QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PRACTICE
SOLUTION
⩥ hypoxia.
Answer: reduced oxygen in tissues
⩥ gangrene.
Answer: death of tissue caused by loss of blood supply followed by
bacterial invasion
⩥ An older adult has been living with chronic, untreated high blood
pressure (hypertension) and arthritis for the past 15 years. What is the
most likely type of cellular adaptation in the client's heart muscle?.
Answer: Hypertrophy
⩥ Which factor most likely contributed to the cardiac hypertrophy?.
Answer: Blood pressure
⩥ Which method will most accurately diagnose cellular adaptation, such
as hypertrophy?.
,Answer: microscopy
⩥ A young adult who wants to prevent cellular changes that cause
disease should make which changes in their lifestyle choices?.
Answer: eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, stay current with
immunizations, and exercise regularly
⩥ Cellular adaptation.
Answer: refers to the protective mechanism allowing cells to change in
response to internal and external environmental threats
⩥ cancer.
Answer: uncontrollable cell growth and abnormal cell proliferation
⩥ What causes the progressive reduction of function in the organ
effected by cancer?.
Answer: loss of normal cells, growth of the tumor (restricting blood
vessels), and presence of inflammation
⩥ testing for cancer.
Answer: laboratory tests- measure substances in the body associated
with cancer (urine, blood, sputum, tissue samples)
imaging tests- screening purposes; can show a tumor before symptoms
appear
, ⩥ benign.
Answer: rapidly reproducing differentiated cells that cause tissue
damage; does not spread. Growth is slow, and it is localized.

Answer: undifferentiated, nonfunctional cells; spreads to other areas in
the body. Rapid growth, frequently systematic. Danger to life.
⩥ metastasis.
Answer: spread of cancerous cells; travel through blood or lymph
⩥ staging.
Answer: determines the size (T), location (N), and spread (M)
T: tumor
N: nodes
M: metastasis
