Differentiation (maturation) process in which cells become specialized in structure and function The eight specialized cellular functions are movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction, communication Eukaryotic cells Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes. The eukaryotic cell consists of three general components plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and intracellular organelles Nucleus A part of the cel...

diagnostic reasoning a scientific process in which the practitioner suspects the cause of a patient's symptoms and signs based on previous knowledge Character-how does it look/feel/smell/sound Onset-when did it start Location Duration-how long does it last, recurrent Severity- scale 0-10 Pattern- what makes it worse/better Associated factors-other symptoms, interfere w/ ADLs What is symptom analysis using COLDSPA clinical reasoning situation, practice-based form of reason...

Reward pathway Genetic, environmental, cultural factors interact Primary NT is dopamine Key areas: dopamine mesocorticolimbic system, ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens (NA), the amygdala, olfactory tubercle. , Cocaine and stimulants, such as amphetamines activate the reward system by blocking dopamine reuptake transporter. Opioids activate the same circuitry as the stimulants (initially they activate opioid receptors in the VTA, which ultimately results ...
