NURS 5315: ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 2026 UTA
CERTIFIED QUALITY EXAM 1-5 LATEST UPDATED
VERIFIED & COMPLETE ASSURED SUCCESS
Respiratory acidosis
E. Cns depression, airway abnormalities
C.m. restless, confused, seizures, tachycardia
Ph <7.4 paco2 >44
Respiratory alkalosis
E. Usually anxiety, pe, chf, salicylate od, illegal drugs
C.m. light-headed, confused, tetany
Ph >7.4 paco2 <38
Allele
Paired genes on autosomal chromosomes
Locus
Position in which a gene occupies on a chromosome
,Phenotype
Outward appearance of an individual
Genotype
A map of ones specific genes
Polymorphic
Two or more alleles which occur with an appreciable
frequency in a population
Homozygous
Two dominant or recessive alleles
Heterozygous
When both a dominant and a recessive allele are present
,Dominant
Trait seen in phenotype
Recessive
Trait not seen in phenotype
Codominance
Both alleles exhibit (blood type ab)
Carrier
Person who has a diseased gene but is phenotypically normal
Autosomal chromosomes
First 22 of 23 chromosomes
, Sex-linked chromosomes
23rd pair of chromosomes
Hypertrophy
E. Increase in cell size
P. Caused by hormonal stimulation or increased functional
demand, which increased the cellular protein in the plasma
membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, myofilaments, and
mitochondria (not cellular fluid)
Physiologic: skeletal muscle hypertrophy for persons doing
heavy work/weight lifting. One kidney removed, the other
kidney increases in size to accommodate for workload
Pathologic: cardiomegaly from htn/l ventricular hypertrophy
Hypoxic injury
Clinical manifestations
Ischemia which progresses to hypoxia.
Intracellular enzymes such as ck, ldh, ast, alt, troponin
Hypoxic injury
