Pressure that is due to albumin in the bloodstream? - ANSWER-Oncotic Oncotic - ANSWER-a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins In the blood, _____ is the most common plasma protein and is, therefore, a primary determinant of oncotic pressure - ANSWER-albumin _____ controls osmotic pressure in vascular system, builds volume - ANSWER-Albumin One question was about the difference in children and adult immunity - ANSWER-Possible answer: naive T cells Learning check question: Whi...

What is Starling's Law of Capillary forces? How does this explain why a nutritionally deficient child would have edema? - ANSWER-Starling's Law describes how fluids move across the capillary membrane. There are two major opposing forces that act to balance each other, hydrostatic pressure (pushing water out of the capillaries) and osmotic pressure (including oncontic pressure, which pushes fluid into the capillaries). Both electrolytes and proteins (oncontic pressure) in the blood affe...

What is the primary determinant of oncotic pressure? - ANSWER-Albumin Form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins - ANSWER-Oncotic Pressure What is the difference between adult and child immunity? - ANSWER-Naive T Cells Fluid and electrolyte levels are regulated by _________________, which regulates actions such as thirst, ADH, the kidneys, and RAAS. - ANSWER-Osmoreceptors What are the causes of dehydration? - ANSWER-#Excessive loss #Inadequate intake #Both What s/sx are associ...

Turner syndrome - ANSWER-A chromosomal disorder in females in which either an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted. Tay-Sachs Disease - ANSWER-A human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the brain. Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a ...

Malara - ANSWERSSymptoms are fever and flulike illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and malaise. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. can cause anemia and jaundice because of the destruction of RBCs. MRSA - ANSWERSSigns and symptoms depend on where the infection causes disease. For example, if the infection occurs in a wound, the wound will be painful, reddened, swollen, and warm to the touch. If the skin infection spreads to the lung, causing pneumonia, or to ...

Describe how your body responds to an infection. - ANSWERST cells produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells. B cells produce antibodies. Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities. - ANSWERSMutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? - ANSWERSAlterations of DNA Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions affect wellbeing. - ANSWERS(ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or dysrhythmias....
