Term
Anaphylaxis
Definition
results if immediate hypersensitivity reaction becomes systematic
Term
Causes of Edema
Definition
1. lower venus blood flow (obstruction, Congestive heart failure)
2. increased capillary permeability (histamine release, inflammatory response)
3. starvation (lower plasma protein concentration, lower colloid osmotic pressure)
Term
Scurvy
Definition
-Vitamin C deficiency - required for hydroxylation of proline
- causes Brittle collagen.
- Ulceration of gums, increased hemorrhaging, slow bone
growth, slow recovery from fractures.
-decreased matrix formation
and disorganized epiphyseal plates
Term
Progressive Systemic Sclerosis
Definition
- aberrant turnover of collagen causes Excessive collagen production
-fibers "capsule" around organs
-causes the organs to “harden” and exhibit dysfunction.
Term
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Definition
-Several underlying causes, including a defect in lysyl (collagen defect)
hydroxylase (rare), procollagen peptidase, or Type III or IV collagen.
-Increased elasticity of skin, hypermobility of joints, and fragile blood
vessels
Term
Marfan Syndrom
Definition
-gene for fibrillin-1 mutation (elastic fibers)
-autosomal dominant
-symptoms: aortic aneurisms, pneumothorax, cataracts, dislocation of lens, skin problems
Term
Cx-26 mutations
Definition
lead to congenital deafness.
Term
Cx-46 and Cx50 mutations
Definition
lead to cataracts of the lens of the eye
Term
Cx-32 mutations
Definition
demyelination of peripheral nerves
Term
bullous pemphigoid
Definition
occurs if antibodies are made to BP230 (also called BPAG1) or collagen type XVII (also called BPAG2), resulting in the autoimmune disease. similar to pemphigus vulgaris
-(hemidesmos
Term
Rickets
Definition
-Insufficient vitamin D
-reduced absorption of calcium
and phosphorus
-cartilage matrix of epiphyseal
plate does not mineralize properly
Term
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Definition
-autoimmune disease
-body produces anti-bodies to desmosomal glycoprotein (demogleins)
-causes skin blistering
