Questions With Correct Verified And
Well Analyzed Solutions | Already
Graded A+ | 2026-2027 Latest
Update!!!
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) - ANSWER-Secretion of ADH and the
perception of thirst are stimulated by an increase in plasma osmolality
Apoptosis - ANSWER-programmed death such as inflammation
ATP - ANSWER-Adenosine Triphosphate is energy that needs oxygen.
aerobic metabolism
Atrophy - ANSWER-physiologic atrophy of the thymus gland in
childhood
Dysplasia - ANSWER-Not a form of cellular adaptation
Effect of muscular atrophy on Na+ and K+ levels - ANSWER-F&E: Total
body K+ concentration decreases r/t decreased cellular mass
, An increased Na+/K+ ratio suggests that the decreased cellular mass is
accompanied by an increased extracellular compartment
Ethanol - ANSWER-Liver enzymes metabolize ethanol to acetaldehyde
which causes hepatic cellular dysfunction. Peroxisomes help to
detoxify ethanol. Without peroxisomes the ethanol is turned into fat
in the liver (fatty liver)
explain the process that occurs in response to hypernatremia -
ANSWER-Water is drawn from the intracellular space to the
extravascular space in an effort to restore fluid balance. Water follows
Na+ outside of the cell causing it to shrink
Free radical - ANSWER-An electrically uncharged atom(s) that has an
unpaired electron. Having one electron that is unpaired makes the
atom unstable so the atom either has to take an electron from
another molecule or give one away
Hypernatremia; what causes it - ANSWER-Na+ greater than 147 mEq/L
inadequate free water intake; inappropriate administration of
hypertonic saline solution; over secretion of aldosterone
Hyperplasia - ANSWER-increase in number of cells
Compensatory hyperplasia would be the regeneration of liver cells
when 70% of liver is removed
Pathologic hyperplasia would be seen in the endometrium
Hypertrophy - ANSWER-increase in cell size
Physiologic hypertrophy would be increase in myocardial cell size r/t
endurance training
