BSNC 1000 FINAL EXAM MODULE 7-10
20 - correct answer-Fatty streaks are present in the aorta and coronary arteries before the
age of ___
ACTH - correct answer-Hormone released by the anterior pituitary to stimulate the release of
aldosterone and cortisol from the adrenal cortex
Acute inflammation - correct answer-Early or almost immediate reaction of local tissues and
blood vessels to injury
Acute stress - correct answer-Most common type of stress that usually occurs in reaction to
a real or perceived demand, threat, or pressure
ADH - correct answer-Hormone released by the posterior pituitary that results in increased
water retention
Age - correct answer-Strongest risk factor for vascular dementia
Alarm - correct answer--First stage of general adaptation syndrome
-Stage of general adaptation syndrome which is the immediate neuroendocrine response
(fight-or-flight, release of cortisol) to a stressor
-Stage of general adaptation syndrome in which resources are mobilized
Alcohol - correct answer-Substance that harms the gastric mucosa, the liver, and the
developing fetus
Aldosterone - correct answer-Hormone released by the adrenal cortex that results in
increased sodium and water retention
Alzheimer's disease - correct answer-Most common type of dementia
- Dementia characterized by loss of short-term memory and denial of any memory loss
Atheroma - correct answer-Thickened lesions in arterial walls that occur with accumulation of
scar tissue and cholesterol deposits
- Advanced lesions which develop slowly and can result from persistent injury, lipid
infiltration, and inflammation
Atherosclerosis - correct answer-Leading cause of coronary artery disease, stroke, and
peripheral artery disease
- Condition of lipid plaques forming on the inside walls of arteries
Attention - correct answer-Ability to focus on a particular area of conscious content
Avoidance of cigarette smoke is a method of controlling atherosclerosis as it reduces risk of
___ ___ - correct answer-Endothelial injury
, Avoidance of substance abuse is an example of ___ prevention of cognitive disorders -
correct answer-Primary
Awareness - correct answer-Ability to perceive or to be sensitive to stimuli in environment
Behavioural - correct answer-Type of stress which can be managed by methods such as
health education, smoking cessation, and counselling
Biofeedback - correct answer-Stress management strategy which controls autonomic
nervous system responses using an awareness of one's physiological state
C-reactive protein - correct answer-Acute-phase protein synthesized by the liver which binds
to the surface of invading microorganisms and targets them for destruction by complement
and phagocytosis
Calgary Family Assessment Model - correct answer-Assessment tool which incorporates
questions about developmental assessment, functional assessment, and structural
assessment
Cerebral cortex - correct answer-Part of the brain that is responsible for carrying out
intellectual functions
Challenge - correct answer-Stressor that requires new ordinary resources that are currently
available or can be easily accessed
Chemotaxis - correct answer-Complex process that attracts WBCs to an area of
inflammation
-Process in which WBCs move towards a higher concentration of chemotactic factors
- Third step of the cellular stage of inflammation
Chronic stress - correct answer-Stress associated with a perpetual or sustained demand,
threat, or pressure
-Stress which is harmful to an individual's health and wears on them constantly
Cognition - correct answer-Mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.
Confusion - correct answer-Disturbance of consciousness, impaired ability to think clearly, to
perceive, respond to, and remember current stimuli
Controlling blood glucose is a method of controlling atherosclerosis as it reduces risk of ___
___ - correct answer-Endothelial injury
Controlling blood pressure is a method of controlling atherosclerosis as it reduces risk of
____ ___ - correct answer-Endothelial injury
