Describe how your body responds to an infection.
T cells produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells. B cells produce antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities.
Mutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities?
Alterations of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions affect wellbeing.
(ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n\/v or dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nproduce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II > vasoconstriction >
release aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water lost in
urine and blood pressure maintained.
DKA
Increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nRetain H and excrete HCO3
Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which electrolyte?
Potassium
West Nile Virus
Transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Severe signs and symptoms; high

Spinal bifida
Trousseau’s sign
Arm\/carpal spasm associated with hypocalcaemia
Cause and sign of spinal bifida
Results from failure of neural tube to close. sign – fluid filled sac on lower back.
Hemophilia is more common in<\/p>\n\n\n\nmales
Prenatal exposure to alcohol includes
ND-PAE, decreased brain function, FAS
Connective vs muscle tissue disorders
Connective- RA, Scleroderma, Lupus
Muscle – MS, Muscular dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravia
Describe Lupus
Inflammatory disorder characterized by joint pain and butterfly rash
Describe Myasthenia Gravis
It is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies attack own Ach receptors. This causes
weakness of skeletal muscles over the course of the day, along with ptosis, double
vision, and difficulty swallowing.
Dermatitis
Inflammation of the skin
Eczema
Noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease characterized by redness, blisters, scabs, and
itching
Decubitus ulcer
Sore caused by lying down for long periods of time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WGU PATHOPHYSIOLOGY D236Describe how your body responds to an infection.T cells produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells.
