Question
Answer
1a Organism and environment, adaptation   show
🗑
show any change of external environment requires resetting of regulatory mechanisms to keep homeostasis- each adaptation mechanism has some capacity (limited)  
🗑
Adaptation capacity a   show
🗑
show it is !!!very individual!!! - dependent on:- genetic disposition- age  
🗑
show functional reserve of the body systems responsible for the adaptation to a particular change (dependent on the previous life style - nutrition, physical activity etc.)  
🗑
Adaptation capacity d   show
🗑
show border changes of external environment leading to survival only of individuals with best adaptation facilities are causing natural selection (Darwin theory), when Medicine does not interfere  
🗑
show high external temperature requires thermoregulatory response based on peripheral vasodilation → ↓ BP - to keep adequate BP requires ↑ MV, people with chronic heart failure do not have  
🗑
show sufficient heart reserve→ COLLAPSE (unconsciousness) (typical for old people)  
🗑
show ● not-changeable - genetics, gender, ethnic, age ● changeable - nutrition, life style, personal habits  
🗑
show ● factors from environment - viral and microbial - chemical (toxins, drugs, allergens) - physical (irradiation, temperature, sun exposure, altitude - p02)● psychological factors (family background, stress, religion etc.)  
🗑
show - autosomal dominant (Adult polycystic kidney disease, Familial hypercholesterolemia, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Spherocytosis, von Willebrand's disease)- autosomal recessive (Color blindness, Cystic fibrosis, Phenylketonuria)  
🗑
show - X - linked recessive (Hemophilia, Bruton-type hypogammaglobulinemia, Duchenne's dystrophy)  
🗑
● largely dependent on environment or life style   show
🗑
show - Lung cancer - due to smoking (low in Mormons and Seventh day Adventists with code against use of tobacco – but non-smokers also can have lung cancer!!)- Skin cancer - due to ultraviolet light  
🗑
show - Malaria - only in countries with mosquitoes transmitting Plasmodium  
🗑
show most frequent case- early coronary heart disease - due to predisposition to hypercholesterolemia and simultaneous high animal fat intake and/or smoking, low physical activity, stress factors etc.  
🗑
● dependent on combination of genetic predisposition and factors of environment or life style influencing manifestation of the disease b   show
🗑
