45 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
lesion to this hypothalamic nuclei will cause pt to turn fat
Ventromedial

-eat → stim incr Leptin → stimulate Ventromedial nucleus of thalamus → signals "Satiety" (full)
lesion to this hypothalamic nuclei will cause pt to turn skinny
Lateral

-eat → stim incr Leptin → inhibit Lateral area → turn off "hunger" signal

-b/c Lateral area signal's hunger, and when eat, incr Leptin that inhibits this
lesion to this hypothalamic nuclei will throw off circadian rhythm
Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
this hypothalamic nucleus
regulates parasympathetic NS
anterior & preoptic nuclei

Anterior = Cool off ("A/C" → Anterior Cooling)

-cools by stim'ing PNS that → sweating, etc
this hypothalamic nucleus regulates sympathetic NS
Posterior

-posterior regulates SNS and thus can incr body temp
hypothalamic nucleus to make ADH vs Oxytocin
ADH → Supraoptic nucleus
Oxytocin → Paraventricular nucleus
hypothal nucleus to get retina input
-suprachiasmatic nucleus (to reg circadian rhythm)
lesion to this hypothal nucleus → Diabetes Insipidus
Supraoptic Nucleus

-this makes ADH

vs Paraventricular makes Oxytocin
motor control on which side of body would be affected by lesion of 1 side of Cerebellum vs 1 side of Cortical cerebrum
Cerebellar lesion → Ipsilateral side
Cerebrum → Contralateral motor/sensory

*why?*
-Cerebellum → Contralateral Thalamus → cortex → cortical spinal tract → body is Contralateral to Cortex
ataxia/dystaxia of legs (even if trunk is supported) → broad-based, staggering gait, what is this?
Anterior Lobe (Anterior Vermis) syndrome

-chronic EtOH abuse → Thiamine defic → degen of cerebellar cortex (starts @ anterior lobe)
-lack of voluntary mvmnts
-delays in initiating mvmnts & trouble stopping
-dysmetria
-intention tremor
cerebrocerebellum (lateral hemisphere) lesion

dysmetria = impaired ability to control distance, speed, power of mvmnt
brain lesion causing:
-disequilibrium, abnrl eye mvmnts (cerebellar nystagmus esp when looking to side of lesion)
Vestibulocerebellum (flocculonoduar lobe)
adult brain tumor, pseudopalisading areas of necrosis & hemorrhage
Glioblastoma (grade IV astrocytoma)
kid brain tumor → polycythemia
Hemangioblastoma

-can produce EPO → polycythemia

*a/w von Hippel-Lindau disease
brain tumor a/w Neurofibromatosis II
Schwannoma
cell type in brain tumor a/w von Hipple-Lindau syndrome
-foamy cells w/ high vascularity

Hemangioblastoma
brain tumor w/ foamy cells, high vascularity
Hemangioblastoma

**a/w von Hippel-Lindau disease**
brain tumor → galactorrhea, amenorrhea, anovulation
Pituitary Adenoma

-these are Sx of hyperPRL

**in a M, hyperPRL would → impotence**
brain tumor w/ areas of dystrophic calcification
Meningioma

-"areas of dystrophic calcification" = Psammoma bodies
brain tumor w/ fried-egg appearance
Oligodendroglioma

-oligodentrocytes have the 'fried-egg' appearance
brain tumor w/ pervascular pseudorosettes
Ependymoma "glioma"

-kids
-GFAP(+)
brain tumor w/ bitemporal hemianopia
Pituitary Adenoma, Craniopharyngioma
worst brain tumor prognosis
Glioblastoma
CD surface marker:
displayed only by helper T cells
CD4
-Th1, CD4: secrete IFNγ (activate macrophages, stim more Th1's, inhibit Th2), & IL-2 (stim CD8 cells (makes sense since Th1 work w/ CD8)
-Th2, CD4: secrete IL-4, -5, -10, and help B cells make Ab

CD8 = cytotoxic Th
-kill virus infected cells (incl those w/o MHC expressed), neoplastic, donor grafts
CD surface marker:
-displayed by cytotoxic T cells (& suppressor T cells)
CD8
CD8 = cytotoxic
-kill virus infected cells (incl those w/o MHC expressed), neoplastic, donor grafts


CD4 is Thelper cells
-Th1, CD4: secrete IFNγ (activate macrophages, stim more Th1's, inhibit Th2), & IL-2 (stim CD8 cells (makes sense since Th1 work w/ CD8)
-Th2, CD4: secrete IL-4, -5, -10, and help B cells make Ab
CD surface marker:
found on ALL T cells
CD3 and CD2
CD surface marker:
used to ID B cells
CD19, CD20, CD21
CD surface marker:
inhibits compliment C9 binding
CD55, CD59

-defic in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
CD surface marker:
endotoxin-R on macrophages
CD14
what cytokine:
promotes B cell growth/differentiation
IL-4, IL-5
what cytokine:
growth & activation of eosinophils
IL-5
what cytokine:
secreted by Th & activates macrophages
IFNγ
what cytokine:
enhances synthesis of IgE & IgG
IL-4

"Hot T-Bone stEAk" = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as in:
H, 1: IL-1 is pyrogen (w/ IL-6 & TNF-alpha)
T, 2: IL-2 stim's T cells
B, 3: IL-3 stim's B cells
E, 4: IL-4 stim's IgE & IgG
A, 5: IL-5 stim's IgA & eosinophils
what cytokine:
enhances synth of IgA & eosinophils
IL-5

"Hot T-Bone stEAk"
1 = pyrogen w/ TNF-alpha & IL-6
2 = stim T cell
3 = stim B cell
4 = IgE & IgG
5 = IgA & eosinophils
kid w/ recurrent lung infections & granulomatous lesions...what process is deficient?
Chronic Granulomatous Disease
