Pathophysiology Exams with Questions and
Verified Answers| | 100% Correct| A Grade –
Herzing
dura mater - ANSWEROuter layer of meninges, tough, fibrous, double layered.
dural sinuses - ANSWERFormed by spits in dura mater. Collect venous blood and CSF
for return to general circulation.
mediastinum (what is it) - ANSWERArea of thoracic cavity between lungs. Location of
trachea, esophagus, heart & large vessels
pericardial sac - ANSWERFibrous sac, holds heart, double-walled, anchors heart to
diaphragm.
endocardium - ANSWERinner layer of heart, forms 4 heart valves
septum in heart - ANSWERsepartes L & R sides of heart
SA node - other name - ANSWERpacemaker
sinus rhythm - ANSWERbasic rate of impulses generated by SA node (70 beats per
minute)
location of sinoatrial node - ANSWERright atrium
Where does impulse go to after SA node - ANSWERSpreads through atrial conduction
pathways, resulting in contraction of both atria
AV node - what is it - ANSWERAtrioventricular node. Impulse arrives here after SA
node sent it through atria
AV node - where is it - ANSWERFloor of R atrium near septum. Is the only anatomical
connection between atrial and ventricular portions of conduction system.
AV bundle - other name - ANSWERBundle of His - other name
ECG - what does it do - ANSWERRecords electrical changes sent by conduction
impulses as picked up by electrodes
apoptosis - ANSWERnormal programmed cell death in tissues
, endogenous - ANSWERoriginating from within the body
exogenous - ANSWERoriginating from outside the body
gangrene - ANSWERnecrotic tissue infected by bacteria
hypoxia - ANSWERdecreased or insufficient level of oxygen in the tissues
iatrogenic - ANSWERcaused by a treatment, procedure or error
idiopathic - ANSWERno known cause
ischemia - ANSWERdecreased blood supply to an organ or tissue
lysis - ANSWERdestruction of a cell
lysosomal enzymes - ANSWERreleased into tissues undergoing lysis; cause
inflammation and damage to nearby cells and reduced function
morphologic - ANSWERstructural
pathogenesis - ANSWERdevelopment of the disease or sequence of events involved
in the tissue changes related to the specific disease process
insidious - ANSWERProceeding in a gradual, subtle way, with only vague or mild
signs, but with harmful effects. Ex: "the xx effects of stress"; hepatitis
subclinical - ANSWERpathologic changes occur but no obvious manifestations
exhibited, perhaps because of great reserve capacity of some organs. Ex: kidney
damage may progress to an advanced stage of renal failure before symptoms are
manifested.
latent - ANSWERsilent stage, no clinical signs evident. May be called incubation
period in some infectious diseases. May be communicable during this period.
prodromal - ANSWERtime in early development of disease; pt know of change in
body, but signs are nonspecific; a stage in infections. Labs tests are negative, difficult
to confirm diagnosis.
manifestations - ANSWERclinical evidence or effects, signs and symptoms, local or
systemic
lesion - ANSWERspecific local change in tissue, may be microscopic
syndrome - ANSWERcollection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more than one
organ. Usually occur together in response to a certain condition.
