100

Caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract

S/S: nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, slight fever, cough

What is rhinitis

100

Caused by multiple bacteria 

Inflammation and purulent exudate in alveoli often arising from prior pooled secretions or irritation

S/S: productive cough with yellow-green sputum

What is bronchopneumonia 

100

destruction of the alveolar walls and septae, which leads to large, permanently inflated alveolar air spaces

Can be caused by smoking or genetic deficiency 

S/S: dyspnea, clubbed fingers, hyperventilation with prolonged expiration

What is emphysema

100

progressive degenerative disease affecting both upper motor neurons in the cerebral cortex and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord

What is ALS

100

dysfunction of the extrapyramidal motor system occurs because of progressive degenerative changes in the basal nuclei, principally in the substantia nigra 

What is Parkinson's Disease

200

Mycobacterium first enter the lungs, are engulfed by macrophages, and cause a local inflammatory reaction, on the upper lobe of the lung

Form a granuloma in the lungs at the site on inflammation

Asymptomatic

What is primary or latent tuberculosis

200

inherited disorder in which there is a defect in the exocrine glands causing abnormally thick secretions


What is cystic fibrosis

*Bonus what are complications?

200

What causes an asthma attack 

What is type I hypersensitivity reaction to an inhaled antigen or stimulus such as infections, cold, exercise, aspirin, stress, and smoke

*Bonus what are signs and symptoms

200

the main S/S of parkinsons

What is pill rolling, masklike expressions, shuffling or propulsive gait, stooped posture, tremors

200

patho of MS

What is demyelination of nerves 

300

collapse of a lung or part of a lung leading to decreased gas exchange and hypoxia


What is atelectasis 

300

Causes of pulmonary edema

What is left-sided congestive heart failure, hypoproteinemia, tumors, pulmonary hypertension

300

Patho of asthma

What is 

Inflammation of the mucosa with edema

Contraction of smooth muscle (bronchoconstriction)

Increased secretion of thick mucus in the passages 

300

characterized by blurred vision, weak legs, difficulty moving, double vision, scotoma, dysarthria 

What is MS

300

caused by partial occlusion of artery 

S/S?

TIA

depends on affected area

400

Inflammation of alveolar wall and leakage of cells, fibrin, and fluid into alveoli causing consolidation

Caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae

S/S: rusty sputum, rales

What is Lobar Pneumonia 

400

Caused by Mycoplasma

Necrosis of bronchial epithelium

S/S: aching muscles, nonproductive hacking cough

What is primary atypical pneumonia

400

Chronic inflammation and irritation to the lungs that lead to fibrosis and thickening of bronchial wall

S/S: productive cough, cyanosis, short of breath

What is chronic bronchitis

400

excessive reflex response 

What is Hyperreflexia


give me an example of how this presents

what disease is this common in 

400

Broca vs Wernicke 

Broca: spoken and written word- actually doing it

Wernickes: understanding it when someone else is speaking or writing 

500

active infection of mycobacterium

S/S: hemoptysis, malaise, weight loss, night sweats, low-grade fever

What is secondary tuberculosis

500

irreversible abnormal dilation or widening, primarily of the medium-sized bronchi

secondary problem to COPD or cystic fibrosis 

What is bronchiectasis 

500

Describe how atelectasis affects ventilation and perfusion

The alveoli become airless and shrivel up because air is not moving in and out of the affected lung. If the lungs are not reinflated, the lung tissue becomes necrotic due to a lack of oxygen to the tissue

500

brain tissue is altered by malformation, mechanical trauma, hypoxia , etc; causes altered mobility 

What is ICP

500

destruction of brain tissue from lack of blood flow 

CVA 

what are the causes?
