|
Explain the process by which a cell undergoes lysosomal rupture during hypoxic injury

Energy to fuel Na/K pump and drives the Myosin/Actin cross-bridge
|
|
Would a decrease in ADH secretion (diabetes insipidus) result in hypervolemia or does it cause hypovolemia? Why?
|
Hypovolemia. Decreased ADH causes decreased H2O in blood and thus a lower blood volume

|
Kidneys/ Aldosterone
|
|
|

How would you treat a diabetic for hyperkalemia?
|
Administer insulin and glucose
|
|
Mild hyperkalemia reults in tachycardia. Why?
|
Potassium is positibely charges which brings the cell from -70 towards -50 depolarizing the cell and causing more frequent contractions and therefore a faster heartrate
|
|
This cellular adaptation leads to an increase in protein anabolism
|
Atrophy
|
|
This type of lysosome contains activated enzymes
|
Secondary lysosomes
|
|
This type of cellular adaptation occurs in the uterus during pregnancy(hint: two word answer)
|
Hormonal hypertrophy
|
|
The loss of this organelle during hypoxic injury signals that the cell has undergone an irreversible injury
|
Mitochondria / lysosome
|
|
This histologic change during necrosis appears like small condensed nuclei
|
Pyknosis
|
|
In addition to lysosomal rupture what other condition must exist in the cell in order for autodigestion to occur?
|
Acidosis
|
|
Liquefaction necrosis looks "liquidy" because it occurs in organs that lack this type of tissue
|
Connective tissue
|
|
Hyponatremia will stimulate the release of this hormone
|
Aldosterone
|
|
Does water deprivation lead to hypovolemia or does it lead to hypervolemia?
|
Hypovolemia
|
|
Would an increase in ADH secretion lead to an increase or a decrease in osmolarity?
