NURS 251 PORTAGE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FINAL
EXAM MODULE 1-10
A bodybuilder's muscles will display hyperplasia. - (correct answer)
False
During pregnancy, uterine enlargement is caused by hypoplasia. -
(correct answer) False (It's hypertrophy and hyperplasia.)
Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an
increase in the number of cells - (correct answer) False (It's an increase
in the size of the cells)
Hypertrophy can occur under normal and pathological conditions -
(correct answer) True
Sensitivity - (correct answer) Proportion of people with a disease who
are positive for that disease
Reliability - (correct answer) How likely the same result will occur if
repeated
Validity - (correct answer) How a tool measures what it is intended to
measure
Specificity - (correct answer) People without the disease who are
negative on a given test
Which is NOT true of the cytoskeleton? - (correct answer) It includes
peroxisomes and proteasomes
Which of the following move across the cell membrane via diffusion? Select
all that apply. - (correct answer) Oxygen, carbon dioxide, water
Which of the following are false of the cell? - (correct answer) The
rough ER is the site for lipid synthesis.
,Which are false of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. - (correct
answer) 1. they control free radicals
2. They are found far from the site of energy consumption
High blood pressure is an example of which of the following? - (correct
answer) pathophysiology
A patient has a fever and rash. What are these examples of? - (correct
answer) signs
Which of the following is helpful to the clinician on how to deliver health
care in certain circumstances? - (correct answer) Clinical practice
guidelines
Which of the following is the effect of an illness on one's life? - (correct
answer) morbidity
Define primary prevention and give an example: - (correct answer) 1
.remove risk factors to prevent disease from occurring
2. Example(s) - taking folic acid while pregnant to prevent neural tube
defects, vaccinating children to prevent communicable disease, eating
healthy and exercising to prevent heart disease, and wearing seatbelts or
helmets.
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. - (correct
answer) The two types of gangrenous necrosis are wet and dry. Dry
necrosis is tissue that has become dry and wrinkled and can become
brown or black. It is a slow spread. Wet grangrenous is swollen and moist
tissue. It is a rapid spread.
Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one type
of necrosis. - (correct answer) Necrosis is cell death in a tissue of a
living person. One type of necrosis is coagulative necrosis and it is sudden
cut off of blood supply, this can happen with the heart.

1. Viruses
2. Alcohol
3. Reactive oxygen species
4. Electrical burn
, 5. Thermal burn
6. Iron deficiency anemia
7. Mercury toxicity
8. Low oxygen to tissues
9. Parasites
10. Fractures - (correct answer) 1. biologic agents
2. chemical injury
3. free radical injury
4. physical agents
5. radiation injury
6. nutritional imbalance
7. chemical injury
8. hypoxic cell injury
9. biologic agents
10. physical agents
List the 4 types of tissue found in the body. Pick 2 and give a description
and example of each. - (correct answer) 1. Epithelial, Connective,
Nervous, Muscle
2. Epithelial tissue lacks blood vessles and is located on the surfaces of our
body. An example of epithelial tissue is our skin.
3. Connective tissues connects and supports various tissues. Loose areolar
is an example of a connective tissue.
What term means "cell eating" and engulfs and then kills microorganisms
or other particulate matter? - (correct answer) phagocytosis
What is the term to describe when cells use energy to move ions against
an electrical or chemical gradient? - (correct answer) active transport
Electrical potentials that exist in the cell membrane are called what? -
(correct answer) membrane potentials
What is the diffusion of water called? - (correct answer) osmosis
Blood tests for tumor markers are the single best screening tool for cancer.
Why or why not? - (correct answer) No, blood tests for tumor markers
can be elevated under benign conditions. Vs in early stages of malignant
cancer, they are not elevated.
