b.sodium-potassium pump reestablishes resting potential
c. sodium moves into the cells
d. stimulus is received
CORRECT ANSWER
1. Stimulus is received
2. sodium moves into the cell
3. potassium moves out of the cell
4. pump reestablishes resting potential
Question 4
Which is the best description of paracrine signaling in cellular communication?
CORRECT ANSWER
Cells secrete local chemical messengers that act on different target cell types
Question 5
Which is the expected change in cardiac cells in response to increase in workload?
CORRECT ANSWER
Hypertrophy: increase in workload or stress. Can be pathologic (maladaptive) or physiologic
(like going to the gym)

injury?
CORRECT ANSWER
2
@THE STUDY VAULT
,Water

b. initiates the inflammatory response
c. undergoes programmed cell death
d. converts to different cell types
CORRECT ANSWER
undergoes programmed cell death
Question 8

Liquefactive
Question 10
3
@THE STUDY VAULT
, In what type of necrosis does partially digested necrotic cells develop a cheesy
appearance?
CORRECT ANSWER
Caseous
Question 11
What type of necrosis primarily occurs in the breast tissue and abdominal tissue?
CORRECT ANSWER
Fat
Question 12
Which statement will the nurse include to describe the acute inflammatory response to a
co-worker?
a. provides specific immune responses to antigens
b. initiates exaggerated response to self antigens
c. occurs rapidly in response to cellular injury
d. creates antibodies in response to bacterial invasion
CORRECT ANSWER
occurs rapidly in response to cellular injury
-inflammation is NOT specific, does NOT involve antigens or antibodies
