Exam 1: NR 283 Exam 1
Cause of particular disease on microscopic level - ANSWER:Etiology
Story of how disease develops - ANSWER:Pathogenesis
Decrease in the size of the cells, results in reduced tissue mass - ANSWER:Atrophy
Increase in cell size, results in enlarged tissue mass - ANSWER:Hypertrophy
Increased number of cells, results in enlarged tissue mass - ANSWER:Hyperplasia
Mature cell type is replaced by a different mature cell type, Ex: chronic smokers, cells lose cilia -
ANSWER:Metaplasia
Cells are different looking varying in size and shape - ANSWER:Dysplasia
New growth, commonly a tumor. May be malignant or benign - ANSWER:Neoplasia
Programmed cell death, normal occurrence in the body - ANSWER:Apoptosis
Deficit of oxygen in the cells - ANSWER:Ischemia
Reduced oxygen in the tissues - ANSWER:Hypoxia
illness or disease process because a medical process was done ex: CAUTI - ANSWER:Iatrogenic
Has to have two recessive genes to have disease, only one recessive gene to be carrier ex: Cystic fibrosis,
PKU (phenylketonuria), Tay-Sachs - ANSWER:Autosomal Recessive Disorders
autosomal recessive disorder that causes thick mucous secretions - ANSWER:Cystic fibrosis
autosomal recessive disorder that causes an inability to metabolize phenylalanine. Can cause mental
retardation. Pt must follow strict very low protein diet - ANSWER:PKU (phenylketonuria)
autosomal recessive disorder that causes an enzyme to not be produced causing fatty proteins build up
causing destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord - ANSWER:Tay-Sachs
Only takes one gene for disease to show. There are no carriers, either have disease or don't. Marfan
Syndrome, Huntington's, Familial Hypercholesterolemia - ANSWER:Autosomal Dominant Disorders
Autosomal Dominant Disorder, causes long extremities, congenital heart defects - ANSWER:Marfan
Syndrome
Autosomal Dominant Disorder, nerve cells break down over time, causing involuntary movements -
ANSWER:Huntington's Disease
Autosomal Dominant Disorder, high cholesterol - ANSWER:Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Disorder carried on the x chromosome - ANSWER:X-Linked Disorders
