SLCC Pathophysiology Final Exam Questions &
Answers Rated 100% Correct
Acquired Immunity types - ANSWER Naturally Acquired
Passively-mother's milk
Actively-infected with pathogen
Artificially Acquired
Passively-vaccine
Actively-Serum gamma globulin
Actinic Keratosis - ANSWER Premalignant lesion from sun exposure that can →
squamous cell carcinoma.
Adrenal Gland Abnormalities - ANSWER Addison's Disease→Hyposecretion of
Adrenal Cortical
Cushing's Disease→Hypersecretion of Adrenal Cortical
Pheochromocytoma→Hypersecretion of catecholamines
Angioma - ANSWER benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic
vessel walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these
vessels
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - ANSWER Starts with Acute lung
injury/insult (ALI)
First Stage→Respiratory Alkalosis→hyperventilation
Intermediate stage→ACIDOSIS Respiratory→ hypoventilation and Metabolic K⁺ cell
breakdown
Intermediate stage→PULMONARY EDEMA →cell breakdown turns on inflammatory
response
Intermediate state→BLOOD CLOTTING platelets responds to inflammation further
blocking perfusion
Late stage→RESPIRATORY FAILURE continued acidosis
Autonomic Dysreflexia - ANSWER is an abnormal cardiovascular response to
stimulation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system; occurs as a
result of stimulation of the bladder, large intestine, or other visceral organs not being
able to send correct signals
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) - ANSWER Nonmalignant enlargement of the
prostate gland. Age-related but otherwise unknown etiology.
Frequency, urgency, straining to void, decreased urine stream, incontinence,
impotence, palpable prostate, nocturia. Can give a false-positive PSA test
TURP - ANSWER Transurethral Resection of the Prostate an instrument is
inserted up the urethra to remove the section of the prostate that is blocking urine
flow in BPH
, Blood Components - ANSWER Myeloid Cells Bone
RBC Kidney Erythropoietin
WBC Thymus T-lymphocytes
Platelets Liver Thrombopoietin
RBC - ANSWER provide oxygen
WBC - ANSWER Granulocytes
Basophils-allergic reaction Histamines
Eosinophils-allergy and parasites
Neutrophil
Agranulocytes
Lymphocytes-B and T-(timely)
Monocytes→Macrophages→ phagocytosis
Platelets - ANSWER Thrombocytes→ Clotting
Burn Treatment - ANSWER Give Hypertonic fluid to prevent hypervolemia
Watch for fluid overload due to sudden improvement give hypotonic to provide tissue
with fluid
Give Electrolytes that were lost
Cardiogenic Shock - ANSWER Myocardial damage that causes the heart to fail to
pump blood sufficiently to meet the body's demand.
Cells of Inflammation - ANSWER endothelial, platelet, leukocytes
Endothelial Cells of Inflammation - ANSWER line the blood vessels - Produces
chemicals that
a. vasodilate or vasoconstrict
b. cause blood thinning/prevent clotting (to keep vein open)
c. allow entrance/exit into and out of the blood vessel (vessel wall permeability)
d. control inflammatory mediators
Platelets of Inflammation - ANSWER thrombocytes
a. Responsible for blood coagulation/clotting
b. Platelets release of over 300 potent inflammatory mediators
Leukocytes of Inflammation - ANSWER They are the major cellular component of
the inflammatory response
The term "LEUKOCYTOSIS" means a higher than normal production of White Blood
Cells (usually neutrophils) in the blood, and is a common indicator of inflammation
and infection.
WBCs are classified as either GRANULOCYTES or AGRANULOCYTES
Types of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) - ANSWER Ischemic Throbmitic CVA
Ischemic Embolic CVA
Hemorrhagic CVA
