D115 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM TEST BANK
What are signs and symptoms of Cri du Chrat Syndrome? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ DNA
deletion of chromosome 5. low birth weight, mental retardation, microencephaly, and cat like
cry
What are the 3 layers of human defense? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Physical, Mechanical,
biochemical barriers
What happens in the physical layer of human defense. - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ protect
against damage and infection are composed of tightly associated epithelial cells including
those of the skin and of the membranous sheets lining the gastrointestinal, genitourinary,
and respiratory tracts.
What is the second line of defense and the process? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Inflammatory
response- rapid and nonspecific, protective response to cellular injury from any cause. It
can occur only in vascularized tissue.
How do acute and chronic inflammation differ? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Acute- Short
duration, 8-10 days from onset to healing.
Chronic inflammation- can be a continuation of acute inflammation that last 2 weeks or
longer. It can also occur as a distinct process without much preceding acute inflammation
,What three systemic changes associated with acute inflammatory response - VERIFIED
ANSWER✅ Fever, leukocytosis, plasma protein synthesis
How does the inflammatory response differ in neonates? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Neonates
often have transiently depressed inflammatory function, particularly neutrophil chemotaxis
and alternative complement activity.
Hypersensitivity Response- I vs II - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ I - IgE mediated- primary cause of
common allergies. Binds with mast cells which release histamine. (initiates allergic
reaction).
Histamine release leads to bronchial smooth muscle contraction, bronchoconstriction, and
immune response
II- tissue specific- wrong blood type administered or hemolytic disease of the
A vaccine is what kind of immunity - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Adaptive
Active immunization is produced by - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ an individual in response to an
antigen or after immunization.
What are some common diseases that are categorized as multifactorial in nature? -
VERIFIED ANSWER✅ HTN, CAD, Cancers, Diabetes, Obesity, Alzheimer's Disease
Symptoms of Chronic suppurative otitis media - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Chronic suppurative
otitis media- will have hearing loss, purulent drainage, ear pain.
,What is Gate Control Theory - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ pain transmission is modulated by a
balance of impulses conducted to the spinal cord where cells in the
substantia gelatinosa function as a "gate".
What is the parathyroid gland responsible for - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ produces parathyroid
hormone (PTH)-
which is the single most important factor in the regulation of
serum calcium concentration.
What is TH responsible for - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ TH is
responsible for growth, maturation, and function of cells, body
systems throughout the body and across the life span.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ decreased energy, lethargy, heat
intolerance,
lowered basal temperature, diastolic HTN, MYXEDEMA
one of the most important contributors to
insulin resistance and DM - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Obesity
The definition of legal blindness is the best corrected vision of 20/100.
true or false - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ FALSE
The definition of legal blindness is the best corrected vision of 20/200.
, A male patient presents with sinus congestion, clear nasal discharge, and a cough that is
worse when he is reclined.
What is the probable condition causing these symptoms? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Allergic
rhinitis is marked by sinus congestion, clear nasal discharge, post nasal drip that causes a
sore throat, and cough that is worse when supine.
unilateral tonsillar enlargement during acute tonsillitis is suggestive of - VERIFIED
ANSWER✅ Unilateral tonsillar enlargement during acute tonsillitis is suggestive of a
tonsillar abscess. If the patient does not have trouble swallowing, is drooling, or has a
muffled voice, then it could be an enlarged tonsil rather than an abscess. Because of the risk
of airway obstruction, it is imperative that tonsillar abscess is ruled out during the
assessment.
Which two statements are true regarding epinephrine? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ Dopamine is
the precursor of both epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Epinephrine induces general vasodilation because of the predominance of β-adrenergic
receptors in the muscle vasculature.
Which structure is specifically involved in pain transmission? - VERIFIED ANSWER✅ The
substantia gelatinosa, which is at the tip of the posterior horn of the spinal cord, is directly
involved in pain transmission.
