1. ATP production/cellular respiration, powerhouse of the cell: function of mitochondria
2. That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes.: Rough ER
3. That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes.: Smooth
ER
4. A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation
of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular
level: Homeostasis
5. increase in muscle/tissue size, excessive development: Hypertrophy
6. the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any progressive decline or
failure; to waste away: atrophy
7. an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the
heart muscles.: Ischemia
8. Any observations made by using your senses (pts. blood pressure, physical
findings, and lab values): S/S of Objective Data
9. Any symptoms pt. complains of, what the pt. feels (pain): S/S of Subjective Data
10. Neurotransmitter secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress.
Also known as adrenaline.: Epinephrine
11. hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood pressure by influencing
vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels): Renin
12. -reduced concentration of plasma proteins
-increased permeability of capillary wall
-increased venous pressure
-blockage of lymph vessels: What causes edema?
13. edema, dysnpea (trouble breathing), hyptertension (high bp), JVD, pulse
increase and bounding, weight increase: Signs and symptoms of fluid excess
14. Dry mucous membranes, decreased skin turgor, Low BP, Low pulse, fatigue,
Increased HCT, decreased mental function, confusion, and loss of conscious-
ness: Signs and symptoms of dehydration
15. - muscle twitches/tetany
- hyperactive DTRs
- positive Chvostek's sign (tapping on the facial nerve triggering facial twitch-

cuff inflation)
- seizures: S/S of hypocalcemia
16. Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane: Osmosis
17. Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower concentration.: Diffusion
18. Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane
against a concentration difference: active transport
19. cell shrinks and can die: Effect of hypertonic solution
20. cell swells and can burst: effect of a hypotonic solution
21. A form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its own antibodies
against disease-causing antigens.: active immunity
22. An individual does not produce his or her own antibodies, but rather re-
ceives them directly from another source, such as mother to infant through
breast milk: passive immunity
23. natural infection, vaccines,: Examples of active immunity
24. IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing placenta, antitoxin, humanized
monoclonal antibody: Examples of passive immunity
25. Immunity that is present only after exposure and is highly specific.: acquired
immunity
26. 1) having the infection 2) vaccination: examples of acquired immunity
27. Immunity that is present before exposure and effective from birth. Re-
sponds to a broad range of pathogens.: innate immunity
28. skin, hair, cilia, mucus membranes, digestive enzymes, stomach acidity,
inflammatory response, fever, inflammation: Examples of innate immunity
29. pain, pallor, pulselessness, paralysis, paresthesia: 5 P's of compartment syndrome
30. severe pain or burning sensation
decreased strength in the extremity
paralysis of the extremity
pain with movement

it is extremely important to transport the patient since he may lose the limb if
compartment syndrome is not treated quickly and effectively: Signs and symptoms
of compartment syndrome
