SLCC Pathophysiology Final Exam
UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Acquired Immunity types - CORRECT ANSWER - Naturally Acquired
Passively-mother's milk
Actively-infected with pathogen
Artificially Acquired
Passively-vaccine
Actively-Serum gamma globulin
Actinic Keratosis - CORRECT ANSWER - Premalignant lesion from sun exposure that
can → squamous cell carcinoma.
Adrenal Gland Abnormalities - CORRECT ANSWER - Addison's
Disease→Hyposecretion of Adrenal Cortical
Cushing's Disease→Hypersecretion of Adrenal Cortical
Pheochromocytoma→Hypersecretion of catecholamines
Angioma - CORRECT ANSWER - benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or
lymphatic vessel walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these
vessels
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - CORRECT ANSWER - Starts with Acute lung
injury/insult (ALI)
First Stage→Respiratory Alkalosis→hyperventilation
Intermediate stage→ACIDOSIS Respiratory→ hypoventilation and Metabolic K⁺ cell
breakdown
Intermediate stage→PULMONARY EDEMA →cell breakdown turns on inflammatory response
,Intermediate state→BLOOD CLOTTING platelets responds to inflammation further blocking
perfusion
Late stage→RESPIRATORY FAILURE continued acidosis
Autonomic Dysreflexia - CORRECT ANSWER - is an abnormal cardiovascular response
to stimulation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system; occurs as a result of
stimulation of the bladder, large intestine, or other visceral organs not being able to send correct
signals
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) - CORRECT ANSWER - Nonmalignant enlargement
of the prostate gland. Age-related but otherwise unknown etiology.
Frequency, urgency, straining to void, decreased urine stream, incontinence, impotence, palpable
prostate, nocturia. Can give a false-positive PSA test
TURP - CORRECT ANSWER - Transurethral Resection of the Prostate an instrument is
inserted up the urethra to remove the section of the prostate that is blocking urine flow in BPH
Blood Components - CORRECT ANSWER - Myeloid Cells Bone
RBC Kidney Erythropoietin
WBC Thymus T-lymphocytes
Platelets Liver Thrombopoietin
RBC - CORRECT ANSWER - provide oxygen
WBC - CORRECT ANSWER - Granulocytes
Basophils-allergic reaction Histamines
Eosinophils-allergy and parasites
Neutrophil
Agranulocytes
Lymphocytes-B and T-(timely)
, Monocytes→Macrophages→ phagocytosis
Platelets - CORRECT ANSWER - Thrombocytes→ Clotting
Burn Treatment - CORRECT ANSWER - Give Hypertonic fluid to prevent hypervolemia
Watch for fluid overload due to sudden improvement give hypotonic to provide tissue with fluid
Give Electrolytes that were lost
Cardiogenic Shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Myocardial damage that causes the heart to
fail to pump blood sufficiently to meet the body's demand.
Cells of Inflammation - CORRECT ANSWER - endothelial, platelet, leukocytes
Endothelial Cells of Inflammation - CORRECT ANSWER - line the blood vessels -
Produces chemicals that
a. vasodilate or vasoconstrict
b. cause blood thinning/prevent clotting (to keep vein open)
c. allow entrance/exit into and out of the blood vessel (vessel wall permeability)
d. control inflammatory mediators
Platelets of Inflammation - CORRECT ANSWER - thrombocytes
a. Responsible for blood coagulation/clotting
b. Platelets release of over 300 potent inflammatory mediators
Leukocytes of Inflammation - CORRECT ANSWER - They are the major cellular
component of the inflammatory response
The term "LEUKOCYTOSIS" means a higher than normal production of White Blood Cells
(usually neutrophils) in the blood, and is a common indicator of inflammation and infection.
WBCs are classified as either GRANULOCYTES or AGRANULOCYTES
