This Test Bank for Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease 8th Edition by Sue Huether and Kathryn McCance is a comprehensive study resource designed to support nursing and allied health students studying disease processes, altered physiology, cellular mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and patient responses to illness. It provides practice material that can help learners reinforce essential pathophysiology concepts, strengthen clinical reasoning, review disease mechanisms, and prepare for course examinations. Students can use the resource to connect normal physiological processes with pathological changes and understand how alterations in body systems contribute to signs, symptoms, complications, and clinical findings. The material can be used alongside the textbook, lectures, classroom notes, assignments, and instructor-provided learning resources as a supplementary study aid. It supports independent revision, structured study sessions, practice-question review, and examination preparation while helping learners identify challenging areas requiring further study. This resource is particularly useful for nursing students preparing for pathophysiology courses and assessments involving cellular injury, inflammation, immune responses, genetic disorders, systemic disease processes, and altered physiological function.

1. Which statemen bes describes the cellular function of metabolic absorption?
Y JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




a. Cells can produce proteins. JY JY JY




b. Cells can secrete digestive enzymes. JY JY JY JY




c. Cells can take in and use nutrients. JY JY JY JY JY JY




d. Cells can synthesize fats. JY JY JY




ANS: C J Y




In metabolic absorption, all cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their

surroundings. The remaining options are not inclusive in their descriptions of cellular metabolicJY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




absorption.

2. Where is most of a cell’s genetic information, including RNA and DNA, contained?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Nucleolus
d. Lysosome

ANS: C J Y




The nucleus contains the nucleolus, a small dense structure composed largelyof RNA, most of the
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




cellular DNA, and the DNA-binding proteins, such as the histones, which regulate its activity. The
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production. JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Ribosomes’ chief function is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. Lysosomes function as the
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




intracellular digestive system. JY JY




PTS: J Y J Y 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering JY JY




3. Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) byusing oxygen to remove
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction? JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




a. Lysosomes
b. Peroxisomes
c. Ribosomes
d. Endosome

ANS: B J Y

, McCance:Pathophysiology: TheBiologic Basisfor Diseasein AdultsandChildren(8thEdition)TES BANK
Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y JY




Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain enzymes that use oxygen to remove JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that produces H2O2, which is a
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it accumulates or escapes from peroxisomes.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes (nucleoproteins) that are synthesized in the nucleolus and
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




secreted into the cytoplasm through pores in the nuclear envelope called nuclear pore complexes.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Lysosomes are saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex and contain more than 40
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




digestive enzymes called hydrolases, which catalyze bonds in proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




carbohydrates. An endosome is a vesical that has been pinched off from the cellular membrane. JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




PTS: J Y J Y 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering JY JY




4. Which cell component is capable of cellular autodigestion when it is released during cell injury?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




a. Ribosome
b. Golgi complex JY




c. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum JY JY




d. Lysosomes

ANS: D J Y




The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful digestive enzymes
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




within the lysosome and the cytoplasm, preventing their leakage into the cytoplasmic matrix.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Disruption of the membrane by various treatments or cellular injury leads to a release of the
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




lysosomal enzymes, which can then react with their specific substrates, causing cellular self-
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




digestion. The chief function of a ribosome is to provide sites for cellular protein synthesis. The Golgi
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




complex is a network of flattened, smooth vesicles and membranes often located near the cell
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




nucleus. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in steroid hormone production and
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




removing toxic substances from the cell. JY JY JY JY JY




PTS: J Y J Y 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering JY JY




5. Which cAMP-mediated response is related to antidiuretic hormone?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




a. Increased heart rate and force of contraction JY JY JY JY JY JY




b. Secretion of cortisol JY JY




c. Increased retention of water JY JY JY




d. Breakdown of fat JY JY




ANS: C J Y




Antidiuretic hormone leads to increased retention of water in the body. Epinephrine causes
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




increases in heart rate and force of contraction. Increased cortisol secretion is due to ACTH.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




Breakdown of fat is due to glucagon. JY JY JY JY JY JY
