UT TYLER FNP NURS 5350 ADV PATHO EXAM 1
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
Seven specialized cellular functions: -correct-answer-movement, conductivity,
metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, and reproduction
Nucleus-correct-answer-aids in cell division and control of genetic info, contains
DNA (think the egg yolk)
Ribosomes-correct-answer-RNA-protein complexes; float freely in cytoplasm;
provide sites for cellular protein synthesis; packages and modifies protein for
transportation and secretion
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-correct-answer-specializes in the synthesis and
transport of the protein and lipid components of most of the cells organelles
(memory factory)
Golgi complex-correct-answer-Organelle that packages and distributes proteins
into vesicles and transports within and outside of cell (refining plant in cytoplasm;
traffic cop- what goes in and out of cytoplasm)
Lysosomes-correct-answer-An organelle containing digestive enzymes; digest and
remove wastes, digest debris from dead cells; if ruptured, they can digest cell
contents; autodigestion occurs in starvation
, 2|Page
Mitochondria-correct-answer-Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of
ATP (energy) production; pathway for metabolism of carbs, lipids, and amino acids
into ATP; to keep the cell alive; can grow and self-replicate in the cell
Hypothermic injury-correct-answer-frostbite; initial vasoconstriction w/ paralysis
of vasomotor control leading to vasodilation-->increased membrane permeability-
->cellular swelling-->increased blood viscosity-->ischemic injury; thrombosis can
also occur leading to gangrene
Hyperthermic injury-correct-answer-burn; tissues destroyed; injury depends upon
extent of injury and how many skin layers are involved
partial thickness injuries-correct-answer-capillary dilation and increased loss of
protein-rich fluid (redness, swelling, and blistering)
full thickness injuries-correct-answer-extensive loss of fluid and plasma proteins;
cellular regeneration is not possible so grafting is needed to protect and heal
5 types of necrosis-correct-answer-coagulative, liquefactive, caseous, fat necrosis,
gangrenous
Coagulative necrosis-correct-answer-cell proteins are altered or denatured;
caused from hypoxia caused by severe ischemia
