Chapter 1Introduction
̦̣ to Pathophysiology
1.The nucleu
̦̣ ș̣ , which is essential for function
̦̣ and survival
̦̣ of the cell.
A) is the site of protein synthesis
B) contains the genetic code
C) transforms cellular
̦̣ energy
D) initiates aerobic metabolism
2.Although
̦̣ energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power
plants of the cell because
̦̣ they:
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.
B) utilize
̦̣ glycolysis for oxidative energy.
C) extract energy from organic compounds.
̦̣
D) store calcium
̦̣ bonds for muscle
̦̣ contractions.
3.Although
̦̣ the basic structu
̦̣ re
̦̣ of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid
bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions
̦̣ are carried ouț̣ by:
A) bound
̦̣ and transmembrane proteins.
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains.
C) surface
̦̣ antigens and hormone receptors.
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
4.To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication
̦̣ utilizes
̦̣ chemical
messenger systems that:
A) displace surface
̦̣ receptor proteins.
B) accumu
̦̣ late
̦̣ within cell gap junctions.
̦̣
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
D) release secretions into extracellular
̦̣ fluid.
̦̣
5.Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
,A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water.
C) activating pyruvate
̦̣ stored in the cytoplasm.
D) breaking down glucose
̦̣ to form lactic acid.
6.Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in into the
extracellular
̦̣ fluid.
̦̣
A) Engulfing
̦̣ and ingesting fluid
̦̣ and proteins for transport
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful̦̣ microorganisms
C) Removing cellular
̦̣ debris and releasing synthesized substances
̦̣
D) Destruction
̦̣ of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion
7.The process responsible for generating and conducting
̦̣ membrane potentials is:
A) diffusion
̦̣ of current-carrying
̦̣ ions.
B) millivoltage of electrical potential.
C) polarization of charged particles.
D) ion channel neurotransmission.
̦̣
8.Epithelial tissues
̦̣ are classified according to the shape of the cells and the
number
̦̣ of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description
and type of epithelial tissue?̦̣
A) Simple epithelium:
̦̣ cells in contact with intercellular
̦̣ matrix; some do not
extend to surface
̦̣
B) Stratified epithelium:
̦̣ single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement
membrane
C) Glandular
̦̣ epithelium:
̦̣ arise from surface
̦̣ epithelia and underlying
̦̣
connective tissue̦̣
D) Pseudostratified
̦̣ epithelium:
̦̣ multiple
̦̣ layers of cells; deepest layer rests on
basement membrane
9.Connective tissue̦̣ contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
A) providing a fibrouș̣ framework for capillaries.
B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular
̦̣ fibers.
, C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers muscles.
̦̣
D) filling spaces between tissues
̦̣ to keep organs in place.
10.Although
̦̣ all muscle
̦̣ tissue̦̣ cells have some similarities, smooth muscle
̦̣ (also
known as involuntary
̦̣ mu scle)
̦̣ differs by:
A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands.
C) having rapid contractions and abundant
̦̣ cross-striations.
D) contracting in response to increased intracellular
̦̣ calcium.
̦̣
11.Which of the following aspects of the function
̦̣ of the nucleu
̦̣ ș̣ is performed by
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
A) Copying and carrying DNA instructions
̦̣ for protein synthesis
B) Carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
C) Providing the site where protein synthesis occurs
̦̣
D) Regulating
̦̣ and controlling protein synthesis
12.Breakdown and removal of foreign substances
̦̣ and worn-ouț̣ cell parts are
performed by which of the following organelles?
A) Lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatuș̣
C) Ribosomes
D) Endoplasmic reticulu
̦̣ m
̦̣ (ER)
13.Impairment in the function
̦̣ of peroxisomes would
̦̣ resulț̣ in:
A) inadequate
̦̣ sites for protein synthesis.
B) an inability to transport cellular
̦̣ products
̦̣ across the cell membrane.
C) insufficient
̦̣ energy production
̦̣ within a cell.
D) accumu
̦̣ lation
̦̣ of free radicals in the cytoplasm.
14.After several months of trying to conceive, a couple
̦̣ is undergoing
̦̣ fertility
testing. Semen analysis indicates that the mans sperm have decreased motility,
a finding that is thought
̦̣ to underlie
̦̣ the couples
̦̣ inability to become pregnant.
