SOLVED QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
RESPONSES GRADED A+
⩥ Coagulative necrosis
Answer: Occurs primarily in the kidneys, heart, and adrenal glands.
Commonly results from hypoxia caused by severe ischemia or hypoxia
from chemical injury (especially ingestion of mercuric chloride)
⩥ Liquefactive necrosis
Answer: Commonly results from ischemic injury to neurons and glial
cells in the brain
⩥ What does T3N2M0 in cancer staging mean?
Answer: large, with local nodes but no evidence of metastasis
⩥ What kind of genetics does a person with cystic fibrosis have?
Answer: Autosomal recessive
⩥ Which type of cellular injury can cause Alzheimers?
Answer: Free radical/ROS
,⩥ Well differentiated vs undifferentiated cancer cells
Answer: Well-differentiated cancer cells look more like normal cells and
tend to grow and spread more slowly than poorly differentiated or
undifferentiated cancer cells.
⩥ What is the main plasma protein?
Answer: Albumin (negative charge). Buffers H+ (positive charge). Binds
calcium (about 40%).
⩥ What does a decreased plasma oncotic pressure mean?
Answer: Results from losses or diminished production of plasma
albumin. Causes fluid to move into the interstitial space, resulting in
EDEMA.
⩥ AST and ALT are related to which organ?
Answer: Liver
⩥ Valve malfunction can cause what?
Answer: Ventricular hypertrophy
⩥ Metabolic alkalosis can cause what?
Answer: Hypoglycemia
, ⩥ Osmolality
Answer: Measure of a solute concentration in a solution. Higher number
of solutes in a compartment = higher concentration and less water
⩥ Osmosis
Answer: Movement of water from low concentration to high
concentration
⩥ Osmotic pressure
Answer: Amount of pressure or force that is exerted by solute molecules
of a given compartment. PULLS water into a higher concentration.
HIGHER osmolality = HIGHER osmotic pressure
⩥ Hydrostatic pressure
Answer: Force within a fluid compartment. PUSHES fluid outside of
compartment (OPPOSES OSMOSIS).
Ex. blood pressure
⩥ Oncotic pressure
Answer: Force that KEEPS water/fluid within a compartment. PULLS.
⩥ Antidiuretic hormone
