pathophysiology the basis for
disease Questions And
Answers
Membrane potential changes when:
✓✓✓✓~ The voltage across a cell's plasma membrane
Dysplasia
✓✓✓✓~ abnormal development or growth of cells, tissues, or organs
Metaplasia
✓✓✓✓~ abnormal transformation of adult differentiated cells to differentiated tissue of
another kind
Apoptosis
✓✓✓✓~ process of programmed cell death
necrosis
,✓✓✓✓~ abnormal condition of death
Necrosis vs. Apoptosis
✓✓✓✓~ Necrosis: bad, damage to nearby cells caused by lysis
Apoptosis: good; for normal functioning of cell. Cell shrinkage, caspase
activation,
pedigree analysis
✓✓✓✓~ an inherited trait is analyzed over the course of a few generations in one family
pedigree analysis
✓✓✓✓~ Chart showing one trait being carried over many generations
pedigree chart
✓✓✓✓~ A chart which shows several generations of related families and how traits are
passed down through the offspring.
DNA
, ✓✓✓✓~ A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the
chromosomes.
DNA
✓✓✓✓~ deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living
organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic
information.
DNA replication
✓✓✓✓~ DNA unzips into two parts and splits with the cell. In it's new home each side of the
DNA strand attack to matching nucleotides to create 2 exact copies. It is important in
puberty and other times of growth as it is the reproducing of your cells.
RNA
✓✓✓✓~ single-stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose
RNA polymerase
✓✓✓✓~ Enzyme that links together the growing chain of ribonucleotides during
transcription.
RNA splicing
