What is the definition of "pathophysiology"? Your Answer: pathophysiology is the study of disease and the body's response to disease Pathophysiology is defined as not only the cellular and organ changes that occur with disease, but also the effects that these changes have on total body function. Question 2 0 / 0 pts Name the 5 etiologic factors and give an example if listed. Your Answer: 1) physical, such as a burn 2) chemical, such as poison 3) biological, such as a virus or...

What is innate immunity? Your Answer: first line of defense, natural immunity, fast acting Innate immunity, also called natural immunity, is the first line of defense. This type of defense is in place before an infection takes place and can function immediately. It is comprised of physical, chemical, cellular, and molecular defenses. Question 2 Not yet graded / O pts How does the skin act as a physical barrier? Your Answer: tightly packed cells prevent bacteria and other toxins from en...

Define neoplasia and neoplasm: Your Answer: Neoplasia: the process of new growth neoplasm: the growth itself Neoplasia is a disorder of altered cell differentiation and growth. Neoplasm is the "new growth." Question 2 0 / 0 pts Define proliferation and differentiation: Your Answer: Proliferation: process of cell division where new cells are formed to replace old cells or during growth and development when new cells are needed Differentiation: process of cell division where cells...

False, blood tests cannot make a diagnosis of cancer. Tissue biopsies can only diagnose. Tumor markers are helpful to assess response to therapy or reoccurrence. Tissue biopsies are important because they help in diagnosing cancer and histology. S/S that a pt may present with that might indicate a cancer diagnosis is bleeding or a wound that doesn’t heal. 2 systemic manifestations of cancer exhibited by cancer pts are weight loss and anemia. The TNM system helps classify cancers. T s...

The Renal System 8.1: Structure and Function of the Kidney ● Kidneys filter ¼ of average person’s cardiac output. Process essential ions, reabsorb substances which maintain normal body fluids, excrete waste products through urine, regulate blood pressure and volume, and stimulate RBC production. Vital for maintaining homeostasis ● Adult kidney is bean-shaped, about the size of a fist, weighs approx 5 oz. R kidney lies slightly lower than the L because of the liver’s location just...

Physiology Review ● Introduction to Cancer ○ Second leading cause of death in the United States. ○ Statistics (2018 estimates): Deaths, New Diagnoses. ○ Improved death rates and 5-year survival rates since 1990s. ○ Can affect all ages and almost any organ. ○ Most common types by diagnosis (overall, men, women). ○ Highest mortality rate (men and women). ○ Topics covered in module: Cell cycle, proliferation, differentiation, terminology, characteristics, etiology, diagnost...

Endocrine Physiology ● Comprised of glands-pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and organs-pancreas, gonads ● Produce hormones which regulate bodily functions including metabolism, growth, sex drive, and sleep regulation ● Endocrine: Hormones are released into circulation to act on a distant target organ (TSH, ADH) ● Paracrine: Hormones act locally on cells close to where they are released (estrogen, testosterone) ● Autocrine: Hormones produce a biologic action on the cel...

Gastrointestinal Tract Disorders 7.1: Anatomy and Physiology Review ● Main functions of the GI tract are to digest food and absorb nutrients into the bloodstream. The GI tract is a long muscular tube that extends from mouth to anus. The upper GI tract contains the mouth, esophagus, and stomach. The middle GI tract contains the duodenum, jejunum, and ilium. The lower tract contains the cecum, colon, and rectum. The accessory organs include the salivary glands, liver, and pancreas ● Mo...

: Disorders of the Pulmonary System 5.1: Physiology Review ● Main function of respiratory system is gas exchange. Primary goal is to get oxygen into the blood while expelling CO2 from the body ● Divided into conducting airways and respiratory tissues. Nasal passages, mouth and pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles are conducting airways. Air brought in from atm & directed to lungs through conducting airways, gas exchange takes place in resp tissues in lungs ● Most conducti...

Module 7.1 — Anatomy & Physiology Review Key Concepts ● Functions of the GI tract: digestion & absorption → Notes: ○ amylase - carb bd, lipase - fat breakdown. ○ Emulsification - stomach - mechanical agitation; duodenum -chemical digestion - bile and pancreatic lipase help ○ In stomach - pepsin - carb/protein digestion ○ Absorption → process of moving nutrients and other materials from external environment of the GI tract into the internal environment ○ Small int. - D...

I. Features of Innate and Adaptive Immunity (Source 3.1) Immune System Overview ● Immunity = protection from disease (esp. infectious). ● Immune response = coordinated cell activity; may be immediate or delayed. ● Problems arise when excessive, misdirected, or self-reactive. Innate Immunity (Natural, First Line) ● Immediate, non-specific defense; present before infection. ● Physical/Chemical Barriers → Physical skin, Chemical tears, saliva, mucus, mucus membranes, stomach aci...

Structure & Function of the Skeleton and Bone Overview The skeleton works closely with muscles and connective tissues for support and movement. The skeletal system gives the body structure, protects internal organs, allows movement, produces blood cells, and stores minerals like calcium. It includes bone tissue, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. The skeleton is divided into: ● Axial skeleton – skull, thorax (ribs/sternum), vertebral column ● Appendicular skeleton – upper/lower ex...
