SLUG BAM: Muscarinic effects of Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine acts on two vastly different classes of receptors - nicotinic receptors (with two subtypes, one at the neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle, the other within ganglia and the CNS), and muscarinic receptors (widely distributed within both peripheral and central nervous systems).

**Muscarinic effects SLUG BAM:
  • Salivation/ Secretions/ Sweating
  • Lacrimation
  • Urination
  • Gastrointestinal upset
  • Bradycardia/ Bronchoconstriction/ Bowel movement
  • Abdominal cramps/ Anorexia
  • Miosis

ACC Atlas of Pathophysiology

Featuring 450 large full-color illustrations, this comprehensive atlas shows how more than 200 disorders can disrupt the human body’s equilibrium. It is designed to help healthcare professionals visualize disease processes, understand the rationales for clinical interventions, and explain to patients how diseases develop and progress.

Introductory chapters illustrate basic pathophysiologic concepts including cells, cancer, infection, genetics, and fluids and electrolytes. Twelve chapters organized by body system cover all major diseases, with illustrations, charts, and brief text on causes, pathophysiology, signs, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment.

This Third Edition includes eight new disease entries and updated information throughout. A new icon, Complications, highlights the typical progression of untreated disease.

Pathophysiology of Disease An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, 6th


* Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical
* Number Of Pages: 752
* Publication Date: 2009-10-20
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0071621679
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780071621670



A complete case-based review of the essentials of pathophysiology – covering all major organs and systems

This trusted text introduces you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the signs and symptoms of 100 diseases commonly encountered in medical practice. Each chapter first describes normal function of a major organ or organ system, then turns attention to the pathology and disordered physiology, including the role of genetics, immunology, and infection in pathogenesis. Underlying disease mechanisms are described, along with their systems, signs, and symptoms, and the way these mechanisms themselves determine the most effective treatment.

This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path towards thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathologic basis, giving you an understanding of the “whys” behind both illness and treatment.

Features


* NEW full-color presentation
* 111 case studies (22 new ones) provide an opportunity for you to test your understanding of the pathophysiology of each clinical entity discussed
* A complete chapter devoted to detailed analyses of the cases
* “Checkpoint” review questions appear throughout every chapter
* Numerous tables and diagrams encapsulate important information
* References for each chapter topic
* NEW sections in the chapters on liver disease and inflammatory rheumatic diseases and a completely rewritten chapter on male reproductive tract disorders

Schwann Cell and Action Potential (Why teenagers have quick responses!!)

This video demonstrates the development of myelin in the peripheral nervous system and the propagation of action potential along a myelinated axon. The video was completed by Marziah Karch as her 2008 sabbatical project from the script and voiceover of Professor Marilyn Shopper.

This is close captioned, but in some cases a few of the words were left out to make it possible to read it at all.
