3. Antibody for RA - ANS ✓igm antibody against Fc portion of igg
MORE specific- anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody
4. What innervate the Inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle - ANS ✓vagus
nerve (superior laryngeal branch)
5. What muscle does CN 9 innervate (glossopharyngeal nerve)? What does
this do? - ANS ✓stylopharyngeus
Elevation of pharynx and larynx
6. What happens to amcetaminophin when we take too much of it? - ANS
✓create toxic NAPQI and deplete glutathione
7. Why is glutathione important? - ANS ✓it allows for the conversion of reactive
oxygen specific to water so less damage is done to issue
Glutathione needs to be in its reduced state to do this, once oxidized it will be reduced
with NADPH

abdomen
Port wine colored urine
Polyneuropathy
Worse with p450 inducers, alcohol, and starvation
Psychological issues
9. How do you treat acute intermittant porphyria - ANS ✓glucose and heme
(inhibits aminolevulionic acid dehydrogenase)
10.What mutation can cause sideroblastic anemia? Mode of transmission? -
ANS ✓aminolevulinic acid synthase

11.What is that pathway for ubiquination - ANS ✓ubiquinated proteins get
degraded via proteasome
12.What happens when we treat salmonella - ANS ✓prolong duration of bug in
poop
13.What happens when we treat shigella - ANS ✓lessen duration of bug in poop
14.What type of response for live attenuated vaccine give - ANS ✓induce

15.What type of response for inactivated/ killed vaccine - ANS ✓humeral
response (mostly B cell)
16.What are the toxoid vaccine - ANS ✓C. Diphtheriae toxoid
C. Tetani toxoid

tension- which prevents alveolar collapse
Decrease lung recoil
Increase compliance
19.What is slipped strand misreading - ANS ✓there are repeated sequences of a
certain nucleotide and the copies of homologous chromosome bind out of
registry and then cause excision of part of the DNA and future alternation of the
protein.
This would shorten the protein and cause a frame shift mutation

phosphate in most tissue minus the liver and beta pancreatic cell
25.What gene mutation is associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the
young - ANS ✓glucokinase
26.What is Michaelis Menten constant - ANS ✓concentration of s substrate that is
found when the reaction has reached half its maximum velocity
