NSG 5003 EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS 2026
▶ 6 Functions of Plasma Membrane. Answer: 1) recognition & binding
units (receptors) for substances moving in& out of cell, 2) ores or transport
channels, 3) enzymes drive active pumps, 4) surface markers (ie.
glycoproteins), 5) adhesion molecules, 6) catalyst of chemical reactions
▶ Cells Held Together By 3 Means. Answer: extracellular membrane, cell
adhesion molecules in plasma membrane, special cell junctions
▶ Extracellular Matrix. Answer: 3 protein fibers: 1) collagen, 2) elastin, 3)
fibronectin; matrix regulates cell growth & differentiation
▶ 4 Categories of Endocytosis. Answer: 1) clathrin-mediated, 2) caveolae-
mediated, 3) macropinocytosis, 4) phagocytosis
▶ Cell Cycle Phases. Answer: 1) S, 2) G2, 3) M, 4) G1
▶ Connective Tissue. Answer: binds various tissues & organs, fewer cells
surrounded by a lot of extracellular matrix
▶ Muscle Tissue. Answer: compose of long, thin contracting cells or fibers
(myocytes)
▶ Neural Tissue. Answer: composed of special cells (neurons) that receive
& transmit electrical impulses rapidly across junctions (synapses)
▶ Initial Insult in Chemical Injury. Answer: damage to or destruction of
plasma membrane
▶ Activation of Inflammation/Immune Response. Answer: after cell injury
or infection; involves powerful biomechanisms & proteins capable of
damaging normal cells
