NUR 2063 Essential of Pathophysiology Already
Passed
1). Symptoms
Ans: Subjective characteristics of disease felt only by the patient
2). Sign
Ans: If the doctor, nurse, or anyone notice evidence of disease such as a fever
3). Homeostasis
Ans: A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any
aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level
4). Epinephrine is released during a stress response true or false
Ans: True; Aka Adrenaline
5). Function of mitochondria
Ans: powerhouse of the cell, ATP production, and Production of the cell energy.
6). The effective of the raas system -
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Ans: is essential for long-term blood pressure regulation. It involves a complex system
of hormones, proteins and enzymes.
7). Vasodilation
Ans: A widening and increase of the diameter of a blood vessel.
8). Vasoconstriction
PaperStoc.com Page 1 of 15
, Ans: Reduces blood flow and heat transfer by decreasing the diameter of superficial
blood vessels.
9). Hyperplasia
Ans: the enlargement of an organ or tissue because of an abnormal increase in the
number of cells in the tissues.
10). Apply the concept of homeostasis
Ans: 1.Stimulus produce change in variable (body temperature falls), 2.Receptor detect
change (detected by thermoreceptors in skin), 3.Information sent along Afferent pathway
to control center, 4. Control centre process message (in the thermoregulatory centre in
brain).
11). Endoplasmic reticulum
Ans: an internal membrane system in which components of cell membrane and some
proteins are constructed. (Smooth & Rough ER)
12). Function of hormone renin
Ans: Renin is an enzyme that helps control your blood pressure and maintain healthy
levels of sodium and potassium in your body. (When blood volume or sodium levels in the
body are low, or blood potassium is high, cells in the kidney release the enzyme, renin.
Renin converts angiotensinogen, which is produced in the liver, to the hormone
angiotensin I.)
13). Hydrostatic pressure capillaries
Ans: The pressure that blood exerts in the capillaries is known as blood pressure. The
force of hydrostatic pressure means that as blood moves along the capillary, fluid moves
out through its pores and into the interstitial space.
14). Increased hydrostatic capillary action causes edema (t/f)
Ans: (True) Edema- Is swelling or excessive fluid.
include high venous pressure (e.g., heart failure, venous blockage) or excessive fluid and
sodium retention (e.g, acute renal failure).
What body functions cause fluid volume deficits?
