NURS 611 Advanced Pathophysiology Exam 1
GUARANTEED PASS !!
2 ATP - ANSWER How much ATP can anaerobic respiration
make?
36 ATP - ANSWER How many ATP are produced in aerobic
respiration?
ACE Inhibitors - ANSWER Stop ACE converting enzyme from
converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
Acetaldehyde - ANSWER An intermediate in alcohol
metabolism.
Acidosis - ANSWER Hyperventilation to blow off C02; kidneys
excrete bicarb and reabsorb H+ ions.
Active Transport - ANSWER Energy-requiring movement of
molecules across a membrane, example is Na/K pump.

Aldosterone - ANSWER Retains salt.
Alkalosis - ANSWER Hypoventilation to hold onto C02; kidneys
excrete bicarb and reabsorb H+ ions.
Angiotensin II - ANSWER Responsible for vasoconstriction.
Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) - ANSWER Activated by increased
plasma osmolality. Reabsorbs water and salt.
Atrophy - ANSWER Thymus gland, muscle wasting.
Autosomal Dominant - ANSWER Expressed as big D. Examples
are breast cancer, marfan syndrome, polycystic kidney disease,
Huntington's Disease, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
50% recurrence risk for each child.
Autosomal Recessive - ANSWER Expressed as small d. Must be
homozygous (dd) to express disease. Examples are CF, tay sachs,
PKU, Wilson Disease, hemochromatosis, thalassemias.
