CN-VII

Front 5

1. In kernicterus, what is deposited and where is it depositied, specifically?

2. Patient's with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis are at an increased risk for what type of cancer?

Back 5

1. kernicterus: unconjugated bilirubin in the basal ganglia (caudate nucleus)

2. B-cell lymphoma

Front 6

1. What is the function of the nucleolus?

Back 6

1. Synthesize ribosomal RNA

2. IgM/IgG

Front 7

What is the difference between RNA polymerase I and RNA polymerase II?

Back 7

The cytoplasm contains both of these but only RNA polymerase I is in the nucleolus helping to synthesize ribosomal RNA

Front 8

2. Where is the chemoreceptor trigger zone?

3. What fungus is responsible for a "fungus ball"? How does a fungus ball occur?

Back 8

1. dimercaperol crosses the BBB

2. floor of the 4th ventricle

3. aspergillus takes residence in an existing cavitary lesion (Tb, cancer, etc.)

Front 9

1. The obturator nerve causes thigh ADduction. What nerve causes thigh ABduction?

2. Name the two intramolecular transport motor proteins and the directions in which they travel? Which do viruses use to gain access to the CNS*?

3. What type of brain herniation will affect breathing?

2. Compare the replication/enzymes involved during retrovirus infection with negative ssRNA virus infection?

Back 10

1. serotonin

2. retrovirus: RNA dependent DNA polymerase makes DNA; ssRNA-: RNA dependent RNA polymerase makes +RNA

Front 11

2. Tropic: entire small bowel; celiac: proximal small bowel

3. chronic

Front 13

1. Compare the elimination of doxycycline and tetracycline?

2. Steroids cause bone loss primarily through osteoblast effects or osteoclast effects?

Back 13

1. tetra: renal; doxy: liver

2. inhibit osteoblasts primarily; this also induces osteoclasts
