Question 1: _____ is defined as a relatively constant, stable state of equilibrium
maintained between the various interdependent elements of a living organism.
Answer: ✔️✔️ Homeostasis
Question 2: Which statement provides the most comprehensive and inclusive
definition of a risk factor? A) Harmful pollutants present in the surrounding
environment B) A specific genetic mutation that negatively impacts long-term
health C) Any attribute, characteristic, or exposure that increases an individual's
likelihood of developing a disease or condition D) Modifiable behavioral choices
an individual makes regarding their lifestyle
Answer: ✔️✔️ C) Any attribute, characteristic, or exposure that increases an
individual's likelihood of developing a disease or condition
Question 3: _______ refer to the objective and subjective signals indicating that
an organism's internal homeostasis has been disrupted.
Answer: ✔️✔️ Clinical manifestations
Question 4: Physiological factors such as acid-base status, systemic oxygenation,
fluid status, and genetic mutations are classified as which type of clinical cue?
Answer: ✔️✔️ Internal environmental cues
Question 5: What clinical benefits are achieved by asking targeted questions when
a patient presents with signs of disrupted homeostasis? (Select all that apply)
Diagnostic evidence is located.
Baseline and objective data are collected.

Question 6: Diagnostic laboratory tests performed on blood and other bodily fluids
(such as urine) are primarily used to evaluate the _____ of a specific component or
marker.
Answer: ✔️✔️ Amount or concentration of a substance present
Question 7: Histological and cytological examinations performed on tissue
biopsies or bodily secretions are used to detect the presence of cellular _____.
Answer: ✔️✔️ Abnormalities
A relative calls and tells you they are not feeling well. They have a fever, sore
throat, body aches, and a cough with thick sputum.
Based on the cues, which specific body system is involved in the relative's illness?
Select all that apply.
Renal
Sensory
Endocrine
Integumentary
Pulmonary
Pulmonary
, *In this case, symptoms are occurring in a specific location (both the sore throat
and cough with sputum are part of the pulmonary system). The relative is also
showing cues that are not specific to one body system (fever and body aches).
The pathophysiological processes involved are immunity, infection, inflammation,
and pain.
A young adult stepped on a rusty nail last evening. After removing the nail and
cleaning the wound, they applied a bandage and went to sleep. This morning the
skin around the bandage is red, warm, painful, and oozing a thick, yellow drainage.
Based on the cues, which specific body system is most directly involved?
Neurologic
Cardiovascular
Genitourinary
Musculoskeletal
Musculoskeletal
The study of Genomes:
Genomics
This term represents all of your DNA
Genome
What is the main purpose of the Human Genome Project?
Manipulate the sequence of DNA in microorganisms and animals.
Map the nucleotide sequence and identify the genes on each human chromosome.
Study the common patterns of inheritance of single-gene disorders.
Identify spontaneous alterations in genetic material caused by teratogens.
Map the nucleotide sequence and identify the genes on each human chromosome.
Sickle cell anemia is which type of disorder?
Autosomal-recessive
X-linked dominant
Nutritional
Chromosomal
