UNCo Pathophysiology NURS 326-935 Baird Patho Exam 1
powerpoints Questions With Complete Solutions
Active Immunity Correct Answers Antibodies or T cells
produced after either a natural exposure to an antigen or after
immunization. Ex. Vaccine this creates a memory cell. Vaccine
can either be live or killed infectious agents.
Acute disease Correct Answers is the sudden appearance of
signs and symptoms that last only a short time. Ex. heart attack.
Adaptive Immunity- immune response Correct Answers
Responds to antigens and develops slowly. Specificity-very
specific. Memory records it in memory so it will be able to fight
it again. Antibodies and lymphocytes.
ADH Correct Answers is the tap water hormone.
Causes the kidneys to reabsorb water.
Renal reabsorption of water due to ADH makes a smaller
volume of more concentrated
urine.
Aging and Immune function Correct Answers Decreased T cell
activity. Thymic size is 15% of its maximum size. Decreased
production of specific antibodies. Increase in circulating
autoantibodies. Decrease in circulating memory B cells.
Aging distribution of body fluids Correct Answers Decreased
percent of total body water
Increased adipose and decreased muscle mass
Renal decline
,Diminished thirst
Alarm stage Correct Answers Arousal of body
defenses.Stressor triggers the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
(HPA) axis hypathalimus, pituitary adrenal gland. A
neuroindicrin response occurs.
Activates sympathetic nervous system caused from the neuro.
Catacolomines glucocordacoides mineralcortocoid
Aldosterone Correct Answers is the saltwater hormone.
Causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water.
Renal reabsorption of sodium and water due to aldosterone
makes a smaller volume of urine.
Algor mortis Correct Answers body temperature falls between
1 and 1 and a half and becomes the environment temperature.
Allergy Correct Answers Excessive response. Environmental
antigens that cause atypical immunologic responses in
genetically predisposed individuals. Ex. pollens, molds and
fungi, foods, animals, etc. Symptoms range from annoying to
life threatening.
Alloimmunity Correct Answers Immune system reacts with
antigens on the tissue of other genetically dissimilar members of
the same species. ex. transplant rejection and transfusion
reactions.
Allostasis Correct Answers the ability of the body to adapt to
stress. A long term chronic exaggerated response to stress.
,Allostatic overload Correct Answers Exaggerated
pathophysiologic responses to stress. The systems involved in
this include the concentrations of cortisol, catecholamines of the
sympathetic nervous system, and pro-inflammatory cytokines as
well as a decline in parasympathetic activity.
Anaphylaxis Correct Answers Severe Type I Hypersensivity
Life-threatening
Rapid onset
Wheezing
Throat "closing"
Tight Chest
Dyspnea- trouble breathing
Erythema with welts
Anoxia Correct Answers A lack of oxygen caused by vascular
obstruction. Sudden obstruction ex. clot.
Anti-inflammatory steroids Correct Answers prevent
macrophages to go to the site of injury.
Antibodies Correct Answers Also called immunoglobulins
Chief function is to protect the individual from infection
Degree of antibody protection is assessed by an antibody titer
Produced by plasma cells.
Anticipatory response Correct Answers when you anticipate
something that is fearful to you. When your body mounts a
physiological response because of the anticipation of the
disruption of the body's steady state or homeostasis. ex. public
, speaking. or Abuse may have a physiologic stress response say
when a parent enters the room or has ptsd.
Antigen Correct Answers Infectious agent such as bacteria,
viruses, or bee stings.
Apoptosis Correct Answers (GOOD) programmed cellular
death. Gets rid of old cells to get ready for new cells. Active
proccess, programmed cell death. Physiologic-responsible for
normal cell turnover. Pathologic- an extracellular event that
occurs.
Atrophy Correct Answers cells change in size they become
smaller.
Autoimmunity Correct Answers When the body attacks itself.
Autoimmunity etiology Correct Answers Genetic factors,
environmental factors, malfunction of regulatory B and T cells.
B Lymphocytes Correct Answers responsible for antibody-
antigen response.
Basophils Correct Answers Bags of granules that contain
histamine
Both sodium and glucose Correct Answers attract water.
Calcium Correct Answers 99% of this is located in bones and
teeth.Necessary for structure of bones and teeth, blood clotting,
hormone secretion, and neuromuscular excitability.
