What is Fluoride?
100
This B vitamin is stored in the liver for several years.
What is B12?
100
Caffeine can block this enzyme, which leads to an increase in cyclic AMP levels.
What is Phosphodiesterase?
100
This type of necrosis is associated with Tuberculosis.
What is Caseous necrosis?
100
This pyrimidine is only found in DNA, while this Pyrimidine is only found in RNA.
What is Thymine and Uracil?
200
This water soluble vitamin is used in the treatment of dyslipidemia.
What is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?
200
The use of Vitamin B3 can increase this lipid.
What is HDL?
200
This term describes protein saturation whereby no more transport across a membrane can take place.
What is Transport Maximum?
200
PT and INR are used to test this coagulation pathway.
What is the Extrinsic pathway?
200
This enzyme is absent or mutated in cases of Xeroderma Pigmentosum.
What is Nucleotide Excision Repair?
300
This vitamin is injected into newborns to aid in coagulation.
What is Vitamin K?
300
Untreated B1 deficiency usually presents with this visual sign.
What is Nystagmus?
300
This term describes a state whereby no action potential can possibly occur.
What is Absolute Refractory Period?
300
This is the most prominent feature of a chronic inflammatory state.
What is Fibrosis?
300
This immune deficiency leads to a defect in the function of both T-cells and B-cells.
What is SCID (severe combined immune deficiency)?
400
Excessive plasma levels of this element can lead to peaking of T-waves on an EKG.
What is Potassium?
400
This B Vitamin is needed to produce the neurotransmitters Dopamine, Serotonin, Norepinephrine, and Epinephrine.
What is B6 (Pyridoxine)?
400
This structure is required in order to maintain the structural cohesiveness of tissues that are subject to mechanical stress.
What is a Desmosome?

What is Gyanylyl Cyclase?
400
This histone acts as a linker protein to keep the octamer held together.
What is H1?
500
