NURS 2063 Practice Exam Questions
with Answers
Pathophysiology - ✔✔The study of how normal physiologic processes are affected by disease.
genetic disease - ✔✔Due to abnormalities in genetic makeup
Developmental Disease - ✔✔Diseases occurring during embryonic of fetal development
Inflammatory Disease - ✔✔Trigger the inflamm
Degenerative Disease - ✔✔Causes part of the body to degenerate EX: Arthritis
Metabolic Disease - ✔✔affects the metabolism EX: Diabetes Mellitus
Neoplastic Disease - ✔✔Due to uncontrollable cellular growth; leads to benign and malignant
TUMOR growth
Etiology - ✔✔cause of disease
idiopathic - ✔✔unknown cause
iatrogenic - ✔✔produced by treatment ; Unintended
Differentiation - ✔✔process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
, Nucleus - ✔✔Control center of the cell
selectively permeable - ✔✔some substances can pass across them and others cannot
Homeostasis - ✔✔Call maintains state of internal balance
______ , ________ , and ________ have free passage in and out of the cell - ✔✔Enzymes,
Glucose, and electrolytes
Enzymes - ✔✔Proteins that enable chemical reactions
Glucose - ✔✔Sugar molecule that provides energy
Electrolytes - ✔✔charged conductors when dissolved in water
Diffusion - ✔✔Movement of solutes dissolved in a solvent from an area of higher concentration
to an area of lower concentration.
facilitated diffusion - ✔✔Substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower concentration with the assistance of a carrier molecule. DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY
Osmosis - ✔✔passive movement of water/solvent across the cellular membrane from an area
of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
proliferation - ✔✔Regulated process by which cells divide and reproduce.
Mitosis - ✔✔The division of 1 cell results in 2 genetically identical and equal daughter cells EX:
Diploid Cells
