◉ Hypertrophy can occur under normal and pathological conditions.
True or False
Exam 1. Answer: True
◉ Which are true of the mitochondria? Select all that apply
Exam 1
1) It is involved in cellular respiration
2) They are found far from the site of energy consumption
3) They play a role in apoptosis
4) They control free radicals. Answer: It is involved in cellular
respiration
They play a role in apoptosis
◉ Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply
Exam 1
1) Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within
, 2 )The main structural component is made of proteins
3) Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle
cells
4) Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation. Answer:
Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within
Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle
cells
Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
◉ Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis
Exam 1. Answer: Dry gangrene occurs when blood supply is slowly
reduced to an area. The area is dehydrated and becomes dark or black in
color. Commonly seen in patients with diabetes. It is not very painful,
but tissues eventually die.
Wet gangrene is caused by a sudden reduction in blood flow. The area is
cold and swollen, with no pulse. This can occur from trauma. Bacteria is
involved and is very painful. It has the appearance of pus, because it
looks wet. There is also a foul smell
◉ Cell proliferation is the process in which proliferating cells become
more specialized cell types. True or False
Exam 2. Answer: False Answer: cell differentiation
