Barrett esophagus
is an example of dysplasia - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ false
hypertrophy is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an
increase in the number of cells - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ True
Lack of nerve stimulation can cause cells to atrophy - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ True
proportion of people with a disease who are positive for the disease -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ sensitivity
how likely the same result will occur if repeated - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ reliability
,how a tool measures what it is intended to measure - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ validity
people without the disease who are negative on a given test -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ specificity
Which is NOT true of the cytoskeleton? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
it includes peroxisomes and proteasomes
Which of the following are true of the cell? Select all that apply. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 1: Proteins carry out the functions of the
cell membrane
2:Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell
3:Microfilaments are thin, threadlike cytoplasmic structures
Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 1: Controls the transport of materials from
the outside fluids to within
2:Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle
cells
3: Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
Which are false of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 1: They are found far from the site of
energy consumption.
,2:They control free radicals.
High blood pressure is an example of which of the following? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ pathophysiology
A patient complains of chest pain and an elevated blood pressure. What
are these examples of? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ signs and
symptoms
Which of the following is true of a test's sensitivity? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ If negative, it can safely be assumed that the person
does not have a disease
Chemical agents (poison, alcohol) are examples of which of the
following? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Etiologic factors
Define tertiary prevention and give an example: - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Tertiary prevention occurs after a disease has been
diagnosed and clinical intervention is needed to reduce complications or
deterioration. One example is the use of certain medications one must
take after a heart attack to help reduce the risk of a future event or death.
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ In dry gangrene the affected tissue
becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark
brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut
, off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet
gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is
moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction
occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue
damage is rapid.
Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one
type of necrosis. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ necrosis is cell death to
an organ or tissue with still being apart of a living person. An example of
this would be luiquefactive necrosis. this is when the cells die and the
catalytic enzymes do not get destroyed after the cells death. This could
cause necrosis
sunburn - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ radiation injury
obesity - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ nutritional imbalances
reactive oxygen species - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ free radical
injury
low oxygen to tissues - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ hypoxic cell injury
fractures - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ physical agents
OTC drugs - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Chemical injury
