NR 283 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM WITH
ACCURATE SOLUTIONS /GUARANTEED PASS
1. Pathogenesis - -ANS☑️☑️--Story of how disease develops
2. Atrophy - -ANS☑️☑️--Decrease in the size of the cells, results in reduced tissue mass
3. Hypertrophy - -ANS☑️☑️--Increase in cell size, results in enlarged tissue mass
4. Hyperplasia - -ANS☑️☑️--Increased number of cells, results in enlarged tissue mass
5. Metaplasia - -ANS☑️☑️--Mature cell type is replaced by a different mature cell type,
Ex: chronic smokers, cells lose cilia
6. Autosomal Recessive Disorders - -ANS☑️☑️--Has to have two recessive genes to have
disease, only one recessive gene to be carrier ex: Cystic fibrosis, PKU
(phenylketonuria), Tay-Sachs
7. Cystic fibrosis - -ANS☑️☑️--autosomal recessive disorder that causes thick mucous
secretions
8. PKU (phenylketonuria) - -ANS☑️☑️--autosomal recessive disorder that causes an
inability to metabolize phenylalanine. Can cause mental retardation. Pt must follow
strict very low protein diet
, 9. Tay-Sachs - -ANS☑️☑️--autosomal recessive disorder that causes an enzyme to not be
produced causing fatty proteins build up causing destruction of nerve cells in the brain
and spinal cord
10. Autosomal Dominant Disorders - -ANS☑️☑️--Only takes one gene for disease to show.
There are no carriers, either have disease or don't. Marfan Syndrome, Huntington's,
Familial Hypercholesterolemia
11. Dysplasia - -ANS☑️☑️--Cells are different looking varying in size and shape
12. Neoplasia - -ANS☑️☑️--New growth, commonly a tumor. May be malignant or benign
13. Apoptosis - -ANS☑️☑️--Programmed cell death, normal occurrence in the body
14. Ischemia - -ANS☑️☑️--Deficit of oxygen in the cells
15. Hypoxia - -ANS☑️☑️--Reduced oxygen in the tissues
16. Iatrogenic - -ANS☑️☑️--illness or disease process because a medical process was done
ex: CAUTI
17. Etiology - -ANS☑️☑️--Cause of particular disease on microscopic level
18. Marfan Syndrome - -ANS☑️☑️--Autosomal Dominant Disorder, causes long
extremities, congenital heart defects
