PATH 1000 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS (GRADED A)
atrophy - ANSWER - (n.) the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any
progressive decline or failure; (v.) to waste away
hypertrophy - ANSWER - increase in muscle size
natural defenses - ANSWER - What are measures that protect and enhance the
patient's defenses that include intact skin and mucous membranes, a balanced diet
and sufficient fluids, and adequate sleep and rest called?
active immunity - ANSWER - the immunity that results from the production of
antibodies by the immune system in response to the presence of an antigen.
natural immunity - ANSWER - protection that an individual inherits to fight infection
passive immunity - ANSWER - Immunity conferred by transferring antibodies from
an individual who is immune to a pathogen to another individual.
Hyperplasia - ANSWER - the enlargement of an organ or tissue because of an
abnormal increase in the number of cells in the tissues
Metaplasia - ANSWER - changing from one type of mature tissue to another
Dyplasia - ANSWER - abnormal development
nercrosis - ANSWER - pathologic death of cells or tissue
Apoptosis - ANSWER - process of programmed cell death
, Co - ANSWER -
Hypoxia - ANSWER - Low oxygen saturation of the body, not enough oxygen in the
blood
Ischemia - ANSWER - an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body,
especially the heart muscles.
metabolic acidosis - ANSWER - decreased pH in blood and body tissues as a result of
an upset in metabolism
Metabolic alkalosis - ANSWER - high pH, high HCO3
Respiratory acidosis - ANSWER - low pH, high CO2
Respiratory alkalosis - ANSWER - Arise in blood pH due to hyperventilation
(excessive breathing) and a resulting decrease in CO2.
Buffer systems - ANSWER - function to convert strong acids or bases into weak acids
or bases
ICF intracellular fluids - ANSWER -
ECF extracellular fluid - ANSWER - - fluid found outside the cells of the body,
constitutes approximately about one third of total body fluid,
- transporter of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
- includes: intravascular fluid, interstitial fluid, transcellular fluid
Oncotic pressure - ANSWER - The pressure of water to move, typically into the
capillary, as the result of the presence of plasma proteins.
Osmotic pressure - ANSWER - the external pressure that must be applied to stop
osmosis
