PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1 UT TYLER
2026 REAL QUESTIONS WITH EXPERTLY
VERIFIED ANSWERS.
1. This is the first step within the Sodium Potassium Pump. It is
the resting state of semipermeable membrane. - correct answer
-Polarization
2. This is the second step within the Sodium Potassium Pump.
The stimulus opens Na+ channels and Na+ moves into cell. -
correct answer -Depolarization
3. This is the third step within the Sodium Potassium Pump. As
impulses moves along membrane, Na+ close and K+ channels
open allowing K+ to move outward. - correct answer -
Repolarization
4. This is the fourth step within the Sodium Potassium Pump.
Channels close. Sodium-potassium pump returns Na+ outside
cell and K+ inside cell. - correct answer -Return to Resting
State

5. Disorders are named with this ending suffix to indicate that it is
an inflammation. - correct answer --itis
6. True or False. Inflammation is the same as an infection. -
correct answer -False
7. This first phase of the inflammatory response is known as the
vascular response. Injured MAST cells release Kinin chemical
mediators called: - correct answer -Bradykinin
8. Once Bradykinin is released to the site of injury, immediate
vasoconstriction occurs and is followed by these two steps: -
correct answer -Increased capillary permeability and
vasodilation.
9. Mast cells and platelets release these three chemical
mediators: - correct answer -Histamines, Kinins, and
Prostaglandins

10. Histamines increases these two mechanisms. - correct
answer -Capillary permeability and vasodilation
11. Kinins, such as bradykinin, causes these three localized
mechanisms. - correct answer -Vasodilation, pain, and
chemotaxis
12. Prostaglandins cause these five mechanisms during the
vascular response, or phase one, or the inflammatory
response. - correct answer -Vasodilation, pain, fever, potentiate
histamine, platelet production
13. This second phase of the inflammatory response is known
as the cellular response. Chemotactic factors are released by
damaged cells which stimulate and attract Leukocytes. This is
known as: - correct answer -Chemotaxis
14. After Leukocytes arrive at the injured site, then two other
cells arrive at the scene. Which two are they? - correct answer
-Neutrophils and macrophages
