TEST BANK QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ Characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis.
Answer: Symmetrical joint inflammation, where RA is an autoimmune
disease that affects joints bilaterally.
⩥ Type of mutation with a change in a single nucleotide.
Answer: Point mutation, which can alter protein function or be silent
depending on the codon change.
⩥ Fluid compartment with majority of body water.
Answer: Intracellular, where approximately two-thirds of total body
water is inside cells.
⩥ Pathophysiological mechanism of GERD.
Answer: Incompetent lower esophageal sphincter, where a weak LES
allows acid to reflux into the esophagus, causing symptoms.
⩥ Hormone for uterine contractions during labor.
Answer: Oxytocin, which stimulates myometrial contractions and is
used clinically to induce labor.
,⩥ Lab value elevated in pancreatitis.
Answer: Serum lipase, which is more specific than amylase for
pancreatic inflammation.
⩥ Type of anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
Answer: (Definition not provided in the notes)
⩥ Megaloblastic anemia.
Answer: B12 deficiency leads to impaired DNA synthesis, causing large,
immature RBCs.
⩥ Common clinical manifestation in anemia.
Answer: Fatigue
⩥ Reduced oxygen-carrying capacity.
Answer: Results in decreased tissue oxygenation.
⩥ Most specific cardiac enzyme for myocardial infarction.
Answer: Troponin I
⩥ Troponin rise after MI.
, Answer: Troponin rises within hours of MI and is highly specific for
cardiac muscle damage.
⩥ Typical ECG change in hyperkalemia.
Answer: Peaked T waves
⩥ Effect of elevated potassium on ECG.
Answer: Elevated potassium alters repolarization, producing tall, peaked
T waves.
⩥ Primary function of the hypothalamus.
Answer: Regulation of homeostasis
⩥ Functions controlled by the hypothalamus.
Answer: Controls temperature, hunger, thirst, and endocrine signals.
⩥ Primary neurotransmitter in the sympathetic nervous system.
Answer: Norepinephrine
⩥ Role of norepinephrine.
Answer: Acts on adrenergic receptors during fight-or-flight responses.
