NURS 2003 Midterm
active transport - correct answer-ATP is the energy source that moves molecules, reverses
diffusion, mov across the concentration gradient
acute coronary syndrome - correct answer-when ischemia to the myocardium is prolonged
and cannot be reversed by decreasing oxygen demand or increasing oxygen supply
afterload - correct answer-amount of resistance the blood with meet when it is being pumped
out of the ventricle
alarm reaction phase - correct answer-catecholamines are released which results in
increase sympathetic nervous system activity
aldosterone - correct answer-mineralocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex that increases
the reabsorption of water and sodium
angina - correct answer-chest pain
anginal pain - correct answer-occurs when the myocardium demands more oxygen and
nutrients then the coronary arteries are able to supply
anion - correct answer-negatively charged ion
atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) - correct answer-hormone released by the atria of the heart
when there is an increase in the amount of pressure within it, acts to increase
urianryexcretion and vasodilation
attitude - correct answer-how we look at situations
blood pressure - correct answer-heart rate x stroke volume
cation - correct answer-positively charged ion
chemotaxis - correct answer-directional gradient which directs white blood cells to the site of
injury
CK-MB - correct answer-begins in 3-12 hours, peaks in 24 hours, returns to normal in 2-3
days
collateral circulation - correct answer-the alternate circulation around a blocked artery or vein
via another path such as nearby minor vessels
contractility - correct answer-the greater the force of stress, the greater the force of
contraction
, contracture - correct answer-surface of the joint, affect range on motion, commonly seen
after burns
coronary artery disease - correct answer-characterized by focal deposits of cholesterol and
lipids mostly on the intimal wall of the artery, affinity for coronary arteries
dehiscence - correct answer-opening of a scare, commonly found on the abdomen due to
lots of pressure
diapedesis - correct answer-the movement of white blood cells through the retraction of
endothelial cells
diffusion - correct answer-movement of molecules from high area of concentration to low
concentration until the solutes are equal
emotion focused coping - correct answer-getting the emotions out (walking, talking)
facilitated diffusion - correct answer-use of a protein carrier (ex: insulin) to move from an
area of high concentration to low
fever - correct answer-release of cytokines which go up to the hypothalamus and cause
prostoglandin E2 to be released which sets a new thermostatic set point
folkman and lazarus - correct answer-stress occurs when individuals perceive that they
cannot adequately cope with the demands being made on them, stress as a transaction
granulation phase (week 1-6) - correct answer-granulation tissues made up of fibroblasts
(immature connective tissue cells) that secrete collagen and angioblasts (new blood vessels,
allows the wound to close
hardiness - correct answer-they way that a person deal with stress (control, commitment)
and ability to endure difficult conditions
heart failure - correct answer-a clinical syndrome, impaired ability of the heart to fill or pump
with blood
heart failure with preserved ejection fracture - correct answer-inability of the ventricles to
relax enough so that they can fill with blood
heart failure with reduced systolic ejection fraction - correct answer-inability of the heart to
pump blood effectively, left ventricle looses its ability to generate enough pressure to eject
blood forward through the aorta
hydrostatic pressure - correct answer-pushing pressure
hyperaemia - correct answer-increase in blood volume
active transport - correct answer-ATP is the energy source that moves molecules, reverses
diffusion, mov across the concentration gradient
