Questions and CORRECT Answers
ABG's - CORRECT ANSWER - Atrial Blood Gas levels indicate acidosis or alkalosis
Compensated by Chemical buffers, Respiratory or Metabolic systems
Compensated ABG - CORRECT ANSWER - is when the pH is normal and the blood gas
is abnormal
Uncompensated ABG - CORRECT ANSWER - When the pH is abnormal and one of the
blood gas is abnormal
Partially Compensated ABG - CORRECT ANSWER - When the pH and all of the blood
gas is abnormal
Acute Inflammation - CORRECT ANSWER - Begins before the immune response
becomes established and aims primarily at removing the injury causing agent and limiting the
extent of tissue damage. Acute inflammation is limited and usually resolves with little or no
treatment.
Vascular Phase - CORRECT ANSWER - SHARP
Chemical Mediators
SHARP - CORRECT ANSWER - Swelling
Heat
Altered Function
Redness
Pain
, Chemical Mediators - CORRECT ANSWER - Causing vasodilation
Causing capillary permeability
Causing blood flow to slow down so clotting can begin
Chemical mediators signal WBCs to congregate in the area of damage
Cellular Phase - CORRECT ANSWER - Leukocytes (primarily neutrophils - "first
responders") are delivered to the site of infection/injury and EMIGRATE through the blood
vessel wall into the tissue
WBCs move through the tissue by CHEMOTAXIS ("chemical taxi's") or moving along a
chemical gradient
Alopecia - CORRECT ANSWER - Hair Loss
Angiogenesis - CORRECT ANSWER - New blood vessel formation to support cancer
cells
Antibodies - CORRECT ANSWER - Attach to cell markers to prevent cellular function
Antigens - CORRECT ANSWER - Cell markers
Benign - CORRECT ANSWER - Differentiated
Encased
Slow growth
On top of tissue
Do not metastasize
Tactilely Movable
Malignant - CORRECT ANSWER - Not well differentiated
