It is involved in cellular respiration
They are found far from the site of energy consumption
Correct!
They play a role in apoptosis
They control free radicals
Question 4
2..5 pts
Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply. Correct!
Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within
The main structural component is made of proteins
Correct!
Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells Correct!
Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
Question 5 pts
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis.
Your Answer:
Dry gangrene occurs when blood supply is slowly reduced to an area. The area is dehydrated and becomes dark or black in color. Commonly seen in patients with diabetes. It is not very painful, but tissues eventually die.
Wet gangrene is casued with a sudden reduction in blood flow. The area is cold and swollen, with no pulse. This can occur from trauma. Bacteria is involved and is very painful. It has the appearance of pus, becasue it looks wet. There is also a foul smell.
In dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid.
Question 6
2..5 pts
True/False:
Cell proliferation is the process in which proliferating cells become more specialized cell types.
True Correct!
False
False, cell differentiation
Question 7
2..5 pts
True/False:
Cell differentiation is the process of increasing cell numbers by mitotic cell division.
True Correct!
False
False, cell proliferation
Question 8

Your Answer:
Stem cells possess potency and self-renewal.
