G.S., a 36-year-old secretary, was involved in a motor vehicle accident; a car drifted left of center and struck G.S. head-on, p

inning her behind the steering wheel. She was intubated immediately after extrication and flown to your trauma center. Her injuries were found to be extensive: bilateral flail chest, torn innominate artery, right hemo/pneumothorax, fractured spleen, multiple small liver lacerations, compound fractures of both legs, and probable cardiac contusion. She was taken to the OR, where she received 36 units of PRC (packed red cells), 20 units of platelets, 20 units cryoprecipitate, 12 units FFP (fresh frozen plasma), and 18 L of LR. She was admitted to the ICU postop, where she developed ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome). 1. What is ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome)?

Answer:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a situation where there is an accumulation of fluids in the lung air sacs.

Explanation:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a situation where there is an accumulation of fluids in the lung air sacs. This occurs in adults who are seriously ill or injured, as is the case with G.S, shown in the question above.

Generally, patients who get this syndrome, fail to recover and end up dying. This is because the fluids of the lung prevent the organs from receiving the oxygen necessary for their functioning.

Answer;

-Endocytosis

Explanation;

-Endocytosis includes; phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated: Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, plasma membrane surrounds the substances to be taken in, encloses them in a membrane-bound sac (vesicle) and brings them into the cell

-Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large solid particles (“cell eating”)

-Pinocytosis: endocytosis of extracellular fluid that contains dissolved solutes (“cell drinking”)

-Receptor-mediated: highly selective, ligands bind to specific receptor proteins on the plasma membrane and are then taken into the cell

-Exocytosis: the reverse of endocytosis: substances are removed from the cell; vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid; important in nerve cells to release neurotransmitter and secretory cells to release cell products (ex. digestive enzymes, protein hormones).
