Rasmussen Pathophysiology Exam 1
function of mitochondria correct answersATP production/cellular
respiration, powerhouse of the cell
Rough ER correct answersThat portion of the endoplasmic reticulum
studded with ribosomes.
Smooth ER correct answersThat portion of the endoplasmic reticulum
that is free of ribosomes.
Homeostasis correct answersA tendency to maintain a balanced or
constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry,
such as blood glucose, around a particular level
Hypertrophy correct answersincrease in muscle/tissue size, excessive
development
atrophy correct answersthe wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any
progressive decline or failure; to waste away
Ischemia correct answersan inadequate blood supply to an organ or part
of the body, especially the heart muscles.
S/S of Objective Data correct answersAny observations made by using
your senses (pts. blood pressure, physical findings, and lab values)
S/S of Subjective Data correct answersAny symptoms pt. complains of,
what the pt. feels (pain)
Epinephrine correct answersNeurotransmitter secreted by the adrenal
medulla in response to stress. Also known as adrenaline.
Renin correct answershormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood
pressure by influencing vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels)
What causes edema? correct answers-reduced concentration of plasma
proteins
-increased permeability of capillary wall
-increased venous pressure
-blockage of lymph vessels
Signs and symptoms of fluid excess correct answersedema, dysnpea
(trouble breathing), hyptertension (high bp), JVD, pulse increase and
bounding, weight increase
, Signs and symptoms of dehydration correct answersDry mucous
membranes, decreased skin turgor, Low BP, Low pulse, fatigue, Increased
HCT, decreased mental function, confusion, and loss of consciousness
S/S of hypocalcemia correct answers- muscle twitches/tetany
- hyperactive DTRs
- positive Chvostek's sign (tapping on the facial nerve triggering facial
twitching)
-positive Trousseau's sign (hand/finger spasms with sustained blood
pressure cuff inflation)
- seizures
Osmosis correct answersDiffusion of water through a selectively
permeable membrane
Diffusion correct answersMovement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
active transport correct answersEnergy-requiring process that moves
material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
Effect of hypertonic solution correct answerscell shrinks and
can die effect of a hypotonic solution correct answerscell
swells and can burst
active immunity correct answersA form of acquired immunity in
which the body produces its own antibodies against disease-causing
antigens.
passive immunity correct answersAn individual does not produce his or
her own antibodies, but rather receives them directly from another
source, such as mother to infant through breast milk
Examples of active immunity correct answersnatural infection, vaccines,
Examples of passive immunity correct answersIgA in breast milk, maternal
IgG crossing placenta, antitoxin, humanized monoclonal antibody
acquired immunity correct answersImmunity that is present only after
exposure and is highly specific.
examples of acquired immunity correct answers1) having the infection 2)
vaccination
innate immunity correct answersImmunity that is present before exposure
and effective from birth. Responds to a broad range of pathogens.
Examples of innate immunity correct answersskin, hair, cilia, mucus
membranes, digestive enzymes, stomach acidity, inflammatory
response, fever, inflammation
