PATHOPHYSIOLOGY QUIZ 1
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | EXAM-READY STUDY
GUIDE (2026 UPDATED)
Prepare for success with this Pathophysiology Quiz 1 Ch. 4-7, Genetics and Cell Biology
study guide featuring high-yield questions, verified answers, and detailed
explanations covering essential disease processes and core nursing concepts for
exams and coursework.
# QUESTION: ANSWER:
1 pathophysiology breakdown or disorder of the human body’s
function
2 pathogenesis development of disease
etiologic agent (cause) -> manifestation
(result, what you see)
3 epidemiology study of disease trends in a population
4 top 3 diseases 1997 heart disease, cancer, stroke
5 how does RNA leave nuclear membrane? pores
6 Mitotic Phase divide nuclear material
prophase, metaphase, anaphase,
telophase.
7 cytokinesis division of cytoplasm
8 nucleotide components 1 phosphate, 1 sugar, 1 base
9 anuclear cell erythrocytes
10 multinucleate cells placental, skeletal muscle
, 11 RNA synthesis happens here nucleolus
12 DNA sugar, structure deoxyribo sugar, double stranded structure
13 RNA - sugar, structure ribo sugar, single stranded
14 histones DNA coils around these to prevent breakage
and compact space
15 purines adenine, guanine
16 pyrimidines cytosine, thymine
17 Interphase chromaTIN in loose arrangment
18 Mitosis chromosomes
19 Ribosomes complex of RNA and protrein
provides sites for protein synthesis
can be attached to ER or free
20 endoplasmic reticulum network of tubular channels
rough ER - has ribosomes
smooth ER - no ribosomes (sarcoplasmic
reticulum in muscle) calcium storage, filter,
steroid hormones
21 Golgi complex flattened vesicles
receives packages proteins from rough ER,
modifies, labels, sends to destination
22 Golgi protein protein from Golgi can become part of
plasma membrane or be released from cell
by exocytosis. proteins that stay inside the
cell are synthesized on free ribosomes
