SLCC Pathophysiology Exam with correct
answers


Body's ability to maintain dynamic steady state of internal balance -
🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Homeostasis


Increased number of cells - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Hyperplasia


Increased size of cell - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Hypertrophy


Reduced size of cell - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Atrophy


Replacement of one cell type with another that can better endure
stress but not as effective as original tissue. i.e. scar tissue, callous -
🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Metaplasia


Abnormal cell growth results in abnormal size shape or
appearance, precedes cancerous changes - 🔰CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔Dysplasia

,Three mechanisms of cellular injury - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Free radical injury
Hypoxic cell injury
Impaired calcium function


Highly reactive chemical molecules with an unpaired electron in
their outer orbit that pulls electrons off of healthy cell molecules >
cell damage; cancers; other disease states result. - 🔰CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔Free Radical Injury


cellular oxygen deprivation. Brain/Heart/Kidneys are high
consumers of O2. Caused by lack of O2 or impaired blood flow to
the tissue > inflammatory response - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Hypoxic Cell Injury


Ca++ is an important signalling ion for many cell responses. If the
cell is injured, calcium builds up inside the cell and many cell
structures are damaged. - causing? - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Impaired Calcium Function
causing inappropriate activation of cellular enzymes

,Causes impaired cell function but NOT DEATH. Body can repair
itself and return to normal homeostasis if the injury is reversed in
time before cell death results - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Reversible cell injury


Three types of reversible cell injury - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Water
Lipids
Calcium


abnormal amounts of?


Sodium builds up in cell due to the breakdown of the sodium
[Na+] - potassium [K+] pump. Consequently, sodium collects
inside the cell and attracts water > intracellular swelling. Usually
due to hypoxic injury. - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Water


Abnormal amounts of?


collects in cells leading to impairment of cell functions. "Fatty liver"

, is often the result. Fatty changes are a more ominous sign of cell
injury than swelling, but can be reversed with dietary changes. - 🔰
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Lipids


Abnormal amounts of?


builds up in cell due to breakdown of the Calcium [Ca++] -
Magnesium [Mg++] pump. Consequently, calcium collects inside
the cell and causes inappropriate activation of cellular enzymes >
damages cell internally. - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Calcium


Controlled cell death by implosion. Membrane maintains integrity,
cell contents not released into extracellular space, no inflammatory
response. - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Apoptosis


How long do WBCs live? - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔8-10 days


How long do RBCs live? - 🔰CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔3 months


Uncontrolled cell death. Membrane looses integrity, cell contents
released into extracellular and inflammatory response. - 🔰
