BIO 322 GCU MIDTERM FINAL
EVALUATION 2026 TESTED QUESTIONS
GRADED A+
⩥ Atrophy.
Answer: decrease in cell size
⩥ Hypertrophy.
Answer: increase in cell size
⩥ Hyperplasia.
Answer: increase in cell number
⩥ Metaplasia.
Answer: reversible replacement of 1 cell type by another (like smokers)
⩥ Dysplasia.
Answer: abnormal changes in size, shape & organization of matured cell
⩥ Necrosis.
Answer: evoked by non-physical events (disease)
, -Coagulative: denature of proteins from gel to firm state (kidneys)
-Liquefactive: cells digested by own hydrolases- tissue becomes soft,
walled off from healthy tissue (neurons/glial cells in brain)
-Caseous (cheese-like): cells disintegrate & debris is walled off
-Fat: caused by lipases (breast, pancreas, abdominal)
-Gangrenous: dry (loss of O2 over long period of time) wet (bacteria &
fast) gas (anaerobic bacteria trapped, produce gas, often fatal)
⩥ Apoptosis.
Answer: programmed cell death, energy dependent, affects individual
cell
⩥ Hyperkalemia.
Answer: S/S: widened QRS and tall T wave
⩥ Hypokalemia.
Answer: S/S: shallow T wave
⩥ Hyponatremia.
Answer: S/S: Lethargy, HA, weakness, confusion
Cause: decreased Na in diet, prolonged sweating w/ H2O intake
⩥ Hypernatremia.
