APPLIED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FOR THE ADVANCED NURSE 1ST EDITION
2 ACTUAL TEST PAPER WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS
⩥ Mitochondria. Answer: Known as the power plants of the cell because
they extract energy from organic compounds.
⩥ Cell Plasma Membrane. Answer: Basic structure formed by a lipid
bilayer, with specific functions carried out by bound and transmembrane
proteins.
⩥ Cell-to-Cell Communication. Answer: Utilizes chemical messenger
systems that release secretions into extracellular fluid.
⩥ Aerobic Metabolism. Answer: Provides energy by combining
hydrogen and oxygen to form water.
⩥ Exocytosis. Answer: Important in removing cellular debris and
releasing synthesized substances into the extracellular fluid.
, ⩥ Membrane Potentials. Answer: Generated and conducted by the
diffusion of current-carrying ions.
⩥ Epithelial Tissues. Answer: Classified according to the shape of the
cells and the number of layers.
⩥ Simple Epithelium. Answer: Cells in contact with intercellular matrix;
some do not extend to surface.
⩥ Glycolysis. Answer: Utilized for oxidative energy in mitochondria.
⩥ Ion Channel Neurotransmission. Answer: Process responsible for
generating and conducting membrane potentials.
⩥ Polarization of Charged Particles. Answer: A process involved in
generating membrane potentials.
⩥ Surface Antigens. Answer: Part of the specific functions of the cell
plasma membrane.
⩥ Hormone Receptors. Answer: Part of the specific functions of the cell
plasma membrane.
