Actinic Keratosis - Answer-Premalignant lesion from sun exposure that can →
squamous cell carcinoma.
Adrenal Gland Abnormalities - Answer-Addison's Disease→Hyposecretion of Adrenal
Cortical
Cushing's Disease→Hypersecretion of Adrenal Cortical
Pheochromocytoma→Hypersecretion of catecholamines
Angioma - Answer-benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic vessel
walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these vessels
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Answer-Starts with Acute lung injury/insult (ALI)
First Stage→Respiratory Alkalosis→hyperventilation
Intermediate stage→ACIDOSIS Respiratory→ hypoventilation and Metabolic K⁺ cell
breakdown
Intermediate stage→PULMONARY EDEMA →cell breakdown turns on inflammatory
response
Intermediate state→BLOOD CLOTTING platelets responds to inflammation further
blocking perfusion
Late stage→RESPIRATORY FAILURE continued acidosis
Autonomic Dysreflexia - Answer-is an abnormal cardiovascular response to stimulation
of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system; occurs as a result of
stimulation of the bladder, large intestine, or other visceral organs not being able to
send correct signals

Leukocytes of Inflammation - Answer-They are the major cellular component of the
inflammatory response
The term "LEUKOCYTOSIS" means a higher than normal production of White Blood
Cells (usually neutrophils) in the blood, and is a common indicator of inflammation and
infection.
WBCs are classified as either GRANULOCYTES or AGRANULOCYTES
Types of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) - Answer-Ischemic Throbmitic CVA
