Q

What causes an atherosclerosis?

A

fatty deposits - LDLs - accumulate on the inner lining of the arterial walls. LDLs pass into the tunica intima where they undergo “oxidization”. These oxidized LDL’s are toxic and increase inflammation. White blood cells called “monocytes” absorb the toxic oxidized LDL’s and become foam cells. When these foam cells rupture or die, they release their lipid content, creating a “lipid core”. Fibrous caps form over these in the healing process, creating more plaque. At first the plaque eats into the wall of the artery to about 40%, weaking the artery wall. But after that point, the plaque starts narrowing the lumen, leading to reduced blood flow.

Q

Why is homocysteine a risk factor for cardiovascular disease?

A

an excess amount of homocysteine starts to break off little pieces of the tunica intima, killing the endothelial cells there. This creates the formation of scabs, which end up narrowing the passageway and affecting or limiting blood flow

205
Q

Function: red blood cells

A

transport oxygen to the body’s cells

206
Q

chest pain that occurs in response to myocardial ishemia

207

A

adiponectin

208
Q

Normal weight classification

210
Q

Why is there an increased risk of debilitating joint injuries when an obese individual is exercising?

A
  1. excess weight stresses weight bearing joints
  2. exercise compounds this stress
211
Q

kg/m²

212
Q

What are macrovascular dysfunctions

A

brain, heart - atherosclerosis

213
Q

affects the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart

214
Q

What should waist circumferance be for men and women?

A

Men >102cm

Women >88cm

215
Q

A

≥130/85 mmHg

216
Q

What part of the NS controls the tunica media of vessels?

A

sympathetic nervous system

217
Q

What is the underlying cause of PAD, Angina?

A

atherosclerosis

218
Q

What is another term for the tunice externa?

A

adventitia

219
Q

In what 2 type ll and gestacional diabetes tests do you have to fast? How long?

A

FPG - fasting plasma glucose test

OGT - Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

8 hours

220
Q

Why is fibrinogen a risk factor for cardiovascular disease?

A

fibrinogen causes damage to the blood vessel, promoting clotting and plaue formation. Increased levels also increase the viscosity of blood, which increases the workload of the heart and the risk of thrombosis

221
Q

What are the 3 types of diabetes?

A
  1. Type l
  2. Type ll
  3. Gestacional
222
Q

In which diabetes test do you have to consume a concentrated glucose drink?

A

OGT - oral glucose tolerance test

223
Q

True or False: there can be a genetic predisposition to have higher homocystein levels

A

true

224
Q

Definition: Homocysteine

A

an amino acid byproduct created in the digestion of protein

225
Q

What causes an increase in homocysteine?

A
  1. a lack of the enzyme needed to convert homocysteine back into methionine or cysteine.
  2. low levels of b-12 folic acid increases plasma homocysteine
226
Q

Definition: Facilitated Diffusion

A

the glucose concentration in blood and cells is such that no ATP is required for energy

227
Q
A
228
Q

What hormone controls blood glucose?

A

insulin

229
Q

Definition: Thrombosis

A

blood clot that is travelling through the vessel

230
Q

How can exercise help when insulin is ineffective?

A

because insulin binds to the receptors on the target cells to open the glucose gates, when insulin is not working properly, exercise can naturally open those gates, allowing glucose to flow through for energy

231
Q

With neuropathy, what types of things should you avoid?

A

walking, stair climbing, gait or balance exercises

232
Q

Definition: adipocytes

A

little fat cells

A

hunger, severe systemic weakness, and weight loss

Q

True or False: Veins have a thinner tunica media.

A

True

237
Q

A

2 - 4x

238
Q

What can a chronic increase in glucose damage?

A

diney filtration - leads to failure and needing dialysis

239
Q

How would you desribe metabolic syndrome?

A

a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities

240
