A bodybuilder's muscles will display hyperplasia. - ANSWERFalse
Barrett esophagus is an example of dysplasia - ANSWERfalse
hypertrophy is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the
number of cells - ANSWERTrue
Lack of nerve stimulation can cause cells to atrophy - ANSWERTrue
proportion of people with a disease who are positive for the disease - ANSWERsensitivity
how likely the same result will occur if repeated - ANSWERreliability
how a tool measures what it is intended to measure - ANSWERvalidity
people without the disease who are negative on a given test - ANSWERspecificity
Which is NOT true of the cytoskeleton? - ANSWERit includes peroxisomes and proteasomes
Which of the following are true of the cell? Select all that apply. - ANSWER1: Proteins carry out the functions of the cell membrane
2:Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell
3:Microfilaments are thin, threadlike cytoplasmic structures
Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply. - ANSWER1: Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within
2:Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells
3: Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation High blood pressure is an example of which of the following? - ANSWERpathophysiology
A patient complains of chest pain and an elevated blood pressure. What are these examples of? - ANSWERsigns and symptoms
Which of the following is true of a test's sensitivity? - ANSWERIf negative, it can safely be assumed that the person does not have a disease
Chemical agents (poison, alcohol) are examples of which of the following? - ANSWEREtiologic factors
Define tertiary prevention and give an example: - ANSWERTertiary prevention occurs after a disease has been diagnosed and clinical intervention is needed to reduce complications or deterioration. One example is the use of certain medications one must take after a heart attack to help reduce the risk of a future event or death.
Which are false of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. - ANSWER1: They are found far from the site of energy consumption.
2:They control free radicals.
Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one type of necrosis. - ANSWERnecrosis is cell death to an organ or tissue with still being apart of a living person. An example of this would be luiquefactive necrosis. this is when the cells die and the catalytic enzymes do not get destroyed after the cells death. This could cause necrosis
sunburn - ANSWERradiation injury
obesity - ANSWERnutritional imbalances
reactive oxygen species - ANSWERfree radical injury
low oxygen to tissues - ANSWERhypoxic cell injury
fractures - ANSWERphysical agents
OTC drugs - ANSWERChemical injury
hypothermia - ANSWERphysical agents
