Quiz_________________?
A patient complains of chest pain and an elevated blood pressure. What are these examples
of? -
Anawer✅
signs (high blood pressure) AND symptoms (pt complaint of chest pain)
Quiz_________________?
Define tertiary prevention and give an example: -
Anawer✅
Tertiary prevention occurs after a disease has been diagnosed and clinical intervention is
needed to reduce complications or deterioration. One example is the use of certain
medications one must take after a heart attack to help reduce the risk of a future event or
death.
Quiz_________________?
Explain apoptosis and why it is necessary: -
Anawer✅
1
, Apoptosis is programmed cell death. This process eliminates cells that are worn out, have
been produced in excess, have developed improperly, or have genetic damage. Apoptosis is
also responsible for several normal physiologic processes, like replacing cell in the intestinal
villi and removing aging red blood cells.
Quiz_________________?
Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one type of necrosis. -
Anawer✅
Necrosis refers to cell death in an organ or tissues that is still part of a living person. It often
interferes with cell replacement and tissue regeneration. Coagulative necrosis results most
often from a sudden cutoff of blood supply to an organ (ischemia), particularly the heart and
kidney. Liquefactive necrosis occurs when some of the cells die but their catalytic enzymes
are not destroyed. It is commonly seen with brain infarcts or abscesses. Caseous necrosis
occurs as part of granulomatous inflammation and is most often associated with
tuberculosis.
Gangrenous necrosis most often affects the lower extremities or bowel and is secondary to
vascular occlusion. The term gangrene is applied when a considerable mass of tissue
undergoes necrosis. In dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin
wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow.
It results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet
gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist, black, and
under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by
bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid.
Quiz_________________?
Give one function of a membrane potential: -
Anawer✅
Generate nerve impulse, muscle contractions, or cause hormone secretion
