1) Questions with Complete Solutions
order the factors in the process of tissue ischemia, starting from the initial step - Correct Answer
blockage in artery
decreased oxygenation
decreased cellular metabolism
vital organs becoming hypoxic
atp production inhibited
failure of sodium pump causing cells to enlarge and rupture
invades or damages the cells - Correct Answer microorganisms
result of genetic defects or inborn errors of metabolism - Correct Answer abnormal accumulation of
metabolites in the cells
changes the permeability of the cellular membrane - Correct Answer chemical toxins
alters cellular contents and changes the dna - Correct Answer radiation exposure
which occurs when cells are deprived of oxygen - Correct Answer cells stop producing energy
a person has developed a blockage in an artery that brings blood to the foot and has impaired
circulation with severe cell injury. the person undergoes surgical repair that is successful. which
happens to the cells that were injured - Correct Answer cells will repair themselves
which conditions force a cell to adapt - Correct Answer metabolic changes
decreased atp levels
increased cellular ph
decreased oxygenation
which person would be at risk for cellular atrophy - Correct Answer a person with a stroke who can't
use the right arm
, which cellular growth pattern would be expected due to an increased workload on the heart -
Correct Answer hypertrophy
which abnormal cell growth pattern may occur as a result of pregnancy - Correct Answer hyperplasia
a person who has smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for 40 years is at risk for which type of cell
growth pattern - Correct Answer metaplasia
which statement best describes a benign neoplasm - Correct Answer non cancerous lesion that does
not spread
which is an example of hypoxia - Correct Answer the brain receiving less oxygen
which would be an expected cellular finding in a person who had a myocardial infarction due to a
clot blocking a vessel - Correct Answer the cells will die
which changes describe the end result of cellular adaptation - Correct Answer changes in structure
and function of DNA
a healthcare provider is caring for a person with an inborn error of metabolism. which would be an
expected finding - Correct Answer metabolite accumulation in the cells
which condition occurs as a result of cellular death - Correct Answer cell lysis
release of lysosomal enzymes
nucleus disintegration
which statements describe the changes that occur with hypertrophy as opposed to hyperplasia -
Correct Answer hypertrophy causes an increase in cell size
