1. Describe how your body responds to an infection.: T cells
produce cy-tokines, which stimulate B cells. B cells produce antibodies.
2. Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities.:
Mutations ingenes or chromosomal abnormalities
3. How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities?:
Alterations ofDNA
4. Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how
disruptions affectwellbeing.: (ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause
n/v or dysrhythmias.
5. Explain RAAS: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II > vasoconstric- tion
> release aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water lost
in urine and blood pressure maintained.
6. DKA: increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
7. How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis: retain H and excrete HCO3
8. Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which electrolyte?: Potassium
9. West Nile Virus: Transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Severe
signs and symptoms; high fever, headache and stiff neck
10. Lyme disease: Tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.
