What is the definition of "pathophysiology"? - ANSWER-Pathophysiology is
defined as not only the cellular and organ changes that occur with disease, but also
the effects that these changes have on total body function.
Define mortality and morbidity. - ANSWER-Mortality is the reason for death in a
population. Morbidity is the effect of the illness on someone's life, as it pertains to
their quality of life.
Define primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and give an example of each. -
ANSWER-Primary prevention is what a person does to prevent a disease from
occurring, for example eating healthy and exercising.
Secondary prevention is aiming to detect and treat diseases when they are either
still curable or asymptomatic. An example of this is a colonoscopy
Tertiary prevention is when a disease is diagnosed and clinical interventions
happen to cause further complications. For example, using medication to reduce
the risk of future heart attacks.
Why is evidence-based practice important? - ANSWER-Evidence-based practice is
important because medical professions follow up-to-date information and studies
in order to treat diseases. This ensures that new treatment options are followed,
, preventing physicians from using outdates practices that no longer benefit the
patient.
What are the 3 primary structures of the cell? - ANSWER-The nucleus, cytoplasm,
and plasma membrane
What is the function of the nucleus? - ANSWER-The nucleus is the control center
for the cell and contains most of the hereditary material, DNA and RNA.
Name 3 structures within the nucleus. - ANSWER-Chromatin, nucleolus, and
nuclear envelope
What are the roles of the ribosomes, rough ER, and smooth ER? - ANSWER-
Ribosomes synthesize proteins.
Rough ER carries ribosomes and synthesizes lysosomal enzymes.
Smooth ER NO RIBOSOMES. Creates lipids, lipoproteins, and steroid hormones.
What is the function of the lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria? -
ANSWER-Lysosomes break down proteins.
Peroxisomes break down free radicals through the secretion of an enzyme that
breaks down peroxides.
Mitochondria are the power house of the cell. They transform organic compounds
into cellular energy.
What is contained in the cytoskeleton and what is its function? - ANSWER-The
cytoskeleton contains a network of microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate
filaments, and thick filaments. They control cell shape and movement.
