NURS 611 EXAM 4 PATHO ACTUAL EXAM 2025 COMPLETE 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
Bones - (answer) provide support and production for the body's tissues and organs.
Important source of minerals and blood cells
Bone formation - (answer) begins during embryonic development with the differentiation of
mesenchymal cells into either chondrocytes or preosteoblasts.
bone minerals either crystalize on a cartilage or become bone forming cells w/out cartilage
Bone tissue - (answer) continuously being resorbed and synthesized by bone-remodeling units of
osteoclasts and osteoblasts
RANKL - (answer) Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand
includes osteoclast activation and bone resorption
OPG - (answer) osteoprotegerin
protein. attachment serves as a decoy receptor for RANKL and blocks osteoclast activity
decreases bone resorption.
RANKL and OPG balance - (answer) Quality of bone
Bone composition - (answer) compact and spongy bone tissue.
compact bone - (answer) highly organized into haversian systems that consist of concentric layers of
crystallized matrix surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves.
,NURS 611 EXAM 4 PATHO ACTUAL EXAM 2025 COMPLETE 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
crystallized matrix in compact bone - (answer) has concentric layers with small spaces containing
osteocytes. Canaliculi inter connect the osteocyte space.
crystallized matrix in spongy bone - (answer) arranged in bars or plates. spaces containing osteocytes
are dispersed between the bars or plates and interconnected by canaliculi
BMPs (bone morphogenic proteins) - (answer) involved in multiple crucial functions in the skeletal
system
how many bones in the body - (answer) 206
divided into axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton
Bone Classification - (answer) long, short, flat, irregular
long bones - (answer) longer than they are wide. broad end called epiphysis, broad neck called
metaphysis, and narrow midportion called diaphysis that contains the medullar cavity.
Hematoma - (answer) formation provides the fibrin framework for formation and organization of
granulation tissues
granulation tissue - (answer) provides a cartilage model for the formation and crystallization of bone
matrix
Remodeling - (answer) restores the original shape and size to injured bone
joint - (answer) site of attachment of 2 or more bones.
provide stability and mobility of the skeleton
, NURS 611 EXAM 4 PATHO ACTUAL EXAM 2025 COMPLETE 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
Help move bones and muscle
joint classification - (answer) synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses
depends on degree of movement allowed
fibrous joints - (answer) connected by dense fibrous tissue, ligaments, or membranes
cartilaginous joints - (answer) connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage
synovial joints - (answer) connected by a fibrous joint capsule. small fluid filled space in capsule. Space
nourishes the articular cartilage that covers the end of the bones meeting in the synovial joint
articular cartilage - (answer) highly organized system of collagen fibers and proteoglycans. fibers firmly
anchor the cartilage to the bone, and the proteoglycans control the loss of fluid from the cartilage
skeletal muscle - (answer) A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the
force that moves the bones.
largest organ in the body made up of millions of fibers
three part connective tissue - (answer) framework in which skeletal muscle is encased in.
muscle function - (answer) motor unit, muscle fibers innervated by a single motor nerve
muscle fibers - (answer) contain bundles of myofibrils arranged in parallel along the longitudinal axis
and include muscle membrane, myofibrils, sarcotubular system, aqueous sarcoplasm, and mitochondria.
types of muscle fibers - (answer) 2 types determined by motor nerve innervation
