Diagnostic Imaging
Electromagnetic radiation that is sent through the body.
What is an X-Ray?
In a DNA Microarray what do the different colors red, green, yellow, and black mean?
What is Red- Highly expressed in cancerous cells.
Green- High expressed in normal cells.
Yellow- Expressed in both.
Black- Expressed in neither.
A phase of the cell cycle that ensures the DNA replicates correctly.
What is G2 phase?
A cell with a deformed nuclei.
What is a cancer cell?
A tumor of high malignancy that starts in melanocytes of normal skin or moles and metastasizes rapidly and widely.
What is Melanoma?
Produces computerized images of internal body tissues and is based on nuclear magnetic resonance of atoms within the body induced by the application of radio waves.
What is an MRI?
What is this gene expression ration describing... <1?
What is not suppressed by tumor formation?
How is cancer formation related to the cell cycle checkpoints?
What is the checkpoints are there to stop something or stop stop something from spreading?
What is the difference between the nucleus of a healthy cell compared to a cancerous one?
What is a healthy cell has one small nucleus while a cancerous cell has large, variably shaped nuclei?
Surgery in which diseased or abnormal tissue is destroyed or removed by freezing.
What is Cryosurgery?
A sectional 3-dimensional view of the body constructed by computed tomography.
What is a CT scan?
What is gene expression and how is it measured?
What is gene expression is whether or not a gene is active or "turned on". It can measure the amount of mRNA or protein.
What occurs in the G1 checkpoint?
What is to check if the cell is big enough and that it can produce the needed proteins?
What is the property that allows cells to organize themselves in well-defined boundaries?
What is contact inhibition?
A gene whose protein products inhibit cell division, thereby preventing uncontrolled cell growth.
What is a Tumor Suppressor Gene?
A test that detects areas of increased or decreased bone metabolism to diagnose and treat different diseases.
What is a Bone Scan?
What is the purpose of DNA Microarray?
What is to measure the amount of mRNA to compare gene expression of healthy cells and cancer cells?
What is the M checkpoint in the cell cycle?
What is to check if the cells have divided correctly?
What is the property that allows cells of the same tissue to have the same size and shape?
What is shape related to function?
Alteration in DNA that may indicate an increased risk of developing a specific disease or disorder.
What is a Genetic Marker?
The production of images by detecting radiation from different parts of the body after a radioactive tracer material is administered.
What is Nuclear Imaging?
What is BRCA?
What is either of two tumor suppressor genes that in mutated form tend to be associated with an increased risk of certain cancers and especially breast and ovarian cancers?
What is the correct order of mitosis?
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis?
What is dysplasia in a cancerous cell?
What is uncontrolled growth of cells and aberrant tissue arrangement and cell structure, which migrate beyond the original location?
The changes that occur within a cell as it undergoes programmed cell death, which is brought about by signals that trigger the activation of a cascade of suicide proteins in the cell destined to die.
What is Apoptosis?
