PATHOPHYSIOLOGY QUIZ 1
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
100%
How are cells specialized? - ANSWER through the
process of differentiation or maturation
What are the eight specialized cellular functions? -
ANSWER movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption,
secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction, and
communication
What are the three general components of an eukaryotic
cell? - ANSWER the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm,
and the intracellular organelles.
What causes the release of lysosomal enzemes? -
ANSWER Cellular injury causing cellular self-digestion
What is the location and function of the nucleus? -
ANSWER the largest membrane-bound organelle and is
,found usually in the cell's center. The chief functions of
the nucleus are cell division and control of genetic
information.
What is Cytoplasm? - ANSWER an aqueous solution
(cytosol) that fills the space between the nucleus and the
plasma membrane.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum and what does it
specialize in? - ANSWER a network of tubular channels
(cisternae) that extend throughout the outer nuclear
membrane. It specializes in the synthesis and transport
of protein and lipid components of most of the
organelles
What is the Golgi complex and what does it do? -
ANSWER a network of smooth membranes and vesicles
located near the nucleus. The Golgi complex is
responsible for processing and packaging proteins into
secretory vesicles
, What are lysosomes and what do they do? - ANSWER
saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex
and contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes are
responsible for digesting most cellular substances to
their basic form, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and
carbohydrates
What are peroxisomes? - ANSWER involved in the
production and breakdown of hydrogen peroxide
Importance of proteins in disease - ANSWER The major
workhorses of the cell, if misfolded they can cause
diseases
What are mitochondria responsible for? - ANSWER .
Mitochondria contain the metabolic machinery necessary
for cellular energy metabolism (Makes ATP).
What is the cytoskeleton? - ANSWER the "bone and
muscle" of the cell. The internal skeleton is composed of
a network of protein filaments, including microtubules
and actin filaments (microfilaments).
