What kind of shock is associated with SIRS? Septic shock What is cardiac output like with septic shock? Normal/high What happens with SIRS? Insult --> Huge outpouring of INFLAMMATORY mediators --> VASODILATION/ vascular leakage / venous blood pooling --> HYPOperfusion / cell hypoxia / metabolic derangements --> Organ dysfunction --> Organ failure or DEATH

cell injury caused by stress severe enough to impair function and ability of cell to adapt; may be reversible or irreversible depending on severity of stress and baseline condition of the cell; occurs prior to any biochemical and morphological signs of injury cellular adaptation vs cell injury cellular function is maintained during cellular adaption whereas cell injury results in impaired cellular function (reversible or irreversible)

frameshift mutation - ANSWER one or more bases are deleted or inserted, resulting in all downstream codons changing deletion - ANSWER loss of chromosomal material missense - ANSWER point mutation resulting in a codon for a different amino acid
