Inflammaory Process Questions

Inflammation #

  Please compare and contrast acute vs chronic inflammation. A thorough answer should include subtypes of acute inflammation; relevant cell types (and their functions) and biochemical mediators attracted. Please also discuss in detail at least one relevant disease example.



Please compare and contrast acute vs chronic inflammation. Your
answer should provide a detailed discussion of what elements (e.g.,
cells, proteins etc) are required for each as well as any interplay (if any)
between the two systems.



Compare and contrast acute versus chronic inflammation. A complete
answer would include possible causes, the sequence of cellular and/or
molecular events, relevant cell types affected and specific (disease)
examples, as appropriate.

  1. Compare and contrast acute versus chronic inflammation. A complete answer would include possible causes, the sequence of cellular and/or molecular events, relevant cell types affected and specific (disease) examples, as appropriate (35 marks).






Neoplasia


  Please discuss the key genetic events needed to convert a normal human cell into a neoplastic cell. Your answer should also include a thorough description of the key classes of genes affected in this transformation with discussion of their function(s) when “normal” or “mutated”. Credit awarded for essays which use specific gene examples as appropriate.


Please discuss carcinogenesis with respect to (at least) three classes
of agents which initiate a tumour, with specific examples and
mechanisms of action (e.g., how they initiate a tumour) as appropriate.
Please also include in your answer a discussion of the ways in which
carcinogen-dependent tumourigenesis can be blocked.






  2. Discuss the fundamental changes in cell physiology which dictate a malignant phenotype. Specific examples should be utilised when appropriate (35 marks).



Cell cycle


  Please discuss entry into, movement through...
