SJ FILE

explanations, comments, pictures (edited in MARCH 2018)

Explanations:
- the total number of Qs is different than in the original file, because I don’t like repeated Qs, so I was removing
some while editing
- the numbering system is different than in the original file, because I wanted to fit some pictures on a certain
page and due to that I had to move around some Qs, so Qs #123 in this file might be #150 in the original file:
I was regretting that step while studying with other people, but there’s nothing I can do now
- usually the Qs in this file compared to the original are within +/- 20 Qs range, so if you are discussing a Qs with
someone else look for it on a certain page, page up & page down = you will find it
- this file is a combination between two SJ files available on the group (forgot which ones), if there was a
difference in an answer I would look it up and post an explanation
- I edited a lot of answers while studying with others, I believe these answers are correct and have minor
mistakes
- I passed studying from this file
- questions with “????” → I didn’t understand the qs and I am not sure of the answer

168. Why antibiotics give relief in peptic ulcer disease: ELIMINATE H. PYLORI,  ACID SECRETION (PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS)
169. Which nerve to cut to treat peptic ulcer: VAGUS

The vagus nerves play a central role in regulating gastric acid production. Vagotomy performed in conjunction with either pyloroplasty
or antrectomy was once the gold standard for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. The following decades saw the development of
histamine H2-receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors, along with the discovery of the role Helicobacter pylori plays in peptic
ulcer disease. The success of these modern nonsurgical therapies reduced the incidence of ulcer-related complications requiring surgical
interventions. When surgical interventions are required, technological advances have allowed vagotomy to be performed with
minimally invasive techniques with fewer procedure-related complications.

175. Afferent of Breuer reflex of the lung: STRETCH RECEPTORS, CARRIED BY VAGUS NERVE TO PREVENT OVER-INFLATION

The Hering–Breuer inflation reflex is a reflex triggered to prevent over-inflation of the lung. Pulmonary stretch receptors present in the
smooth muscle of the airways respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.
Once activated, they send action potentials through large myelinated fibers of the vagus nerve to the inspiratory area in the medulla
and apneustic center of the pons. In response, the inspiratory area is inhibited directly and the apneustic center is inhibited from
activating the inspiratory area. This inhibits inspiration, allowing expiration to occur.

The Hering–Breuer deflation reflex serves to shorten exhalation proprioceptors activated by lung deflation. Like the inflation reflex,
impulses from these receptors when the lung is deflated. It is initiated either by stimulation of stretch receptors or stimulation of travel
afferently via the vagus. Unlike the inflation reflex, the afferents terminate on inspiratory centers rather than the pontine apneustic
center. These reflexes appear to play a more minor role in humans than in non-human mammals.

176. Sharp pain: A-DELTA

189. Howship lacunae: OSTEOCLASTS (BONY REMODELING)

Osteoclasts occupy small depressions on the bone’s surface, called Howship lacunae; the lacunae are thought to be caused by erosion
of the bone by the osteoclasts’ enzymes. Osteoclasts are formed by the fusion of many cells derived from circulating monocytes in the
blood. These in turn are derived from the bone marrow.

190. Oxidative decarboxylation: PYRUVATE, ISOCITRATE, A-KETOGLUTARATE DEHYDROGENASE

Once glycolysis takes place in the cells cytoplasm it produces pyruvate, which continues on and into the matrix of the mitochondria.
The Krebs cycle is the next step of cellular respiration, but before the Krebs cycle takes place we need another step called Oxidative
Decarboxylation which has to convert pyruvate into acetyl-CoA.
The following steps occur:
1. A carboxyl group is removed as CO2. This is the decarboxylation part.
2. Then the remaining 2-carbon part is oxidized by NAD+. The NAD+ gains two hydrogen’s and the remaining two-carbon compound
becomes an acetic acid.
3. Then a coenzyme A (CoA) attaches to the acetic acid part forming acetyl-CoA. This is the molecule that is needed to continue in the
Krebs Cycle.

191. Weil-Felix test: ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER

195. All cause atrophy in the muscles except: EXCESSIVE HORMONAL STIMULATION

Atrophy is caused by disuse, pressure,  blood supply.

196. Gamma fibers: INTRAFUSAL FIBERS, INNERVATE MUSCLE SPINDLE, MAINTAIN MUSCLE TONE

Gamma motor neuron is a type of LMN that takes part in the process of muscle contraction, and represents about 30% of fibers going
to the muscle. Like alpha motor neurons, their cell bodies are located in the anterior grey column of the spinal cord. They receive input
from the reticular formation of the pons in the brainstem.
Although muscles can be in a relaxed state, muscles have a general resting level of tension. This is termed muscle tone and is maintained
by the motor neurons innervating the muscle. Its purpose is to maintain posture and assist in quicker movements, since if muscles were
completely loose, then more neuronal firing would need to take place.

197. Warfarin tested by: PT (PROTHROMBIN TIME, EXTRINSIC PATHWAY)

Mnemonic: EX PresidenT went to WARFARIN

Warfarin is a prescription medication that interferes with normal blood clotting (coagulation). It is an anticoagulant. The clotting test
used to measure the effect of warfarin is the prothrombin time. The PT is a laboratory test that measures the time it takes for a clot to
form. It is measured in seconds. It is particularly sensitive to the clotting factors affected by warfarin. The PT is also used to compute
the measure most commonly used to adjust the warfarin dose, known as the INR (or International Normalized Ratio).

198. H2 receptors, increase gastric secretion: HISTAMINE

Histamine is a ubiquitous messenger molecule released from mast cells, enterochromaffin-like cells, and neurons. Its various actions
are mediated by histamine receptors H1, H2, H3 and H4. The histamine receptor H2 belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-
coupled receptors. It is an integral membrane protein and stimulates gastric acid secretion. It also regulates gastrointestinal motility
and intestinal secretion and is thought to be involved in regulating cell growth and differentiation.

199. Interferon’s anti-viral effect: INHIBITS REPLICATION

Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several pathogens,
such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and also tumor cells. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing
nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses. IFNs belong to the large class of proteins known as cytokines, molecules used for
communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that help eradicate pathogens. Interferons are
named for their ability to "interfere" with viral replication by protecting cells from virus infections.

219. Differences between dystrophic calcification and metastatic calcification: DYSTROPHIC OCCURS IN NECROTIZING TISSUES

Dystrophic calcification is the calcification occurring in degenerated or necrotic tissue. This occurs as a reaction to tissue damage,
including as a consequence of medical device implantation. Dystrophic calcification can occur even if the amount of calcium in the
blood is not elevated.
Metastatic calcification is deposition of calcium salts in otherwise normal tissue, because of elevated serum levels of calcium, as seen
in hyperparathyroidism.
These differences in pathology also mean that metastatic calcification is often found in many tissues, whereas dystrophic calcification
is localized. Metastatic calcification can occur widely throughout the body but principally affects the interstitial tissues of the
vasculature, kidneys, lungs, and gastric mucosa. For the latter three, acid secretions or rapid changes in pH levels contribute to the
formation of salts.

220. Respiratory acidosis is caused by: HYPOVENTILATION,  T,  BPG

Asthma, COPD, emphysema, cardiac arrest, acute pulmonary edema are some of the causes.

221. Hyperventilation causes: RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS (CO2 & PH)

222. Suicide inhibitor: SUBLACTAM

Suicide inhibition (suicide inactivation or mechanism-based inhibition) is an irreversible form of enzyme inhibition that occurs when an
enzyme binds a substrate analogue and forms an irreversible complex with it through a covalent bond. The inhibitor binds to the active
site where it is modified by the enzyme to produce a reactive group that reacts irreversibly to form a stable inhibitor-enzyme complex.
Examples: aspirin, clavulanic acid, fluorouracil, penicillin, sublactam, allopurinol, AZT, exemestane
Thymydylate synthatase is an important enzyme, which inhibition is used in cancer treatment.

Augmentin = amoxicillin + clavulanic acid

Parietal cells (oxyntic), are the epithelial cells that secrete HCl and intrinsic factor. These cells are located in the gastric glands found in
the lining of the fundus and in the body of the stomach. They contain an extensive secretory network (called canaliculi) from which the
HCl is secreted by active transport into the stomach. The enzyme hydrogen potassium ATPase (H+/K+ ATPase) is unique to the parietal
cells and transports the H+ against a concentration gradient of about 3 million to 1, which is the steepest ion gradient form ed in the
human body. Parietal cells are primarily regulated via histamine, acetylcholine and gastrin signaling from both central and local
modulators.

285. Phagocytes in TMJ: SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE

Morphologically, the synovial membrane consists of two layers: an inner cell layer (intima) and a support layer (vascular subintima),
which mixes with the fibrous capsule.
The intima consists of cells embedded in an amorphous, fiber-free matrix with an approximate thickness of one to four cells. It contains
macrophage-like type A cells with phagocytic ability, and fibroblast-like type B cells that synthesize proteins, glycoproteins, and
proteoglycans.
The subintima consists of loose CT with blood vessels, fibroblasts, macrophages, mastocytes, adipose cells, and some elastic fibers that
prevent membrane folding.

TEETH, TO AID IN LATERAL MOVEMENT OF MN MOLARS
298. MX canine: DICTATES THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE BONE

Permanent maxillary canines have roots that, although under bone, dictate overlying cortical bone morphology.
The bulge created by the maxillary canine's roots is known as the canine eminence. This bulge is easily palpable.
Initiation of calcification: 4 – 5 Months
Completion of enamel: 6 – 7 Years
Eruption: 11 – 12 Years
Root completion: 13 – 15 Years

299. Crepitus of the TMJ: OSTEOARTHRITIS

Crepitus (grinding sound) is usually an indication of advanced TMJ damage (degenerative changes). Crepitus is usually due to a tear in
the disc or the posterior attachment which produces bone to bone contact of the mandibular condyle with the joint socket in the base
of the skull (glenoid fossa).

300. Why capillaries have the slowest flow: GREATER CROSS SECTION AREA

The reason of the slower flow of the capillaries is that their united area is considerably greater than that of the arteries supplying them,
so that the same quantity of blood flowing through them in a given time has a wider channel to flow in and therefore moves mo re
slowly.
Substances pass through the capillary wall by diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. Oxygen and carbon dioxide move across the capillary
wall by diffusion. Fluid movement across a capillary wall is determined by a combination of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. The net
result of the capillary microcirculation created by hydrostatic and osmotic pressure is that substances leave the blood at one end of the
capillary and return at the other end.

310. Important for bone integrity, taken as a medication: VIT. D
311. Masseter muscle reflex when it is: STRETCHED

The jaw jerk reflex (masseter reflex) is a stretch reflex used to test the status of CN V and to help distinguish an upper cervical cord
compression from lesions that are above the foramen magnum.
The mandible is tapped at a downward angle just below the lips at the chin while the mouth is held slightly open. In response, the
masseter muscles will jerk the mandible upwards. Normally this reflex is absent or very slight. However, in individuals with UMN lesions
the jaw jerk reflex can be quite pronounced.
The jaw jerk reflex can be classified as a dynamic stretch reflex. The response to the stimulus is monosynaptic, with sensory neurons of
the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus sending axons to the trigeminal motor nucleus, which in turn innervates the masseter. This reflex
is used to judge the integrity of the upper motor neurons projecting to the trigeminal motor nucleus. Both the sensory and mo tor
aspects of this reflex are through CN V.

312. Regulatory enzyme in cholesterol synthesis: HMG CoA REDUCTASE

313. Patient is pale & not responding: SYNCOPE

Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It’s also called fainting or "passing
out”. It most often occurs when blood pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart doesn't pump enough oxygen to the brain. It can
be benign or a symptom of an underlying medical condition.

329. Bacillary dysentery: SHIGELLA SPP.
330. Metastatic calcifications: HYPERPARATHYRODISM

Metastatic calcification is the deposition of calcium salts in otherwise normal tissue, because of  serum levels of calcium, which can
occur because of deranged metabolism as well as increased absorption or decreased excretion of calcium and related minerals, as seen
in hyperparathyroidism. This occurs either from the parathyroid glands in appropriately making too much PTH (primary
hyperparathyroidism) or other events triggering increased production by the parathyroid glands (secondary hyperparathyroidism).
Most people with primary disease have no symptoms at the time of diagnosis. In those with symptoms the most common is kidney
stones with other potential symptoms including weakness, depression, bone pains, confusion, and increased urination. Both typ es
increase the risk of weak bones.
Primary hyperparathyroidism in 80% of cases is due to a single benign tumor known as a parathyroid adenoma with most of the rest
of the cases due to a multiple benign tumors. Rarely it may be due to parathyroid cancer. Secondary hyperparathyroidism typically
occurs due to vitamin D deficiency, chronic kidney disease, or other causes of low blood calcium. Diagnosis of primary disease is by
finding a high blood calcium and high PTH levels.

2. CN XII: genioglossus muscles have bilateral muscle innervaton.

352. Microangiopathy from diabetes mellitus is due to: HYPERGLYCEMIA

Also: glycosuria, hyperlipidemia & ketonuria.

One cause of microangiopathy is long-term diabetes mellitus. In this case, high blood glucose levels cause the endothelial cells lining
the blood vessels to take in more glucose than normal (these cells do not depend on insulin). They then form more glycoproteins on
their surface than normal, and also cause the basement membrane in the vessel wall to grow abnormally thicker and weaker. They
bleed, leak protein, and slow the flow of blood through the body. As a result, some organs and tissues do not get enough blood (carrying
oxygen & nutrients) and are damaged, for example, the retina (diabetic retinopathy) or kidney (diabetic nephropathy). Nerves and
neurons, if not sufficiently supplied with blood, are also damaged, which leads to loss of function (diabetic neuropathy, esp ecially
peripheral neuropathy).
Massive microangiopathy may cause microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA).

353. Which branch of carotid artery is not in the carotid triangle: SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL
354. MOA of rifampin: INHIBITS RNA SYNTHESIS (& PROTEIN SYNTHESIS) BY INHIBITING THE DNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE

Rifampicin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by inhibiting bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. It binds away from the active
site. The inhibitor prevents RNA synthesis by physically blocking elongation, and thus preventing synthesis of host bacterial proteins.
By this "steric-occlusion" mechanism, rifampicin blocks synthesis of the second or third phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides
in the RNA backbone, preventing elongation of the 5' end of the RNA transcript past more than 2 or 3 nucleotides.

355. MOA of fluorouracil: SUICIDE INHIBITOR OF THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE

Fluorouracil (Adrucil) is a medication used to treat cancer by injection into a vein it is used for colon cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach
cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer. As a cream it is used for actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma.
Common side effects include inflammation of the mouth, loss of appetite, low blood cell counts, hair loss, and inflammation of the skin.
When used as a cream irritation at the site of application may occur. Use of either form in pregnancy may harm the baby. Fluorouracil
is in the antimetabolite and pyrimidine analog families of medications. How it works is not entirely clear but believed to involve blocking
the action of thymidylate synthase and thus stopping the production of DNA.

Associate acidosis & hyperkalemia – when there is an excess of H+ in the blood, K+ leaves the cell in exchange for H+.

369. What would not cause metabolic acidosis: HYPERVENTILATION

Kussmaul breathing is a deep and labored breathing pattern often associated with severe metabolic acidosis, particularly diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA) but also kidney failure. It is a form of hyperventilation, which is any breathing pattern that reduces carbon dioxide
in the blood due to increased rate or depth of respiration.

370. What is the virulence factor of Neisseria meningitidis: CAPSULE

Neisseria meningitidis, often referred to as meningococcus, is a Gram-negative bacterium that can cause meningitis.
Lipopolysaccharide is a component of the outer membrane of N. meningitidis. This acts as an endotoxin and is responsible for septic
shock and hemorrhage due to the destruction of red blood cells. Other virulence factors include a polysaccharide capsule which prevents
host phagocytosis and aids in evasion of the host immune response; fimbriae mediate attachment of the bacterium to the epithelial
cells of the nasopharynx.

Histoplasmosis (“Cave disease”, "Darling's disease”, "Ohio valley disease”, "reticuloendotheliosis”) is a disease caused by the fungus
Histoplasma capsulatum. The disease affects primarily the lungs. Occasionally, other organs are affected; this is called disseminated
histoplasmosis, and it can be fatal if left untreated. Histoplasmosis is common among AIDS patients because of their suppressed
immunity. In immunocompetent individuals, past infection results in partial protection against ill effects if reinfected. Histoplasma
capsulatum is found in soil, often associated with decaying bat guano or bird droppings. Disruption of soil from excavation or
construction can release infectious elements that are inhaled and settle into the lung.

395. What protozoa are spread in cat feces: TOXOPLASMOSA GONDII
396. Which of the following is carried by a vector: RICKETSSIA

Rickettsia is a nonmotile, gram-negative, nonspore-forming, highly pleomorphic bacteria that can be present as cocci, rods, or
thread-like. Being obligate intracellular parasites, the Rickettsia survival depends on entry, growth, and replication within the
cytoplasm of eukaryotic host cells (typically endothelial cells). Rickettsia cannot live in artificial nutrient environments and is grown
either in tissue or embryo cultures; typically, chicken embryos are used.

401. What is the final electron receptor in ETC: OXYGEN
402. What measures partial pressure of oxygen: CAROTID BODY

The carotid body is a small cluster of chemoreceptors and supporting cells located near the bifurcation of the carotid artery. It detects
changes in the composition of arterial blood flowing through it, mainly the partial pressure of oxygen, but also of carbon dioxide.
Furthermore, it is also sensitive to changes in pH and temperature.

403. Hyperventillation alters the acid balance of arteries by:  CO2 &  pH
404. Which layer of epidermis does not have tonofilaments: BASALE

1. Stratum Basale: the deepest layer, has keratinocytes, the keratinocytes are attached to the basement membrane by
hemidemosomes.
2. Stratum Spinosum: high molecular weight keratin with a lot of tonofilaments
3. Stratum Granulosum: disulfide bonds begin to cross-link with tonofilaments.
4. Stratum Lucidum: the cytoplasm consists almost entirely of tonofilaments.
5. Stratum Corneum: the most superficial layer, the cells are called squames, filled with cross linked of tonofilaments.
27
405. What will you find in stratum granulosum: KERATOHYALIN GRANULES
406. Which organ has activated PCK: BRAIN

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
While PCK1 is mainly expressed in the liver and kidney, PCK2 is ubiquitously expressed in various cell types,
including leukocytes and neurons, as well as in non-gluconeogenic tissues like pancreas, brain, heart. Moreover, while PCK1 expression
is regulated by hormones or nutrients involved in gluconeogenesis, PCK2 is constitutively expressed. These differences indicate that
PCK2 may also perform non-gluconeogenic functions.

407. What are the steps of DNA amplification: DENATURATION, ANNEALING, ELONGATION

All the PCR components are mixed together and are taken through series of 3 major cyclic reactions conducted in an automated, self-
contained thermocycler machine.
1. Denaturation:
Heating the reaction mixture to 94°C for 15-30 seconds → DNA is denatured to single strands due to breakage in weak hydrogen bonds.
2. Annealing:
Temperature is rapidly lowered to 54-60°C for 20-40 seconds → the primers bind (anneal) to their complementary sequence in the
template DNA.
3. Elongation (extension):
Occurs at 72-80°C (most commonly 72°C) → the polymerase adds bases to the 3′ each primer, extending the DNA sequence in the 5′ to
3′ direction. Under optimal conditions, DNA polymerase will add about 1,000 bp/minute.
With one cycle, a single segment of double-stranded DNA template is amplified into two separate pieces of double-stranded DNA.
These two pieces are then available for amplification in the next cycle. As the cycles are repeated, more and more copies are generated
and the number of copies of the template is increased exponentially.

Retinopathy is any damage to the retina of the eyes, which may cause vision impairment. Retinopathy often refers to retinal vascular
disease, or damage to the retina caused by abnormal blood flow. Age-related macular degeneration is technically included under the
umbrella term retinopathy but is often discussed as a separate entity. Retinopathy, or retinal vascular disease, can be broadly
categorized into proliferative and non- proliferative types. Frequently, retinopathy is an ocular manifestation of systemic disease as
seen in diabetes or hypertension. Diabetes is the most common cause of retinopathy in the USA. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading
cause of blindness in working-aged people. It accounts for about 5% of blindness worldwide and is designated a priority eye disease by
the WHO.

and facial bones. In America, the abdomen is MC affected.

438. Diabetic patient, using insulin. What cells are destroyed: BETA CELLS
439. Patient with Grave’s disease, in lab findings you will see:  TSH &  T3, T4

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that leads to a generalized over activity of the entire thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism,
thyrotoxicosis, diffuse toxic goiter). It is the MC cause of hyperthyroidism in the USA. It is 7-8 x MC in women than men (20-40 years
old). TSH is produced when the hypothalamus releases a substance called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then triggers the
pituitary gland to release TSH. TSH causes the thyroid gland to make two hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). T3 and
T4 help control your body's metabolism. Characterized by exophthalmos, tachycardia, heat intolerance, and fine tremor, warm, moist
skin, and fine hair. Range from anxiety & restlessness to insomnia & weight loss, eyeballs may begin to protrude (exophthalmos) causing
irritation & tearing.

440. Above case, larynx enlargement is due to: HYPERPLASIA

441. After surgery patient suffers from hypocalcemia, how will you explain it: PARATHYROID ACCIDENTAL RECESSION OR DAMAGE
442. MOA of hyperthyroidism and TSH receptor: ANTIBODIES AGAINST TSH RECEPTORS (INTRACELLULAR RECEPTORS)
443. Above case, the receptor is similar to: FAB

TSH receptor: upon binding circulating thyrotropin, a G-protein signal cascade activates adenylyl cyclase and intracellular levels of
cAMP rise. cAMP activates all functional aspects of the thyroid cell, including iodine pumping; thyroglobulin synthesis, iodination,
endocytosis and proteolysis; thyroid peroxidase activity; and hormone release.

“The TSH receptor binding and thyroid stimulating properties of (Fab)2 and Fab fragments of Graves' IgG have been investigated.
(Fab)2 fragments were prepared by pepsin digestion of IgG and Fab fragments by reduction of (Fab)2 or papain digestion of IgG. (Fab)2
and Fab were effective in inhibiting TSH binding to its receptor with all five patients' sera studied and both preparations stimulated
cyclic AMP release from isolated thyroid cells. However Fab fragments were less active thyroid stimulators than their parent (Fab)2 in
all five cases. These studies indicate that antibody divalency is not essential for thyroid stimulation by TSH receptor antibodies.” – I
checked multiple articles and they were mentioning only FAB as a binding site.

444. T-cell receptor binding: FAB

447. What kind of disease will cause lack of vitamin B12: PERNICIOUS ANEMIA
448. When infundibulum is dissected, which hormone is stopped: VASOPRESSIN (ADH) & OXYTOCIN
30
449. Cutting infundibulum without cutting hypophyseal portal system, all of the following will  except: PROLACTIN

Answers from the group & web:

1. Prolactin is the only hormone that is suppressed by the hypothalamus via the stalk (infundibulum) whereas the rest are
functioning normally under the influence of the stimulators released from the hypothalamus via same stalk. So, it is logical to
say, that once that stalk is cut, the inhibition on prolactin is lifted so its secretion will increase whereas the rest of the hormones
will decrease.

2. Prolactin Inhibiting Factor (dopamine) is released from hypothalamus to act on anterior pituitary. When hypophyseal portal
system is cut, this inhibitory signal is banned → prolactin release will increase. By dissecting the infundibulum, the portal
system is going to remain intact, so there will be no effect in anterior pituitary hormones action.

Wikipedia: damage to the pituitary stalk blocks the release of antidiuretic hormone, resulting in polydypsia (abusive water intake) and
polyuria (excessive urination).

450. Motion found in the small intestine: SEGMENTATION

Unlike peristalsis, which predominates in the esophagus, segmentation contractions occur in the large intestine and small intestine,
while predominating in the latter. While peristalsis involves one-way motion in the caudal direction, segmentation contractions move
chyme in both directions, which allows greater mixing with the secretions of the intestines. Segmentation involves contractions of the
circular muscles in the digestive tract, while peristalsis involves rhythmic contractions of the longitudinal muscles in the gastrointestinal
tract. Unlike peristalsis, segmentation actually can slow progression of chyme through the system.

478. Preganglionic nerve for otic ganglion: LESSER PETROSAL NERVE
479. What substance is used to measure GFR: INULIN

Inulin and it’s analog sinistrin are used to help measure kidney function by determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is
the volume of fluid filtered from the renal glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. Inulin is of particular use as
it is not secreted or reabsorbed in any appreciable amount at the nephron, allowing GFR to be calculated. However, due to clinical
limitations, inulin and sinistrin, although characterized by better handling features, are rarely used for this purpose and creatinine
values are the standard for determining an approximate GFR.

480. Which cells secrete IF: PARIETAL CELLS

481. Which one is not an autoimmune disease: ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS

Hemolytic disease of the newborn (hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, HDN, HDFN, or erythroblastosis fetalis) is an
alloimmune condition that develops in a fetus, when the IgG molecules (one of the five main types of antibodies) produced by the
mother pass through the placenta. Among these antibodies are some which attack antigens on the RBC in the fetal circulation, breaking
down and destroying the cells (hemolysis). Alloimmunity (sometimes called isoimmunity) is an immune response to nonself antigens
from members of the same species, which are called alloantigens or isoantigens. Two major types of alloantigens are blood gro up
antigens and histocompatibility antigens. In alloimmunity, the body creates antibodies against the alloantigens, attacking transfused
blood, allotransplanted tissue, and even the fetus in some cases. Alloimmune (isoimmune) response results in graft rejection, which is
manifested as deterioration or complete loss of graft function.

In histology, an intestinal gland (also crypt of Lieberkühn and intestinal crypt) is a gland found in the intestinal epithelium lining of the
small intestine and large intestine (colon). The glands and intestinal villi are covered by epithelium, which contains multiple types of
cells: enterocytes (absorbing water and electrolytes), goblet cells (secreting mucus), enteroendocrine cells (secreting hormones), cup
cells, tuft cells and, at the base of the gland, Paneth cells (secreting anti-microbial peptides) and stem cells. These cells are not all
present in the colon.

490. What is least likely to be reproduced in an articulator: LATEROTRUSIVE MOVEMENT

Depends on the articulator!

Most stable and most easily reproduced position is centric relation (used to make dentures using just a mean articulator).

496. Pregnant woman (6th week), what is present in the fetus that the mother doesn’t have: DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS

In the developing fetus, the ductus arteriosus (ductus Botalli) is a blood vessel connecting the pulmonary artery to the proximal
descending aorta. It allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's fluid-filled non-functioning lungs. Upon
closure at birth, it becomes the ligamentum arteriosum. There are two other fetal shunts, the ductus venosus and the foramen ovale.

528. Patient with myasthenia gravis is most likely to have what kind of neoplasia: THYMOMA

A thymoma is a tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the thymus that may be benign or malignant. Thymomas are frequently
associated with the neuromuscular disorder myasthenia gravis; thymoma is found in 20% of patients with myasthenia gravis. Onc e
diagnosed, thymomas may be removed surgically. In the rare case of a malignant tumor, chemotherapy may be used. A third of all
people with a thymoma have symptoms caused by compression of the surrounding organs by an expansive mass. These problems may
take the form of superior vena cava syndrome, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), cough, or chest pain. One-third to one-half of all
persons with thymoma have no symptoms at all, and the mass is identified on a chest X-ray or CT/CAT scan performed for an unrelated

548. Adenosine deaminase deficiency causes: SCID

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency is an inherited disorder that damages the immune system and causes severe combined
immunodeficiency (SCID). People with SCID lack virtually all immune protection from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are prone to
repeated and persistent infections that can be very serious or life-threatening. These infections are often caused by "opportunistic"
organisms that ordinarily do not cause illness in people with a normal immune system.

36
549. An 8-month-old male infant is admitted to the hospital because of a bacterial respiratory infection. The infant responds to
appropriate antibiotic therapy, but is readmitted several weeks later because of severe otitis media. Over the next several
months, the infant is admitted to the hospital multiple times for recurrent bacterial infections. Blood work reveals extremely
low serum antibody levels. The infant has no previous history of viral or fungal infection. The most likely diagnosis is: X-linked
agammaglobulinemia of Bruton

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a condition that affects the immune system and occurs almost exclusively in males. People with
XLA have very few B cells, which are specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies (immunoglobulins). Individuals with XLA are
more susceptible to infections because their body makes very few antibodies. Children with XLA are usually healthy for the first 1 or 2
months of life because they are protected by antibodies acquired before birth from their mother. After this time, the maternal
antibodies are cleared from the body, and the affected child begins to develop recurrent infections. In children with XLA, in fections
generally take longer and then they come back again. The most common bacterial infections that occur in people with XLA are lung
infections (pneumonia and bronchitis), ear infections (otitis), pink eye (conjunctivitis), and sinus infections (sinusitis). Infections that
cause chronic diarrhea are also common. Recurrent infections can lead to organ damage. People with XLA can develop severe, life-
threatening bacterial infections; however, affected individuals are not particularly vulnerable to infections caused by viruses. With
treatment to replace antibodies, infections can usually be prevented, improving the quality of life for people with XLA.

550. A woman is suffering from ulcerative gingivitis, labs show: 1200 ct of leukocytes, 98% of which are lymphocytes. Red blood cells
& thrombocytes counts are normal. What can be the diagnosis: AGRALUNOLYTOSIS, MULTIPLE MYELOMA, ACUTE
MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA, CHRONIC LYPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA.

Agranulocytosis (agranulosis / granulopenia) is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous leukopenia (lowered white blood
cell count), MC of neutrophils causing a neutropenia in the circulating blood. It is a severe lack of one major class of infection-fighting
white blood cells. People with this condition are at very high risk of serious infections due to their suppressed immune system. In
agranulocytosis, the concentration of granulocytes (a major class of white blood cells that includes neutrophils, basophils, and
eosinophils) drops below 500 cells/mm³ of blood.

551. Adenosine nucleoside crosses mitochondria by: TRANSLOCATION

ADP/ATP translocases, also known as adenine nucleotide translocases (ANT) and ADP/ATP carrier proteins (AAC), are transporter
proteins that enable the exchange of cytosolic adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) across
the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Free ADP is transported from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix, while ATP produced from oxidative phosphorylation is
transported from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytoplasm, thus providing the cells with its main energy currency. Under normal
conditions, ATP and ADP cannot cross the inner mitochondrial membrane due to their high negative charges, but ADP/ATP translocase,
an antiporter, couples the transport of the two molecules. The depression in ADP/ATP translocase alternatively faces the matrix and
the cytoplasmic sides of the membrane. ADP in the intermembrane space, coming from the cytoplasm, binds the translocase and
induces its eversion, resulting in the release of ADP into the matrix. Binding of ATP from the matrix induces eversion and results in the
release of ATP into the intermembrane space, subsequently diffusing to the cytoplasm, and concomitantly brings the translocase back
to its original conformation. ATP and ADP are the only natural nucleotides recognized by the translocase.

552. Disease of destruction of bronchi and bronchiole with  mucus: ASTHMA, BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, EMPHYSEMA

Asthma is the result of chronic inflammation of the conducting zone of the airways (most especially the bronchi and bronchioles), which
subsequently results in increased contractability of the surrounding smooth muscles and mucous production.
Pneumonia is a category of lung infections. It occurs when viruses, bacteria, or fungi cause inflammation and infection in the alveoli
(tiny air sacs) in the lung. Bronchopneumonia, or lobular pneumonia, is a type of pneumonia that also causes inflammation in the
bronchi. These are the air passages that feed air into the lungs. Also excessive mucous production occurs.
If there will be no hints about asthma (shortness of breath, wheezing, genetic & enviromental factors, drugs taken) we should go with
bronchopneumonia.

called 'horizontal condylar path angle', which determines the steepness of the articular eminence, which will affect the anterior
guidance and cusp heights as well.
To my knowledge the horizontal condylar guidance is related to an anteroposterior plane. Its alteration does not affect laterotrusive
or mediotrusive movements.

Tinea pedis (fungi) is thought to be the world's MC dermatophytosis. Reportedly, 70% of the population will be infected with tinea pedis
at some time. Tinea pedis is the term used for a dermatophyte infection of the soles of the feet and the interdigital spaces. Tinea pedis
is MC caused by Trichophyton rubrum, a dermatophyte initially endemic only to a small region of Southeast Asia and in parts of Africa
and Australia. Using enzymes called keratinases, dermatophyte fungi invade the superficial keratin of the skin, and the infection
remains limited to this layer. Dermatophyte cell walls also contain mannans, which can inhibit the body's immune response.

Pertussis (whooping cough, a 100-day cough) is a highly contagious bacterial disease. Initially, symptoms are usually similar to those
of the common cold with a runny nose, fever, and mild cough. This is then followed by weeks of severe coughing fits. Following a fit of
coughing, a high-pitched whoop sound or gasp may occur as the person breathes in. The coughing may last for 10 or more weeks,
hence the phrase "100-day cough". A person may cough so hard that they vomit, break ribs, or become very tired from the effort.
Children less than one year old may have little or no cough and instead have periods where they do not breathe.

Proline-rich proteins are major components of parotid and submandibular saliva. They can be divided into acidic, basic and glycosylated
proteins. The primary structure of the acidic proline-rich proteins is unique and shows that the proteins do not belong to any known
family of proteins. The proline-rich proteins are apparently synthesized the acinar cells of the salivary glands and their phenotypic
expression is under complex genetic control. The acidic proline-rich proteins will bind calcium with a strength which indicates that they
may be important in maintaining the concentration of ionic calcium in saliva.

613. Alpha-1-antitripsine: LIVER (CIRRHOSIS) & LUNGS (EMPHYSEMA)

Disorders of this protein include alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, an autosomal codominant hereditary disorder in which a deficiency of
alpha-1 antitrypsin leads to a chronic uninhibited tissue breakdown. This causes the degradation especially of lung tissue and eventually
leads to characteristic manifestations of pulmonary emphysema. Evidence has shown that cigarette smoke can result in oxidation
of methionine of α1-antitrypsin, a residue essential for binding elastase; this is thought to be one of the primary mechanisms by which
cigarette smoking (or second-hand smoke) can lead to emphysema. Because A1AT is expressed in the liver, certain mutations in
the gene encoding the protein can cause misfolding and impaired secretion, which can lead to liver cirrhosis.

688. Voluntary movements in muscles, which tract: CORTICOSPINAL

The pyramidal tracts = the corticospinal + corticobulbar tracts

These are aggregations of efferent nerve fibers from the UMN that travel from the cerebral cortex and terminate either in the brainstem
(corticobulbar) or spinal cord (corticospinal) and are involved in the control of motor functions of the body. The corticobulbar tract
conducts impulses from the brain to the cranial nerves. These nerves control the muscles of the face and neck and are involved in facial
expression, mastication, swallowing, and other functions. The corticospinal tract conducts impulses from the brain to the spinal cord.
It is made up of a lateral and anterior tract. The corticospinal tract is involved in voluntary movement. The majority of fib res of the
corticospinal tract cross over in the medulla, resulting in muscles being controlled by the opposite side of the brain. The corticospinal
tract also contains Betz cells (the largest pyramidal cells), which are not found in any other region of the body. The pyramidal tracts
are named because they pass through the pyramids of the medulla. The corticospinal fibers when descending from the internal capsule
to the brain stem, converge to a point from multiple directions giving the impression of inverted pyramid. The myelination of the
pyramidal fibres is incomplete at birth and gradually progresses in caudo- cranial direction and thereby progressively gaining
functionality. Most of the myelination is complete by two years of age and thereafter it progresses very slowly in cranio-caudal direction
up to twelve years of age.

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that typically affects the face. It results in redness, pimples, swelling, and small and superficial
dilated blood vessels. Often the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin are most involved. A red enlarged nose may occur in severe disease,
a condition known as rhinophyma. The cause of rosacea is unknown. Risk factors include a family history of the condition. Factors that
may potentially worsen the condition include heat, exercise, sunlight, cold, spicy food, alcohol, menopause, psychological stress, or
steroid cream on the face. Diagnosis is based on symptoms. While not curable, treatment usually improves symptoms. Treatment is
typically with metronidazole, doxycycline, or tetracycline. When the eyes are affected azithromycin eye drops may help. Dermabrasion
or laser surgery may also be used. The use of sunscreen is typically recommended. Rosacea affects somewhere between 1-10% of
people. Those affected are most often 30-50 years old and female. Caucasians are more frequently affected.

718. Pitting edema: INDICATES ACUTE DISEASE

Pitting edema: observable swelling of body tissues due to fluid accumulation that may be demonstrated by applying pressure to the
swollen area (such as by depressing the skin with a finger). Low protein levels in the blood caused by malnutrition, kidney and liver
disease can also cause edema. The proteins help to hold water inside the blood vessels so fluid does not leak out into the tissues. If a
blood protein, called albumin, gets too low, fluid leaks out the blood vessels and edema occurs, especially in the feet, ankles and lower
legs.

719. Pitting edema:  PROTEIN

720. Non-microbial part of the dental plaque is mostly made out of: DEXTRAN

This is an ASDA question, E series

Streptococcus mutans produce a polysaccharide - dextran - from sucrose. It’s produced outside the cell by an enzyme called dextran
sucrase (glycosyl transferase). This enzyme splits the disaccharide into glucose and fructose, and then takes the glucose molecules and
links them together to form a dextran polysaccharide. Dextran is made out of glucose molecules linked together by a-1,6 and some
a-1,3 branches. It is a sticky polymer that forms a thick glycocalyx around the cell. This is the main reason why bacteria with the dextran
sucrase enzyme are cariogenic.
Just like dextran is a polymer of glucose, levan (also called fructan) is a polymer of fructose. Levan is formed by the enzyme levan
sucrase. It is a reserve food source for bacteria and they damage the teeth by increasing bacterial adhesion and promoting plaque
formation.

760. Tay-Sachs disease: DEFICIENCY OF HEXOSAMINIDASE A → ACCUMULATION OF GANGLIOSIDE

A ganglioside is a molecule composed of a glycosphingolipid with one or more sialic acids linked on the sugar chain. Tay-Sachs disease
(TSD) is a fatal genetic disorder, MC occurring in children, that results in progressive destruction of the nervous system. Tay-Sachs is
caused by the absence of a vital enzyme called hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A). Without it, a lipid called GM2 ganglioside accumulates
abnormally in cells, especially in the nerve cells of the brain. This ongoing accumulation causes progressive damage to the cells.

Hyaluronic acid is highly concentrated inside the eyeball. The fluid inside the eye called the vitreous humor is composed almost
completely of hyaluronic acid. The HA gives the fluid inside the eye a viscous gel like property. This gel acts as a shock absorber for the
eye and also serves to transport nutrients into the eye. HA has been directly injected into the eye during procedures to help maintain
the shape of the eye during surgery. It has been said that after the 5 th decade of life, our eyes stop producing the much-needed
hyaluronic acid.

Each IgG molecule consists of two heavy chains and two light chains. The two heavy chains are linked to each other by disulfide bonds
and each heavy chain is linked to a light chain by a disulfide bond. In any given immunoglobulin molecule, the two heavy chains and
the two light chains are identical, giving an antibody molecule two identical antigen-binding sites, and thus the ability to bind
simultaneously to two identical structures.
Fab – variable region: defines the specific target for the antibody
Fc – constant region: the same for each species

798. What is formed from neural crest cells: MELANOCYTES, SCHWANN CELLS, CHROMAFFINE CELLS OF ADRENAL MEDULLA

In order to activate chromaffin cells, the splanchnic nerve of the sympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine, which then binds
to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the adrenal medulla. This causes the release of catecholamines. The chromaffin cells release
catecholamines: ~80% of adrenaline and ~20% of noradrenaline into systemic circulation for systemic effects on multiple organs
(similarly to secretory neurones of the hypothalamus) and can also send paracrine signals.

A syndesmosis is a slightly movable fibrous joint in which bones are joined together by connective tissue. Examples include the distal
tibiofibular joint as well as the radioulnar joint. Injuries to the ankle syndesmosis are commonly known as a "high ankle sprain".

805. Stretch receptor, what type of synapse: MONOSYNAPTIC

Clasp knife → disynaptic

Flexion withdrawal → polysynaptic
The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is
a monosynaptic reflex which provides automatic regulation of skeletal muscle length. When a muscle lengthens, the muscle spindle is
stretched and its nerve activity increases. This increases alpha motor neuron activity, causing the muscle fibers to contract and thus
resist the stretching. A secondary set of neurons also causes the opposing muscle to relax. The reflex functions to maintain the muscle
at a constant length.

821. Insufficient ADH secretion causes: DIABETES INSIPIDUS

Diabetes insipidus: results from insufficient production of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH), a hormone that helps the kidneys and body
conserve the correct amount of water. Normally, the antidiuretic hormone controls the kidneys' output of urine. It is secreted by the
hypothalamus, stored in the pituitary gland, and then released into the bloodstream. ADH is secreted to decrease the amount of urine
output so that dehydration does not occur. Diabetes insipidus, however, causes excessive production of very diluted urine and excessive
thirst. The disease is categorized into groups:
- central diabetes insipidus - an insufficient production or secretion of ADH; can be a result of damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary
gland caused by head injuries, genetic disorders, and other diseases,
- nephrogenic diabetes insipidus - a lack of kidney response to normal levels of ADH: can be caused by drugs or chronic disorders, such
as kidney failure, sickle cell disease, or polycystic kidney disease.

An inactivated vaccine works when the immune system responds to a piece of a bacteria or virus or to a toxin produced by the germ.
Live “attenuated” vaccines mean they have been changed such that they do not cause disease. They grow inside the vaccinated person
until the immune system recognizes the bacteria or virus and has the appropriate response, similar to a natural infection.

Legionnaire’s (Legionellosis) is caused by Legionella Pneumophila, a bacterium usually found in streams, rivers and lakes. There are
two basic forms of the infection:
- Legionnaire’s Disease: a serious form of the Legionellosis infection. Symptoms include chills, fever, a cough, tiredness and fatigue,
headache and muscle ache and decreased appetite. Distinguishing Legionnaire’s Disease can be difficult, as chest scans and X-rays
taken from patients can often present as pneumonia. Additional tests will be required for a patient to be firmly diagnosed with
Legionnaire’s Disease.
- Pontiac Fever: a milder form of Legionellosis does not include pneumonia-like symptoms. Symptoms include muscle ache and fever.
Patients suffering from Pontiac Fever typically recover within 2-5 days with no need for medical treatment. The onset of Pontiac fever
typically occurs within 2 hours and up to 2 days following exposure and Legionnaire’s Disease within 2-10 days of exposure.

Keloid, also known as keloid disorder and keloidal scar, is the formation of a type of scar which, depending on its maturity, is composed
mainly of either type III (early) or type I (late) collagen. It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type 3) at the site
of a healed skin injury which is then slowly replaced by collagen type I. Keloids are firm, rubbery lesions or shiny, fibrous nodules, and
can vary from pink to the color of the person's skin or red to dark brown in color.

Both of them are malignant tumor of the bone, but PNET is well differentiated and Ewing’s sarcoma is not. There is no difference
clinically.

877. Pathologic fracture: MULTIPLE MYELOMA

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Often, no symptoms are noticed initially. When advanced, bone pain, bleeding, frequent
infections, and anemia may occur. Complications may include amyloidosis. The cause is unknown. Risk factors include drinking alcohol,
obesity, radiation exposure, family history, and certain chemicals. The underlying mechanism involves abnormal plasma cells producing
abnormal antibodies which can cause kidney problems and overly thick blood. The plasma cells can also form a mass in the bone
marrow or soft tissue. When only one mass is present, it is known as a plasmacytoma while more than one is known as multiple
myeloma. Multiple myeloma is diagnosed based on blood or urine tests finding abnormal antibodies, bone marrow biopsy finding
cancerous plasma cells, and medical imaging finding bone lesions. Another common finding is high blood calcium levels.
Multiple myeloma is considered treatable, but generally incurable. Remissions may be brought about with steroids, chemotherapy,
thalidomide or lenalidomide, and stem cell transplant. Bisphosphonates and radiation therapy are sometimes used to reduce pain from
bone lesions.
In the United States, it develops in 6.5 per 100,000 people per year and 0.7% of people are affected at some point in their lives. It usually
occurs around the age of 61 and is more common in men. Without treatment, typical survival is seven months. With current treatments,
survival is usually 4–5 years. This gives a five-year survival rate around 49%.

926. Collagen: TROPOELASTIN IS NOT PRESENT

Collagen and elastin are similar in that they contain proline residues and are composed of approximately 1/3 glycine. However, elastin
differs from collagen because it contains very few hydroxyproline molecules, and completely lacks hydroxylysine. Remember that
hydroxyproline or hydroxylysine commonly precede glycine in collagen fibers.
Glycine and proline = components of collagen and elastin.

927. A doctor develops urticaria (hives) after donning latex gloves – which reaction is it: TYPE 1

Atopic allergies are common type I HS reactions that have a strong genetic predisposition for excessive IgE production. Clinical
manifestations include asthma, edema, and erythema (“wheal and flare”), and urticaria (hives). Common allergens include pollens,
animal danders, foods (shellfish and peanuts), drugs (penicillin), bee venom, and latex.
Contact allergy is due to inadequate washing during manufacture, which results in the retention of water-soluble proteins that cause
allergic reactions in susceptible people.

928. Latex allergy, angioedema, cells seen: MAST CELLS / BASOPHILS

Angioedema is the swelling of deep dermis, subcutaneous, or submucosal tissue due to vascular leakage. Acute episodes often involve
the lip, eyes, and face; however, angioedema may affect other parts of body, including respiratory and GI mucosa. Laryngeal swelling
can be life-threatening.
Mast cells are the primary effector cells in urticaria and in many cases of angioedema. These cells are widely distributed in the skin,
mucosa, and other areas of the body, and have high-affinity IgE receptors. Mast cell degranulation leads to the rapid release of various
inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, leukotrienes and prostaglandins, which, in turn, cause vasodilation and leakage of plasma
in and below the skin. There is also a more delayed (4–8 hour) secretion of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF, Il-4 and Il-5) that
potentially leads to further inflammatory responses and longer-lasting lesions.

939. Related to cell surface receptors with CDR complex: T CELLS

Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are part of the variable chains in immunoglobulins and T cell receptors, generated by
B-cells and T-cells respectively, where these molecules bind to their specific antigen. A set of CDRs constitutes a paratope. As the most
variable parts of the molecules, CDRs are crucial to the diversity of antigen specificities generated by lymphocytes.
Above: sketch of an antibody with the variable domains (blue) and CDRs (light blue, part of the variable domains):

940. MHC-1 binds: CD8 Th CELLS (smaller – 1 – MHC with bigger – 8 – CD)
941. MHC-2 binds: CD4 Th CELLS (bigger – 2 – MHC with smaller – 4 – CD)
942. Why do CD8 lymphocytes respond to antigen associated with MHC-1

The function of the class I MHC is to display intracellular proteins to cytotoxic T cells (CTLs); however, class I MHC can als o present
peptides generated from exogenous proteins, in a process known as cross-presentation.
A normal cell will display peptides from normal cellular protein turnover on its class I MHC, and CTLs will not be activated in response
to them due to central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms; when a cell expresses foreign proteins, such as after viral infection, a
fraction of the class I MHC will display these peptides on the cell surface; consequently, CTLs specific for the MHC:peptide complex will
recognize and kill presenting cells.

943. For immunization, what do you inject in a toxigenic infection: TOXOID (antitoxin would be used in treatment)
944. What is incorporated in the cell membrane of nerve cells: SPHINGOMYELIN, WHICH ALSO CONTAINS LECITHIN

Sphingomyelin (SPH) is a type of sphingolipid found in animal cell membranes, especially in the membranous myelin sheath that
surrounds some axons. It usually consists of phosphocholine and ceramide, or a phosphoethanolamine head group; therefore,
sphingomyelins can also be classified as sphingophospholipids. In humans, SPH represents ~85% of all sphingolipids, and typically make
up 10–20 mol % of plasma membrane lipids.

963. SABE is a sequel (an after effect of a disease) of: RHEUMATIC FEVER

SABE = Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis

Rheumatic fever (RF) is an inflammatory disease that can involve the heart, joints, skin, and brain. The disease typically develops
2-4 weeks after a streptococcal throat infection.
Signs and symptoms: fever, multiple painful joints, occasionally a non-itchy rash (erythema marginatum). The heart is involved in about
50% of cases. Damage to the heart valves, known as rheumatic heart disease (RHD), usually occurs after repeated attacks but can
sometimes occur after one. The damaged valves may result in heart failure, atrial fibrillation and infection of the valves.
Rheumatic fever may occur following an infection of the throat by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. If the infection is untreated
rheumatic fever can occur in up to 3% of people. The underlying mechanism is believed to involve the production of antibodies against
a person's own tissues. Other risk factors include malnutrition and poverty. Diagnosis of RF is based on the presence of signs and
symptoms in combination with a recent streptococcal infection.
Treating people who have strep throat with antibiotics, such as penicillin, decreases the risk of developing rheumatic fever. In order to
avoid antibiotic misuse this often involves testing people with sore throats for the infection, which may not be available in
the developing world. Other preventive measures include improved sanitation. In those with rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart
disease, prolonged periods of antibiotics are sometimes recommended. Gradual return to normal activities may occur following an
attack. Once RHD develops, treatment is more difficult. Occasionally valve replacement surgery or valve repair is required. Otherwise
complications are treated as per normal.
Rheumatic fever occurs in about 325,000 children each year and about 33.4 million people currently have rheumatic heart
disease. Those who develop RF are most often between the ages of 5 and 14, with 20% of first-time attacks occurring in adults. The
disease is most common in the developing world and among indigenous peoples in the developed world. In 2015 it resulted in 319,400
deaths down from 374,000 deaths in 1990. Most deaths occur in the developing world where as many as 12.5% of people affected may
die each year.

An atheroma is a reversible accumulation of degenerative material in the inner layer of an artery wall. The material consists of
mostly macrophage cells, or debris, containing lipids, calcium and a variable amount of fibrous CT. The accumulated material forms a
swelling in the artery wall, which may intrude into the channel of the artery, narrowing it and restricting BF. Atheroma occurs
in atherosclerosis. In the context of heart or artery matters, atheromata are commonly referred to as atheromatous plaques. It is a
pathological condition found in most humans.

Polyene antimycotics, sometimes referred to as polyene antibiotics, are a class of antimicrobial polyene compounds that target fungi.
These polyene antimycotics are typically obtained from some species of Streptomyces bacteria. The polyenes bind to ergosterol in the
fungal cell membrane and thus weakens it, causing leakage of K+ and Na+ ions, which may contribute to fungal cell death. Amphotericin
B, nystatin, and natamycin are examples of polyene antimycotics. They are a subgroup of macrolides.

Eagle syndrome (stylohyoid syndrome, styloid syndrome, styloid-stylohyoid syndrome or styloid–carotid artery syndrome) is a rare
condition commonly characterized but not limited to - sudden, sharp nerve-like pain in the jaw bone and joint, back of the throat, and
base of the tongue, triggered by swallowing, moving the jaw, or turning the neck. Since the brain to body's nerve connections pass
through the neck; many seemingly random symptoms can be triggered by impingement or entanglement. The condition is caused by
an elongated or misshapen styloid process, the slender, pointed piece of bone just below the ear, and/or calcification of the stylohyoid
ligament, which interferes with the functioning of neighboring regions in the body, giving rise to pain.
Possible symptoms include:
• Sharp, shooting pain in the jaw, back of the throat, base of the tongue, [1] ears, neck, and/or face
• Difficulty swallowing
• Sensation of having a foreign object in throat
• Pain from chewing, swallowing, turning the neck, or touching the back of the throat
• Ringing or buzzing in the ears
Classic eagle syndrome is present on only one side, however, rarely, it may be present on both sides.
In vascular Eagle syndrome, the elongated styloid process comes in contact with the internal carotid artery below the skull. In these
cases, turning the head can cause compression of the artery or a tear inside the blood vessel, which restricts BF and can potentially
lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.

1159. Microorganism on the surface of the tongue: STREP. SALIVARIUS
1160. MOA of digitalis compounds (cardiac glycosides): BLOCKS Na+/K+ ATPASE

By inhibiting the Na+/K+-ATPase, cardiac glycosides cause intracellular sodium concentration to increase. This then leads to an
accumulation of intracellular calcium via the Na+-Ca++ exchange system. In the heart, increased intracellular calcium causes more
calcium to be released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum, thereby making more calcium available to bind to troponin-C, which increases
contractility (inotropy). Inhibition of the Na +/K+-ATPase in vascular smooth muscle causes depolarization, which causes smooth muscle
contraction and vasoconstriction.
