Applied Pathophysiology Exam 1
Practice Questions and Correct
Answers
pathophysiology - Correct Answers -the study of the functional changes that occur in the body
as a result of an injury, disorder or disease
pathology - Correct Answers -study of changes in cells and tissues as a result of injury or disease
pathogenesis - Correct Answers -the disease beginning
disease - Correct Answers -the functional impairment of cells, tissues, organs
etiology - Correct Answers -cause of disease
primary prevention - Correct Answers -prohibits a disease condition from occurring
secondary prevention - Correct Answers -it's the early detection of disease through screening
and early treatment
tertiary prevention - Correct Answers -it's rehabilitation of a patient after detection of disease
mechanism of cell death - Correct Answers -the changes in cell and organelle structure and
function prevent the cell from returning to normal condition. ex: apoptosis, necrosis
hypertrophy - Correct Answers -an increase in cell size. ex: breast size in pregnancy
hyperplasia - Correct Answers -increase on number of cells
, metaplasia - Correct Answers -refers to the changing of one cell type to another. ex: GERD
dysplasia - Correct Answers -refers to the actual change in cell size, shape, uniformity,
arrangement, and structure. these cells can progress to cancer
acromegaly - Correct Answers -a condition of hyperplasia characterized by excessive growth
cardiac hypertrophy - Correct Answers -disease of cardiac muscle that result from excessive
work load and functional demand
primary goal of inflammation - Correct Answers -to increase blood flow to the cite of an injury
and close up all open areas
first line of defense - Correct Answers -relies on the protection of the skin and mucous
membranes
second line of defense - Correct Answers -waged through an effective inflammatory response
factors that promote wound healing - Correct Answers -adequate dietary intake of water,
protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals
third line of defense - Correct Answers -activated through immune response
phases of tissue repair - Correct Answers -inflammatory phase:
- acute inflammatory response
- cover the wound
