Manifestation
cause of disease Correct Answer-Etiology
Increased in size of individual cells resulting in enlarged tissue mass
Correct Answer-hypertrophy
Mature cell type is replaced by a different mature cell type Correct
Answer-Metaplasia
loss of differentiation of cells; reversion to a more primitive cell type
Correct Answer-Anaplasia
,decrease in cell size Correct Answer-Atrophy
Normal cellular genes that when altered by mutation becomes an
oncogene that can contribute to cancer Correct Answer-Protooncogenes
A disease in which some body cells grow and divide uncontrollably,
damaging the parts of the body around them. Correct Answer-Cancer
benign fatty tumor Correct Answer-Lipoma
a benign tumor that arises in or resembles glandular tissue Correct
Answer-Adenoma
a sarcoma in which the predominant cell type is a malignant fibroblast.
Correct Answer-Fibrosarcoma
malignant tumor of connective tissue Correct Answer-Sarcoma
Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and cavities.
Correct Answer-Epithelial tissue
a type of cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen
Correct Answer-Fibroblast
,Type of cancer that starts in mucus-producing glandular cells of the
body Correct Answer-Adenocarcinoma
Unfavorable result of a disease Correct Answer-Complication
Increases irritability of nerves causing: restlessness, muscle twitching,
tingling, finger numbness, eventually tetany, seizures, and coma Correct
Answer-How does alkalosis impact nerves?
Respiratory alkalosis. Exhaling more CO2 than they are bringing in
Correct Answer-What type of imbalance can hyperventilation lead to
and how?
Regulates calcium and phosphorous concentration in the extracellular
fluid; if calcium concentrations in EC fluid fall below normal, brings it
back WNL. Calcium increases, phosphate in blood is reduced Correct
Answer-What is parathyroid hormone?
Too much can cause bone issues Correct Answer-What happens when
parathyroid hormone increases?
Assciated with maternal migraines and seizures, premature membrane
rupture, and placental separation from the uterus. Hypertensive crisis.
Correct Answer-How does cocaine impact pregnancy?
Suppress the immune system Correct Answer-Glucocorticoids
, Black, dry Correct Answer-What does dry gangrene look like?
Cardiac contractions become weak since cardiac muscles rely on free
calcium. Ca ions bind to troponin which exposes binding sites Correct
Answer-How does low calcium impact cardiac contractions?
Manifested in heterozygous males who lack matching normal gene on
the Y chromosome. Females are carriers when they are heterozygous.
Correct Answer-Transmission patterns for X linked recessive disorders
Superficial Pathway Correct Answer-Where are the acupuncture points
located?
Increased milk and antacid intake can lead to hypercalcemia Correct
Answer-What is milk-alkali syndrome?
Acidosis due to loss of bicarbonate in the stool Correct Answer-
Consequences of prolonged diarrhea?
1. renal failure
2. deficit of aldosterone
3. K+ sparing diuretics
4. leakage of intracellular K+ into the ECF (w/ extensive tissue damage)
