WGU PATHO D236 - GOODLUCK ! EXAM
WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025
Turner syndrome - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>A chromosomal disorder in
females in which either an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person
XO instead of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted.
Tay-Sachs Disease - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>A human genetic disease
caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the
accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance
usually become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a
few years.
Down syndrome - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>A condition of mild to severe
intellectual disability and associated physical disorders caused by an extra
copy of chromosome 21
Diabetes Insipidus - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Antidiuretic hormone is
not secreted adequately, or the kidney is resistant to its effect. The *serum
sodium is often elevated* due to excess free water losses.
In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys
can't properly concentrate urine.
,Cardiac Valve Disease Process - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>In heart valve
disease, one or more of the valves in your heart doesn't work properly.
Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve). When the valve(s) do not close
completely, it causes blood to flow backward through the valve. This reduces
forward blood flow and can lead to volume overload in the heart.
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s) opening becomes
narrowed, it limits the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is
forced to pump blood with increased force to move blood through the
narrowed or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Heart valve
disease can cause many complications, including:
* Heart failure.
* Stroke.
* Blood clots.
* Heart rhythm abnormalities.
* Death.
Respiratory Illness from bats - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>*Viral
hemorrhagic fevers* are spread by contact with infected animals or insects.
The viruses that cause viral hemorrhagic fevers live in a variety of animal
and insect hosts.
, Most commonly, the hosts include mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, or bats. Some
viral hemorrhagic fevers can also be spread from person to person.
Anemia - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Different types of anemia include:
Anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency
Anemia due to folate (folic acid) deficiency
Anemia due to iron deficiency
Anemia of chronic disease
Hemolytic anemia
Idiopathic aplastic anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
Acid Base Balance - lung and kidney compensation - CORRECT-
ANSWERS>>>>>>The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-base
balance - their cells reabsorb bicarbonate HCO3− from the urine back to the
blood and they secrete hydrogen H+ ions into the urine.
By adjusting the amounts reabsorbed and secreted, they balance the
bloodstream's pH.
Pyelonephritis - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Inflammation of the renal
pelvis and the kidney
