Chapter 1Introduction to Pathophysiology
x x x
1. The nucleus
x , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
x x x x x x x x x x
A) is the site of protein synthesis
x x x x x
B) contains the genetic code x x x
C) transforms cellular energy x x
D) initiates aerobic metabolism x x
2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power p
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
lants of the cell because they:
x x x x x
A) contain RNA for protein synthesis. x x x x
B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
x x x x
C) extract energy from organic compounds.
x x x x
D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
x x x x x
3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid bi
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
layer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:
x x x x x x x x x x
A) bound and transmembrane proteins.
x x x
B) complex, long carbohydrate chains. x x x
C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.
x x x x
D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
x x x x x x
4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-
x x x x
cell communication utilizes chemical messenger systems that:
x x x x x x
A) displace surface receptor proteins. x x x
B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. x x x x
C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
x x x
D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
x x x x
5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
x x x x x x x x x
,A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.
x x x x x
B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water.
x x x x x x
C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm.
x x x x x
D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.
x x x x x x
6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
x x x x x x x
into the
x
xextracellular fluid. x
A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport
x x x x x x x
B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
x x x x x
C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances
x x x x x x
D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion
x x x x x x x
7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials is:
x x x x x x x x x
A) diffusion of current-carrying ions.
x x x
B) millivoltage of electrical potential. x x x
C) polarization of charged particles. x x x
D) ion channel neurotransmission.

8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the nu
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
mber of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description and
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
type of epithelial tissue?
x x x
A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not e
x x x x x x x x x x x
xtend to surface x x
B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement
x x x x x x x x x x x
membrane
C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface epithelia and underlying
x x x x x x x x
connective tissue x
D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; deepest layer rests on b
x x x x x x x x x x
asement membrane x
9. Connective tissue contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
x x x x x x x
A) providing a fibrous framework for capillaries.
x x x x x
B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.
x x x x x x
, C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers muscles.
x x x x x x x
D) filling spaces between tissues to keep organs in place.
x x x x x x x x
10. Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smooth muscle (also k
x x x x x x x x x x x
nown as involuntary muscle) differs by:
x x x x x
A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
x x x x x x
B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands.
x x x x x x x
C) having rapid contractions and abundant cross-striations.
x x x x x
D) contracting in response to increased intracellular calcium.
x x x x x x
11. Which of the following aspects of the function of the nucleus is performed by ri
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
bosomal RNA (rRNA)? x x
A) Copying and carrying DNA instructions for protein synthesis
x x x x x x x
B) Carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
x x x x x x x x
C) Providing the site where protein synthesis occurs
x x x x x x
D) Regulating and controlling protein synthesis x x x x
12. Breakdown and removal of foreign substances and worn-
x x x x x x x
out cell parts are performed by which of the following organelles?
x x x x x x x x x x
A) Lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatus x
C) Ribosomes
D) Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) x x
13. Impairment in the function of peroxisomes would result in:
x x x x x x x x
A) inadequate sites for protein synthesis. x x x x
B) an inability to transport cellular products across the cell membrane.
x x x x x x x x x
C) insufficient energy production within a cell. x x x x x
D) accumulation of free radicals in the cytoplasm. x x x x x x
14. After several months of trying to conceive, a couple is undergoing fertility testi
x x x x x x x x x x x x
ng. Semen analysis indicates that the mans sperm have decreased motility, a find
x x x x x x x x x x x x
ing that is thought to underlie the couples inability to become pregnant.
