NR 283 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS); A GRADE
1st line of defense - correct answer- Barriers: Skin,
Mucous Membranes, Gastric juices, Normal Flora, and Cilia
2nd line of defense - correct answer- Inflammation and
Phagocytosis
3rd line of defense - correct answer- B-Cells and T-Cells
Active artificial immunity - correct answer-
immunizations
Active Immunity - correct answer- activates the immune
system
Active natural immunity - correct answer- natural
exposure to antigen
, Apoptosis - correct answer- Programmed cell death,
normal occurrence in the body
Atrophy - correct answer- Decrease in the size of the
cells, results in reduced tissue mass
Autosomal Dominant Disorders - correct answer- Only
takes one gene for disease to show. There are no carriers, either
have disease or don't. Marfan Syndrome, Huntington's, Familial
Hypercholesterolemia
Autosomal Recessive Disorders - correct answer- Has to
have two recessive genes to have disease, only one recessive
gene to be carrier ex: Cystic fibrosis, PKU (phenylketonuria), Tay-
Sachs
B-Cells - correct answer- Responsible for production of
antibodies, can clone themselves to tag antigens, can become
memory B-cells to remember antigen(pathogen)
Blood pH - correct answer- 7.35-7.45
