MODULE 1 –10
A bodybuilder's muscles will display hyperplasia. -
⚫False
Barrett esophagus
is an example of dysplasia -
⚫false
hypertrophy is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in
the number of cells -
⚫True
Lack of nerve stimulation can cause cells to atrophy -
⚫True
proportion of people with a disease who are positive for the disease -
⚫sensitivity
how likely the same result will occur if repeated -
⚫reliability
how a tool measures what it is intended to measure -
⚫validity
people without the disease who are negative on a given test -
⚫specificity
Which is NOT true of the cytoskeleton? -
⚫it includes peroxisomes and proteasomes
Which of the following are true of the cell? Select all that apply. -
⚫1: Proteins carry out the functions of the cell membrane
2:Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell
3:Microfilaments are thin, threadlike cytoplasmic structures
Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply. -
⚫1: Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within
2:Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells
3: Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
Which are false of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. -
⚫1: They are found far from the site of energy consumption.
2:They control free radicals.
,High blood pressure is an example of which of the following? -
⚫pathophysiology
A patient complains of chest pain and an elevated blood pressure. What are these
examples of? -
⚫signs and symptoms
Which of the following is true of a test's sensitivity? -
⚫If negative, it can safely be assumed that the person does not have a disease
Chemical agents (poison, alcohol) are examples of which of the following? -
⚫Etiologic factors
Define tertiary prevention and give an example: -
⚫Tertiary prevention occurs after a disease has been diagnosed and clinical
intervention is needed to reduce complications or deterioration. One example is the
use of certain medications one must take after a heart attack to help reduce the risk
of a future event or death.
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. -
⚫In dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles,
and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It
results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In
wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist,
black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul
odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid.
Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one type of
necrosis. -
⚫necrosis is cell death to an organ or tissue with still being apart of a living person.
An example of this would be luiquefactive necrosis. this is when the cells die and the
catalytic enzymes do not get destroyed after the cells death. This could cause
necrosis
sunburn -
⚫radiation injury
obesity -
⚫nutritional imbalances
reactive oxygen species -
⚫free radical injury
low oxygen to tissues -
⚫hypoxic cell injury
fractures -
⚫physical agents
, OTC drugs -
⚫Chemical injury
hypothermia -
⚫physical agents
radiation treatment -
⚫radiation injury
lead toxicity -
⚫chemical injury
bacteria -
⚫biologic agents
List the 4 types of tissue found in the body. Pick 2 and give a description and
example of each. -
⚫Epithelial tissue- covers the body's outer surface, it is avascular and gets its o2
from the capillaries found in the neighboring connective tissues, and example of this
is simple squamous tissue which means one layer of thin cells.
Muscular tissue
Nervous tissue- is found all throughout the body, helps with communication between
tissues and the central nervous system. it aids in the functions of the body due to
internal and external stimuli, helps with movement, and electrical signaling. neurons
are an example of this, they aid in communicating to other cells in the body, they are
held and supported by glial cells.
Connective tissue
What term means "cell eating" and engulfs and then kills microorganisms or other
particulate matter? -
⚫Phagocytosis
What is the term to describe when cells use energy to move ions against an
electrical or chemical gradient? -
⚫Active transport
Give one function of a membrane potential: -
⚫Generate nerve impulse, muscle contractions, or cause hormone secretion
What is the term that best describes the following process?
A transport protein aiding a lipid insoluble or large molecule across the cell
membrane that would otherwise not be able to pass through on its own. -
⚫facilitated diffusion
Blood tests for tumor markers can make a diagnosis of cancer. Why or why not? -
⚫False, only tissue can diagnose. Tumor markers are helpful to assess response to
therapy or reoccurrence.
Tissue biopsy is of critical importance in what role? -
⚫Diagnosing the correct cancer and histology.
