PATHOPHYSIOLOGY- CAPRIOTTI CH 2
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
SOLUTIONS 2024
aneurysm - ANSWER ballooning of a weakened portion of an arterial wall. After the formation of an
aneurysm, the persistent, pulsatile force of hypertension can further weaken the wall of the aneurysm,
causing rupture and hemorrhage.
Angiogenesis - ANSWER growth of new blood vessels branches stimulated by exercise.
Apoptosis - ANSWER cells degenerate at a specific time period with no adverse effects on the body. (It's
programmed).
atherogenesis - ANSWER is the gradual and progressive development of atherosclerotic plaque within
the arteries that is initiated by endothelial injury
atrophy - ANSWER is a cellular adaptation in which cells revert to a smaller size in response to changes in
metabolic requirements or their environment. Atrophy occurs when a cell's environment cannot support
its metabolic requirements. The cell's smaller size allows for less metabolic demand and more efficient
functioning that is compatible with survival.
benign - ANSWER mild, not cancerous
biopsy - ANSWER the removal of living tissue from the body for diagnostic examination
dysplasia - ANSWER abnormal development or growth of cells, tissues, or organs
Etiology - ANSWER the study of the original cause of a cellular alteration or disease
gangrene - ANSWER death of tissue caused by loss of blood supply followed by bacterial invasion
Histology - ANSWER study of tissues
