PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FINAL EXAM
LATEST VERSIONS 2024-2025 WELL
DETAILED 500 QUESTIONS AND
VERFLIED CORRECT ANSWERS
{ALREADY GRADEDA++}
Angelman syndrome - CORRECT ANSWERS - Deletion of normally active
maternal allele. Mental retardation, seizures, ataxia, inappropriate laughter
("happy puppet")
Canavan disease - CORRECT ANSWERS - autosomal recessive,
chromosome 17
enzyme aspartoacylase
hypotonia, poor head control, GE reflux of poor weight gain, demyelination,
progressive leukodstrophy, and death in 1st decade
coeliac disease - CORRECT ANSWERS - protein gluten is not properly
broken down
cystic fibrosis - CORRECT ANSWERS - Hereditary condition that causes the
exocrine glands to malfunction. The patient produces very thick mucus that
causes severe congestion within the lungs and digestive system.
down syndrome - CORRECT ANSWERS - Trisomy 21, a condition of
retardation and associated physical disorders caused by an extra chromosome in
one's genetic makeup
,duchenne muscular distrophy - CORRECT ANSWERS - A human genetic
disease caused by a sex-linked recessive allele; characterized by progressive
weakening and loss of muscle tissue
hemophillia - CORRECT ANSWERS - rare bleeding disorder in which your
blood doesnt clot normally.
klinefelter's syndrome - CORRECT ANSWERS - a chromosomal trisomy in
which males have an extra X chromosome resulting in an XXy condition;
affected individuals typically have reduced fertility
neurofibromatosis - CORRECT ANSWERS - autosomal dominant disease
characterized by numerous neurofibromas and by spots on the skin and often by
developmental abnormalities
phenlketonuria - CORRECT ANSWERS - A genetic disorder caused by a
particular pair of homozygous recessive genes and characterized by the inability
to break down phenylalanine, an amino acid found in many high-protein foods.
The resulting high blood levels of phenylalanine cause mental retardation
polycystic kidney disease - CORRECT ANSWERS - kidney disease
characterized by enlarged kidneys containing many cysts
sickle-cell disease - CORRECT ANSWERS - A human genetic disease
caused by a recessive allele that results in the substitution of a single amino acid
in the hemoglobin protein; characterized by deformed red blood cells that can
lead to numerous symptoms.
turner syndrome - CORRECT ANSWERS - where females only have a single
x chromosome instead of two
,acne - CORRECT ANSWERS - an inflammatory disease involving the
sebaceous glands of the skin
alopecia - CORRECT ANSWERS - loss of hair (especially on the head) or
loss of wool or feathers
angioma - CORRECT ANSWERS - a tumor consisting of a mass of blood or
lymphatic vessels
athlete's foot - CORRECT ANSWERS - Fungus infection usually in the skin
of the toes and soles
boil - CORRECT ANSWERS - a painful sore with a hard pus-filled core
basal cell carcinoma - CORRECT ANSWERS - Most common and least
severe type of skin cancer; often characterized by light or pearly nodules.
bowen's disease - CORRECT ANSWERS - carcinoma in situ on shaft of penis
(* risk of visceral ca)
callus - CORRECT ANSWERS - an area of skin that is thick or hard from
continual pressure or friction (as the sole of the foot)
corns - CORRECT ANSWERS - hard growths on the feet or palms of the
hands
cellulitis - CORRECT ANSWERS - an inflammation of body tissue
(especially that below the skin) characterized by fever and swelling and redness
and pain
dermatitis - CORRECT ANSWERS - inflammation of the skin
, dermatofibroma - CORRECT ANSWERS - fibrous tumor of the skin
eczema - CORRECT ANSWERS - Inflammatory, painful itching disease of
the skin, acute or chronic in nature, presenting many forms of dry or moist
lesions.
erythrasma - CORRECT ANSWERS - often as a interdigital toe web
maceration with fissures as well as shiny or scaly brown-red patches
erysipelas - CORRECT ANSWERS - an acute streptococcal infection
characterized by deep-red inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes
folliculitis - CORRECT ANSWERS - inflammation of a hair follicle
herpes - CORRECT ANSWERS - A viral infection causing small painful
blisters and inflammation, most commonly at the junction of skin and mucous
membrane in the mouth or nose or in the genitals
hives - CORRECT ANSWERS - an itchy skin eruption characterized by weals
with pale interiors and well-defined red margins
impetigo - CORRECT ANSWERS - Bacterial skin infection characterized by
isolated pustules that become crusted and rupture
jock itch - CORRECT ANSWERS - fungal infection of the groin (most
common in men)
kaposi's sarcoma - CORRECT ANSWERS - malignant tumor of the blood
vessels associated with AIDS
