NURS 315 - Pathophysiology EXAM 1
Questions And Answers 100% Pass
Atrophy -
correct answer ✅-is the decrease in the size of a cell
-when a limb is immobilized in a cast and active muscle movement
is impaired
Hypertrophy -
correct answer ✅-increase in tropic, or growth, signals which then
causes an increase in cell size
Hyperplasia -
correct answer ✅-caused by hormone signaling and an increase in
workload
-causes in increase in the number of cells
Metaplasia -
correct answer ✅-changing of one cell type to another
-one way that cells adapt to persistenet stressors
Dysplasia -
correct answer ✅-actual change in cell size, shape, uniformity,
arrangement, and structure
-cells response to a chronic and persistent stressor and is likely to
resolve when the stressor is removed
,NURS 315 - Pathophysiology EXAM 1
Questions And Answers 100% Pass
Apoptosis -
correct answer ✅-physiologic and pathologic cell response to a
"cellular suicide"
-programmed cell death prompted by a genetic signal and is
designed to replace old cells with new
Necrosis -
correct answer ✅-disorderly process associated with inflammation
-death of cells related to cell injury
Ischemia outcome -
correct answer ✅-decreased oxygen supply to the cell
Hypoxia -
correct answer ✅-result from failure in the delivery of oxygen to
cells
-ex. problems with blood flow to the brain
Stem cells -
correct answer ✅-self renewal: can undergo numerous mitotic
divisions
, NURS 315 - Pathophysiology EXAM 1
Questions And Answers 100% Pass
-asymmetric replication
-differential potential
-embryonic stem cells hold the potential for broad differentiation
Diffusion -
correct answer ✅-particles from an area of higher concentration
to lower concentration
-concentration gradient
Osmosis -
correct answer ✅-process by which water passively moves across
the semipermeable cell membrane
-osmotic pressure
Active transport -
correct answer ✅-require energy when transporting particles
across the cell membrane
-common example: movement of sodium out of the cel across the
membrane with the assistance of the sodium-potassium pump
