NR 283 Pathophysiology Exam 1 Question and answers already
passed 2025
1. Etiology Cause of particular disease on microscopic level
2. Pathogenesis Story of how disease develops
3. Atrophy Decrease in the size of the cells, results in reduced tissue mass
4. Hypertrophy Increase in cell size, results in enlarged tissue mass
5. Hyperplasia Increased number of cells, results in enlarged tissue mass
6. Metaplasia Mature cell type is replaced by a ditterent mature cell type, Ex: chronic
smokers, cells lose cilia
7. Dysplasia Cells are ditterent looking varying in size and shape
8. Neoplasia New growth, commonly a tumor. May be malignant or benign
9. Apoptosis Programmed cell death, normal occurrence in the body
10. Ischemia Deficit of oxygen in the cells
11. Hypoxia Reduced oxygen in the tissues
12. Iatrogenic illness or disease process because a medical process was done ex:
CAUTI
13. Autosomal Re- Has to have two recessive genes to have disease, only one recessive
cessive gene to be carrier ex: Cystic fibrosis, PKU (phenylketonuria), Tay-Sachs
Disorders
14. Cystic fibrosis autosomal recessive disorder that causes thick mucous secretions
15. PKU 16. Tay-Sachs
(phenylke-
