NURS 611 Advanced Pathophysiology
Exam 1QUESTION AND CORRECT
ASWERS
Sodium - CORRECT ANSWERS -Main ECF ion.
Potassium - CORRECT ANSWERS -Main ICF ion.
Mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWERS -Organelle that produces ATP.
Ribosomes - CORRECT ANSWERS -Organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
Lysosomes - CORRECT ANSWERS -Organelles that degrade and recycle waste.
Peroxisomes - CORRECT ANSWERS -Organelles that break down chemicals into H202, produces
free radicals.
Golgi Apparatus - CORRECT ANSWERS -Organelle responsible for packaging and distribution.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - CORRECT ANSWERS -Organelle that synthesizes steroids and
detoxification.
Tight Junction - CORRECT ANSWERS -Impermeable junction; strength.
Gap Junction - CORRECT ANSWERS -Junction that allows for conductivity, synchronizes
contractions of cardiac muscle through ionic coupling.
, Desmosomes - CORRECT ANSWERS -Junctions that hold cells together by continuous bands or
belts of epithelial sheets or button-like points of contact.
Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, and Osmosis - CORRECT ANSWERS -Non-energy forms of
transport.
Active Transport - CORRECT ANSWERS -Energy-requiring movement of molecules across a
membrane, example is Na/K pump.
Hypotonic Fluid - CORRECT ANSWERS -Causes cells to swell.
Hypertonic Fluid - CORRECT ANSWERS -Causes cells to srhink.
36 ATP - CORRECT ANSWERS -How many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration?
2 ATP - CORRECT ANSWERS -How much ATP can anaerobic respiration make?
Hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS -#1 cause of cellular injury.
Lactic Acid - CORRECT ANSWERS -Indication of cell death. Build up leads to metabolic acidosis.
Reactive Oxidative Stress - CORRECT ANSWERS -Caused by free radicals produced by
peroxisomes. Antioxidants such as fresh fruits and vegetables give an electron to an unpaired
molecule.
Hemosiderosis - CORRECT ANSWERS -Too much iron in tissues.
