Anatomy

1. The shifting of genes from one chromosome to another interferes with the normal regulatory mechanisms, and the cells grow uncontrollably.

Ex. Burkitt’s lymphoma, develops only after genes from chromosomes 8 have been translocated to chromosome 14. (pg. 623)

2. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infects B-cells. (pg. 623)

3. Systolic bruit – is any abnormal sound or murmur heard during systole of the cardiac cycle. (pg. 604)

4. Fibromyalgia – is a neurosensory disorder characterized by abnormalities in central nervous system pain processing. (pg. 246)

5. Cystic Fibrosis – is an abnormality in a membrane transport protein responsible for the active transport of chloride rons. (pg. 653)

6. Lordosis – is an abnormal lumbar curvature giving a “swayback” appearance (pg. 177). This may result from abdominal wall obesity or weakness in the muscles of the abdominal wall. (pg. 167)

7. Mumps – is a viral infection that most often affects the parotid salivary glands between ages 5 and 9. (pg. 691)

8. Knee is a complex hinge joint. It resembles 3 separate joints, 7 major ligaments that binds and stabilizes the knee joint. So injuries to knees are more complicated and the healing process is slow. (pg. 234, 241)

9. Marfan’s Syndrome – is linked to defective connective tissue structure. Extremely ling and slender limbs is the most obvious physical indication of this disorder. It results from excessive cartilage formation at the epiphyseal cartilage. (pg. 127)

10. Osteomyelitis – is a painful and destructive bone infection generally caused by bacteria. This infection that is most common in people over age 50, can lead to dangerous systemic infections. (pg. 130)

11. Chronic Sinus Problems – may occur as a result of a deviated nasal septum. In this condition the nasal septum had a bend in it, most often at the junction between the bony and cartilaginous regions. It often blocks drainage of one or more sinuses producing chronic cycles of infection and inflammation. (pg. 160)
