NURS 315 - Pathophysiology EXAM 1 PREP Questions
With Complete Solutions
2 mechanisms of cell death Correct Answers -apoptosis and
necrosis
Active transport Correct Answers -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
Acute Correct Answers occurred rapidly and/or short course;
ex: acute myocardial infarction
Aerobic Correct Answers -chemical reactions of oxidation and
reduction between oxygen and nutrient products such as glucose
Albumin Correct Answers -protein made by the liver
-serum albumin test measures the amount of this protein in the
clear liquid portion of the blood
Allele, depletion, duplication, inversion, insertion, translocation
(CHAP. 6) Correct Answers .
Anaerobic Correct Answers -process of ATP production that
occurs without oxygen
Anorexia Correct Answers -manifestation present within the
inflammatory response caused by the presence of circulating
chemical mediators
, Apoptosis Correct Answers -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
Atrophy Correct Answers -is the decrease in the size of a cell
-when a limb is immobilized in a cast and active muscle
movement is impaired
Autosomal dominant Correct Answers -parent heterozygous
each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the damaged gene;
offspring inheritance = dominant nature of gene is likely to lead
to disease
Autosomal recessive Correct Answers -child must be
homozygous for the mutated gene to express the disease; both
parents must have at least one copy of the damage gene for the
disease
Benign Correct Answers -localized and closely resemble the
tissue of origin
Biopsy Correct Answers -an examination of tissue removed
from a living body to discover the presence, cause, or extent of
the disease
Buffer Correct Answers -mixing of acid and base to resist pH
change; system for trading stronger acids and bases for weaker
varieties to achieve acid-base balance
