscle cramping, Trousseau and Chvostek signs, caused by not ingesting enough calcium or vitamin D Hypercalcemia - CORRECT-ANSWERSlethargy, bone pain, may be indicative of bone cancer, immobility, bone deteriorates hypomagnecemia - CORRECT-ANSWERStremors, tachycardia, confusion hypermagnecemia - CORRECT-ANSWERSvasodialation, nausea, emesis, hypotensive, cardiac arrest

Iatrogenic - CORRECT-ANSWERSillness or disease process because a medical process was done ex: CAUTI Autosomal Recessive Disorders - CORRECT-ANSWERSHas to have two recessive genes to have disease, only one recessive gene to be carrier ex: Cystic fibrosis, PKU (phenylketonuria), Tay-Sachs Cystic fibrosis - CORRECT-ANSWERSautosomal recessive disorder that causes thick mucous secretions PKU (phenylketonuria) - CORRECT-ANSWERSautosomal recessive disorder that causes an inability to metabolize phenylalanine. Can cause mental retardation. Pt must follow strict very low protein diet Tay-Sachs - CORRECT-ANSWERSautosomal recessive disorder that causes an enzyme to not be produced causing fatty proteins build up causing destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord Autosomal Dominant Disorders - CORRECT-ANSWERSOnly takes one gene for disease to show.
