100% Correct!!
function of mitochondria
- Answer ATP production/cellular respiration, powerhouse of the cell
Rough ER - Answer That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes.
Smooth ER- Answer That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes.
Homeostasis- Answer A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation
of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level
Hypertrophy- Answer increase in muscle/tissue size, excessive development
atrophy- Answer the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any progressive decline or failure; to
waste away
Ischemia- Answer an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the heart
muscles.
S/S of Objective Data- Answer Any observations made by using your senses (pts. blood pressure,
physical findings, and lab values)
S/S of Subjective Data
- Answer Any symptoms pt. complains of, what the pt. feels (pain)
Epinephrine- Answer Neurotransmitter secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress. Also
known as adrenaline.
Renin - Answer hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood pressure by influencing
vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels)
What causes edema? - Answer-reduced concentration of plasma proteins
-increased permeability of capillary wall
-increased venous pressure
-blockage of lymph vessels
Signs and symptoms of fluid excess
- Answer edema, dysnpea (trouble breathing), hyptertension
(high bp), JVD, pulse increase and bounding, weight increase
Signs and symptoms of dehydration - Answer Dry mucous membranes, decreased skin turgor, Low
BP, Low pulse, fatigue, Increased HCT, decreased mental function, confusion, and loss of
consciousness

100% Correct!!
S/S of hypocalcemia- Answer- muscle twitches/tetany
- hyperactive DTRs
- positive Chvostek's sign (tapping on the facial nerve triggering facial twitching)
- positive Trousseau's sign (hand/finger spasms with sustained blood pressure cuff inflation)
- seizures
Osmosis- Answer Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Diffusion - Answer Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower concentration.
active transport- Answer Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane
against a concentration difference
Effect of hypertonic solution
- Answer cell shrinks and can die
effect of a hypotonic solution
- Answer cell swells and can burst
active immunity- Answer A form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its own
antibodies against disease
-causing antigens.
passive immunity- Answer An individual does not produce his or her own antibodies, but rather
receives them directly from another source, such as mother to infant through breast milk
Examples of active immunity
- Answer natural infection, vaccines,
Examples of passive immunity
- Answer IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing placenta,
antitoxin, humanized monoclonal antibody
acquired immunity- Answer Immunity that is present only after exposure and is highly specific.
examples of acquired immunity
- Answer 1) having the infection 2) vaccination
innate immunity- Answer Immunity that is present before exposure and effective from birth.
Responds to a broad range of pathogens.
Examples of innate immunity
- Answer skin, hair, cilia, mucus membranes, digestive enzymes,
stomach acidity, inflammatory response, fever, inflammation
5 P's of compartment syndrome
- Answer pain, pallor, pulselessness, paralysis, paresthesia
