Rasmussen Pathophysiology Exam 1
Terms in this set (172)
inflammation of bone and bone
marrow because of an infection
Define osteomyelitis
That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with
Rough ER
ribosomes.
That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of
Smooth ER
ribosomes.
A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal
Homeostasis state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry,
such as blood glucose, around a particular level
Hypertrophy increase in muscle/tissue size, excessive development
the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any
atrophy
progressive decline or failure; to waste away
ATP production/cellular respiration, powerhouse of the
function of mitochondria
cell
an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the
Ischemia
body, especially the heart muscles.
Any observations made by using your senses (pts. blood
S/S of Objective Data
pressure, physical findings, and lab values)
S/S of Subjective Data Any symptoms pt. complains of, what the pt. feels (pain)
Neurotransmitter secreted by the adrenal medulla in
Epinephrine
response to stress. Also known as adrenaline.
, hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood
Renin pressure by influencing vasoconstriction (narrowing of
blood vessels)
-reduced concentration of plasma proteins
-increased permeability of capillary wall
What causes edema?
-increased venous pressure
-blockage of lymph vessels
Signs and symptoms of fluid edema, dysnpea (trouble breathing), hyptertension (high
excess bp), JVD, pulse increase and bounding, weight increase
Dry mucous membranes, decreased skin turgor, Low BP,
Signs and symptoms of
Low pulse, fatigue, Increased HCT, decreased mental
dehydration
function, confusion, and loss of consciousness
- muscle twitches/tetany
- hyperactive DTRs
- positive Chvostek's sign (tapping on the facial nerve
S/S of hypocalcemia triggering facial twitching)
- positive Trousseau's sign (hand/finger spasms with
sustained blood pressure cuff inflation)
- seizures
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
Osmosis
membrane
Movement of molecules from an area of higher
Diffusion
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Energy-requiring process that moves material across a
active transport
cell membrane against a concentration difference
Effect of hypertonic cell shrinks and can die
solution
effect of a hypotonic cell swells and can burst
solution
A form of acquired immunity in which the body produces
active immunity
its own antibodies against disease-causing antigens.
