Which of the following is not a Combustion -
cellular function? All living cells must absorb and metabolize
sources of energy, excrete waste and by-
products of those processes, and reproduce to
continue offspring. Pyrotechnic processes (i.e.
combustion) are generally metaphorical.
What are mitochondria responsible Energy production -
for? Mitochondria are the energy production
organelles of the cell responsible for the major
metabolic processes of creating units of energy
(e.g., ATP).
Which if the following can cause Increased lymphatic pressure -
edema? Decreased vascular and lymphatic pressure does
not generally result in the movement and
accumulation of fluid into extravascular spaces.
Increased plasma pressure in the vascular results
in hypertension, while increased lymphatic
pressure will readily result in the pooling of
lymphatic drainage into third spaces (i.e. edema).
,Which of the following best Two diploid cells, called daughter cells, are
describes the result of cellular produced -
reproduction? The resultant offspring of cellular reproduction is
the creation of two daughter cells after the
completion of mitosis or meiosis. Interphase is
the longest period that a cell spends its life cycle
and is the preparatory stage before cellular
reproduction. Anaphase is the separation of
genetic materials to the opposing centromeres
of the cell, followed by telophase.
What indicates hypokalemia? Serum K decreases to less than 3.5 -
Normal serum potassium (K), also known as
eukalemia, is generally 3.5-5.5 mEq/L, with some
variations of +/- 0.1-0.3 mEq/L depending on the
laboratory testing, age, and other potential
patient-specific conditions and variations.
Alterations in fluid volume or the administration
of a supplement alone do not necessarily
contribute to the development of hypokalemia.
What is an example of both Uterine enlargement due to pregnancy -
hyperplasia and 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.
, What regulates the sodium Aldosterone -
balance? Aldosterone is a regulatory hormone produced
by the adrenal glands to affect the kidneys'
regulation of sodium, potassium, and water
excretion.
What is the alteration if the Hypotonic -
extracellular fluid volume is less In hypotonic states, the cell size is increased as a
than normal? result of water moving from the extracellular fluid
(ECF) into the cell to increase intracellular fluid.
Iso- or normotonic states are a balanced state
between intra- and extracellular fluid volumes.
Hypertonic states cause water to shift out of the
cell to increase the ECF above normal.
When in excess, what do buffers Hydrogen -
absorb? Excesses of acid or base, H+ or hydroxyl ion
(OH−), are absorbed for the purpose of
maintaining pH homeostasis (pH of 7.38-7.42)
Which of the following would a pH below 7.35; Bicarbonate level below 22
patient with metabolic acidosis mEq/L -
have? The diagnosis of metabolic acidosis requires that
the testing of arterial blood finds that the pH is
less than 7.35 and the bicarbonate level is less
than 22 mEq/L.
What is the process by which RNA Translation -
directs the synthesis of Translation refers to this process. Transcription is
polypeptides? another process in which RNA is synthesized.
Mutation means genetic material has been
modified through inheritance. Creation is a term
that does not apply in this context.
