|
percentage of individuals who have a specific genotype who also exhibit the expected phenotype
|
|
Incomplete penetrance
|
may be that individuals who have the genotype do not exhibit the phenotype at all even if the disease has been transmitted to the next generation.
|
|
Obligate carriers are those individuals
|
who are known carriers of an autosomal dominant trait because they have an affected parent and affected child but do not have the disease themselves.

|
when a stressor triggers the actions of the hypothalamus and SNS
|

|
|
Stress response is initiate by corticotropin releasing hormone....CRH is released from the
|
hypothalamus, SNS, pituitary gland, adrenal gland
|
|
the SNS arousable causes
|
the medulla of the adrenal gland to release catecholamines (80% ep, 20% norepi)into the blood stream
|
|
both catecholamines bind to
|
alpha and beta receptors
|
|
Norepinephrine causes
|
vasoconstriction of smooth muscle and raises blood pressure, dilates pupils of the eye, increases sweat gland action in the armpits and palms
|
|
Epinephrine is the principal catecholamine involved in metabolic reactions
|
increases inotropic and chronotropic effects and increases venous return to the heart which increases cardiac output and blood pressure. Glucose is preserved for the nervous system by epinephrine as well.
|
|

|
activity of T helper 1 cells
|
|
Cortisol inc
|
activity of T helper 2 cells
|
|
Stress-Age Syndrome
|
is what occurs as we age when a set of neurohormonal and immune alterations as well as tissue and cellular changes develop.
|
|
These age changes include
|
immunodepression, hypercoagulation of blood, free radical damage of cells and others so obviously when dealing with life stessors and the potential for illness in older individuals you may change your plan of care as opposed to dealing with someone younger.
