1. Which of the following is not a cellular function?
Reproduction
Combustion
Absorption
Excretion: combustion
2. Which if the following can cause edema?
Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure
Increased lymphatic pressure
Increased plasma pressure
Decreased capillary permeability: Increased lymphatic pressure
3. Which of the following best describes the result of cellular reproduction?
During anaphase, the centromeres come together.
During telophase, a nuclear membrane is formed around 23 chromosomes.
Two diploid cells, called daughter cells, are produced.
Cellular reproduction has a long interphase.: Two diploid cells, called daughter
cells, are produced.
4. What is an example of both hyperplasia and hypertrophy?
Liver enlargement after partial removal
Uterine enlargement due to pregnancy
Cardiac enlargement due to hypertension
Muscle enlargement due to work: Uterine enlargement due to pregnancy
5. deifine hyperplasia & hypertrophy: Hyperplasia is the increase in the number
of cells of an organ or tissue, while hypertrophy is the enlargement of the cells of
a given organ or tissue without a change in the number of cells. Muscle cells grow
and enlarge (hypertrophy) in response to increased work or stress from exercise or
increased cardiovascular pressures. When a liver is damaged or part of it is removed,
it is the one internal solid organ capable of regeneration to repair itself creating more
cells (hyperplasia). During pregnancy, the uterus must both grow to create more
cells and enlarge those existing cells in preparation for the support of a fetus.

6. What regulates the sodium balance?
Chloride
,Aldosterone
Renin
Potassium: aldosterone
7. When in excess, what do buffers absorb?
Oxygen
Hydrogen
, Potassium
Bicarbonate: Hydrogen; Think Chem!. H+ is acid
8. describe translation and transcription: Translation refers to this process. Tran-
scription is another process in which RNA is synthesized
9. What is the recurrence rate for autosomal dominant disease?: 50% for a
couple in which one or both partners are affected by the disease, the chance of
each child being heterozygous affected is 50%.
10. Which of the following statements is true about autosomal recessive dis-
ease?
It affects only women.
It affects both men and women equally.
It affects men and women, but men more often.
It affects men only.: men and women equal
11. What is the proportion of the population affected by a disease at the
specific point in time?
Relative risk
Incidence rate
At-risk rate
Prevalence rate: prevalence
Incidence rate refers to how many new cases there are of a disease within a period
of time divided by the number of the population's individuals. The prevalence rate is
affected by the incidence rate and how long the affected patients survive. Risk factor
is anything that could lead to disease. Relative risk is the measure of a risk factor
effect.

12. Which action is the purpose of the inflammatory: To destroy foreign, invasive
microorganisms
13. What causes edema that occurs during the inflammatory process?: In-
creased pressure in the vasculature secondary to the vasodilatory effects of inflam-
mation will result in the leakage of fluid into third spaces (i.e., edema).
14. In what structure do B lymphocytes mature and become B cells?: BONE
MARROW (B for B)
The bone marrow is where immature immune cells, such as B and T lymphocytes,
reside to mature into B cells. After this maturation process, these cells migrate to
other organ sites such as the thyroid, spleen, and thymus to enter their final stages
of differentiation and development.
15. Which type of immunity occurs when antibodies are transferred from
donor to recipient?: passive acquired immunity
Reproduction
Combustion
Absorption
Excretion: combustion
