100% PASS 2026/2027
Define Idiopathic. - ANS Cause of disease is unknown
Define Iatrogenic. - ANS Due to complication, error, treatment, or procedure
Subclinical State - ANS Pathological changes occur, no obvious manifestations
Prodromal Period - ANS Signs are non-specific
Two Basic Cell Types - ANS Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
This cell is single-celled without nucleus or membrane organelles, reproduce by binary fission,
and bacteria are considered this cell type. - ANS Prokaryotes
This cell type is either single or multi-celled, can reproduce by meiosis or mitosis, and have a cell
nucleus within containing its DNA and outer membrane. - ANS Eukaryotes

, What do Ribosomes do? - ANS Make protein from encoded DNA instructions
What are Ribosomes made of? - ANS RNA and proteins
This organelle is known as the production factory (makes proteins and lipids). It is a system of
membraneous channels and vesicles, and is an internal delivery system of the cell. -
ANS Endoplasmic Reticulum
This organelle houses energy in the form of ATP. - ANS Mitochondria
Nutrients are transformed into energy by the mitochondria through the process of -
ANS Oxidative phosphorylation
Cells communicate information LOCALLY by - ANS Paracrine and neurotransmitters
Cells communicate information to DISTANT sites by - ANS Hormones and Neurohormones
Cells communicate information INTERNALLY by - ANS Autocrines
Damage to cell membrane, reduced levels of ATP, changes in metabolic processes, and changes
in pH are all known as. - ANS Cellular Adaptations
What two cellular changes are known to be normal alterations? - ANS Hypertrophy and
Atrophy
What cellular change is known to be disease-related? - ANS Ischemia or cellular hypoxia
