gregor mendel
Genomic imprinting is more common in
more common in IVF
achrondroplasia
autosomal dominant , dwarfism
Penetrance is
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.
Huntington’s disease is an example of
age dependent penetrance.
Genomic imprinting is when
when a mutation inherited from the father or the mother give different clinical symptoms.
Dosage compensation is
that one of the x chromosomes in women are inactive because when x linked diseases are seen they are typically in equal severity on men and women.

Y (SRY)
Incidence rate
number of new cases of a disease reported during a specific period divided by the number of individuals in the population

Experience stress when a demand exceeds
persons coping ability
Alarm stage
when a stressor triggers the actions of the hypothalamus and SNS
Stage of resistance or adaptation
occurs with the actions of the adrenal hormones cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine
Stage of exhaustion
marks continuous stress, unsuccessful adaptation and body impairment
reactive response
is a physiologic response derived from psychologic stressors
Anticipatory response
no reaction to a stressor but physiologic response like reacting to a certain predator
Conditional response
learning that certain things are associated with certain feelings i.e. danger, fear
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.
Cortisol dec
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.
