Chapter 1Introduction to Pathophysiology
l l l




1. The nucleus l , which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
l l l l l l l l l l



A) is the site of protein synthesis
l l l l l



B) contains the genetic code l l l



C) transforms cellular energy l l



D) initiates aerobic metabolism l l



2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power
l l l l l l l l l l l l


plants of the cell because they:
l l l l l l



A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.
l l l l



B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
l l l l



C) extract energy from organic compounds.
l l l l



D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
l l l l l



3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:
l l l l l l l l l l l



A) bound and transmembrane proteins.
l l l



B) complex, long carbohydrate chains. l l l



C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.
l l l l



D) a gating system of selective ion channels.
l l l l l l



4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication utilizes chemical
l l l l l l l


messenger systems that:
l l l



A) displace surface receptor proteins. l l l



B) accumulate within cell gap junctions. l l l l



C) bind to contractile microfilaments.
l l l



D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.
l l l l



5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy by:
l l l l l l l l l

,A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP. l l l l l



B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water. l l l l l l



C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm. l l l l l



D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.
l l l l l l



6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in
l l l l l l l into thel


extracellular fluid.
l l



A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport
l l l l l l l



B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms
l l l l l



C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances
l l l l l l



D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion l l l l l l l



7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials is:
l l l l l l l l l



A) diffusion of current-carrying ions. l l l



B) millivoltage of electrical potential. l l l



C) polarization of charged particles. l l l



D) ion channel neurotransmission.

8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the
l l l l l l l l l l l l


number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description
l l l l l l l l l l l l


and type of epithelial tissue?
l l l l l



A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not
l l l l l l l l l l


extend to surface
l l l



B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement
l l l l l l l l l l


membrane
l



C) Glandular epithelium: arise from surface epithelia and underlying
l l l l l l l


connective tissue
l l



D) Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; deepest layer rests on l l l l l l l l l


basement membrane
l l



9. Connective tissue contains fibroblasts that are responsible for:
l l l l l l l



A) providing a fibrous framework for capillaries. l l l l l



B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.
l l l l l l

, C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers muscles. l l l l l l l



D) filling spaces between tissues to keep organs in place.
l l l l l l l l



10. Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smooth muscle (also
l l l l l l l l l l


known as involuntary muscle) differs by:
l l l l l l



A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
l l l l l l



B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands. l l l l l l l



C) having rapid contractions and abundant cross-striations.
l l l l l



D) contracting in response to increased intracellular calcium. l l l l l l



11. Which of the following aspects of the function of the nucleus is performed by
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
l l l



A) Copying and carrying DNA instructions for protein synthesis
l l l l l l l



B) Carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis l l l l l l l l



C) Providing the site where protein synthesis occurs l l l l l l



D) Regulating and controlling protein synthesis l l l l



12. Breakdown and removal of foreign substances and worn-out cell parts are
l l l l l l l l l l


performed by which of the following organelles?
l l l l l l l



A) Lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatus l



C) Ribosomes
D) Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) l l



13. Impairment in the function of peroxisomes would result in:
l l l l l l l l



A) inadequate sites for protein synthesis. l l l l



B) an inability to transport cellular products across the cell membrane.
l l l l l l l l l



C) insufficient energy production within a cell. l l l l l



D) accumulation of free radicals in the cytoplasm. l l l l l l



14. After several months of trying to conceive, a couple is undergoing fertility
l l l l l l l l l l l


testing. Semen analysis indicates that the mans sperm have decreased motility,
l l l l l l l l l l l


a finding that is thought to underlie the couples inability to become
l l l l l l l l l l l l


pregnant.
