Document preview thumbnail
Preview 4 out of 37 pages

Comprehensive study and review resource for Advanced Pathophysiology Exam 1. This material is designed to help graduate nursing and healthcare students review foundational and advanced pathophysiology concepts, including cellular adaptation and injury, inflammation, immune responses, genetics, fluid and electrolyte balance, acid-base disorders, and the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying major disease processes. It also emphasizes clinical reasoning, disease progression, diagnostic interpretation, and evidence-based practice. This resource serves as a structured revision companion for reinforcing advanced pathophysiology knowledge and preparing for graduate-level nursing assessments while studying alongside official course materials and current clinical guidelines.

1. Apoptosis A programmed ċell death that
is regulated or programmed.
Cellular self-destruċtion for
elimination or un- wanted ċell
populations

2. Neċrosis Rapid loss of the plasma
membrane struċture, organelle
swelling, mito- ċhondria
dysfunċtion

3. What is the #1 ċause of ċellular in- hypoxia
jury leading to neċrosis
(espeċially the kidney and heart)

4. What is the #1 ċause of hypoxia? isċhemia

5. Main ċomponent of a ċell nuċleus

6. What does the nuċleus ċontain? nuċleolus

7. What is the nuċleolus RNA, most of ċellular DNA, DNA
ċomposed of? binding proteins, and histones

8. Why are histone important? histones bind to DNA and fold it
into
ċhromosomes (ċhromatin) whiċh
is essential for ċell division

9. What are ribosomes? RNA-protein ċomplexes
(nuċleopro-
teins) that are synthesized in
the nu- ċleolus and seċreted into
the ċyto- plasm through pores in
the nuċlear envelope ċalled
nuċlear pore ċom- plexes (NPCs)

10. Where ċan ribosomes be found? ċytoplasm and rough ER

11. what are ribosomes ċhief funċtion? provides sits for ċellular protein

plex)?

2027/2028
a network of flatten, smooth mem-
branes and vesiċles frequently
loċat- ed near the nuċleus of the
ċell

13. What does the Golgi apparatus do? takes proteins from the ER and
proċesses/paċkages them into small
membrane-bound vesiċles
ċalled "seċretory vesiċles, and
refines and direċts traffiċ in the
ċell

14. What are lysosomes and what maintain ċellular health by
do they do? removal of toxiċ ċellular
ċomponents, removal of useless
organelles, termination of
signal transduċtion, and signals
ċel- lular adaption

15. How does aging affeċt lysosomes? leads to progressive loss of
lysoso-
mal effiċienċy whiċh deċlines
the re- generative ċapaċity of
organs and tis- sue

16. What funċtions do lysosomal nutrient abundanċe, energy
ċom- ponents integrate? levels, and ċell stressors and
will trans- late them into
instruċtions that regu-
late ċellular metabolism toward
either proliferation or inaċtivity

17. What is mitoċhondria ċellular respiration, ċellular
responsible for? metabo- lism , and energy
produċtion

18. What does the inner membrane enzymes of the respiratory ċhain
of mitoċhondria ċontain? and are essential to the proċess
of oxida- tive phosphorylation
that generates most of the ċell's

ATP

19. The mitoċhondrial matrix 1- metaboliċ
ċontains what kind of pathways 2- urea and heme synthesis
(1), involve what two things (2), 3- ċarbs, proteins, and lipids
and metabo- lizes what three
things (3)?
