Blood Vessel Pressure
NOTE: arterioles have very thick walls, hence, increased resistance; the wall cross-sectional area to lumen cross-sectional area ratio is the highest for arterioles.
What type of vaccine is used against haemophilus influenzae?
Toxoid + polyribitol phosphate.
Gastric Cross-Section:
E = stomach.
D = spleen.
A = part of the colon.
B = liver.

What viral agent may cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients?
CMV; double-stranded DNA, enveloped, icosahedral virus,
Which bacterial organism causes necrotic skin infections in burn and diabetic patients?
Pseudomonas aeruginosa; this organism has a toxin profile very similar to that of diphtheria toxin i.e., they both inhibit protein synthesis by acting on EF-2 with a primary target cell in the liver.
What effect does protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B) have on tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor?
Suppresses it; therefore, an animal lacking protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B) would have increased response to insulin.
