Turner syndrome ANS -A chromosomal disorder in females in which either an *X chromosome* is
missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted.
Tay-Sachs Disease ANS -A human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional
enzyme leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually become manifest a few
months after birth, followed by death within a few years.
Down syndrome ANS -A condition of mild to severe intellectual disability and associated physical
disorders caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21
Diabetes Insipidus ANS -Antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately, or the kidney is resistant to its
effect. The *serum sodium is often elevated* due to excess free water losses.
In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't properly concentrate
urine.
Cardiac Valve Disease Process ANS -In heart valve disease, one or more of the valves in your heart
doesn't work properly. Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve). When the valve(s) do not close
completely, it causes blood to flow backward through the valve. This reduces forward blood flow and
can lead to volume overload in the heart.
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s) opening becomes narrowed, it limits the flow of
blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is forced to pump blood with increased force to move
blood through the narrowed or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications ANS -Heart valve disease can cause many complications, including:
* Heart failure.
,* Stroke.
* Blood clots.
* Heart rhythm abnormalities.
* Death.
Respiratory Illness from bats ANS -*Viral hemorrhagic fevers* are spread by contact with infected
animals or insects. The viruses that cause viral hemorrhagic fevers live in a variety of animal and insect
hosts.
Most commonly, the hosts include mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, or bats. Some viral hemorrhagic fevers
can also be spread from person to person.

Anemia due to folate (folic acid) deficiency
Anemia due to iron deficiency
Anemia of chronic disease
Hemolytic anemia
Idiopathic aplastic anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
Acid Base Balance - lung and kidney compensation ANS -The kidneys have two main ways to maintain
acid-base balance - their cells reabsorb bicarbonate HCO3− from the urine back to the blood and they
secrete hydrogen H+ ions into the urine.
By adjusting the amounts reabsorbed and secreted, they balance the bloodstream's pH.
, Pyelonephritis ANS -Inflammation of the renal pelvis and the kidney
Prostate cancer ANS -Cancer of the prostate gland usually occurs in men middle-aged and older.
Artery response during blood loss.
Does cell shrink or swell ? ANS -*Vasoconstriction*
Marfan Syndrome - Autosomal dominant trait ANS -This condition is inherited in an autosomal
dominant pattern , which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the
disorder.
At least 25 percent of Marfan syndrome cases result from a new mutation in the FBN1 gene
Spina Bifida ANS -Not having enough *folic acid* during pregnancy is one of the most important factors
that can increase the chances of having a child with spina bifida.
Bursitis ANS -Inflammation of a bursa sac. Inflammation of the fluid-filled pads (bursae) that act as
cushions at the joints.
Sprains and Strains ANS -A sprain occurs when you overextend or tear a ligament while severely
stressing a joint.A strain occurs when tendons (bands at the end of muscles that connect muscles to
bones) get stretched or pulled away from the bone.
