NSG 5003 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
(SOUTH UNIVERSITY) EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
(100% CORRECT ANSWERS /ALREADY
GRADED A+
Differentiation - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- (maturation) process in which cells
become specialized in structure and function
The eight specialized cellular functions are - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- movement,
conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction,
communication
Eukaryotic cells - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- Contain a nucleus and other organelles
that are bound by membranes.
The eukaryotic cell consists of three general components - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔-
plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and intracellular organelles
Nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and
responsible for growth and reproduction
Vaults - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- cytoplasmic organelles that are carrying
messengers of ribonucleic acid (mRNA) from the nucleus to the ribosomal sites of
protein synthesis
, plasma membrane (cell membrane) - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- It's function is to
protect the cell and control what goes in and out. It is not a solid structure. It is
made of millions of smaller molecules so it is flexible and porous (allows things to
pass through it).
cellular receptors - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- protein molecules on the plasma
membrane, in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus that can recognize and bind with
specific smaller molecules called ligands
Ligands - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- A molecule that binds specifically to a receptor
site of another molecule.
Cells are held together by three different means: - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- (1) the
extracellular membrane, (2) cell adhesion molecules in the cell's plasma
membrane, and (3) specialized cell junctions.
Cells communicate in three main ways - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- (1) they form
protein channels (gap junctions); (2)
they display receptors that affect intracellular processes or other cells in direct
physical
contact; and (3) they use receptor proteins inside the target cell.
reception - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- The target cell's detection of a signal molecule
coming from outside the cell.
