NR 507 FINAL ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS- GUARANTEED PASS
What labs are done for diagnosis of cushings? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Urinary free cortisol concentration , ACTH, cortisol. Routine
laboratory examinations may reveal hyperglycemia, glycosuria,
hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis.
Is characterized by excessive aldosterone secretion by the
adrenal cortex. There are both primary and secondary forms of
hyperaldosteronism. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Hyperaldosteronism
What are characteristics of Addison's? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Addison disease is characterized by inadequate corticosteroid
and mineralocorticoid synthesis and elevated serum ACTH
levels.
Those with Cushings do not increase
________and________secretion in response to a stressor. - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > ACTH, and cortisol
What are other causes of Addison disease? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Other causes include infections (tuberculosis, fungal infections,
human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]), infiltrative diseases
(amyloidosis, metastatic carcinoma), or bilateral adrenal
hemorrhage.
,2
_________ and __________ is increased in ACTH-dependent
hypercortisolism. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > ACTH, and cortisol
,3
Protein wasting is caused by the catabolic effects of cortisol on
peripheral tissues. Muscle wasting leads to muscle weakness
and is especially obvious in the muscles of the extremities with
thinning of the limbs. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Cushing Syndrome
____________ is caused by excessive secretion of aldosterone
from an abnormality of the adrenal cortex, usually a single
benign aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma. - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Primary hyperaldosteronism
Most common cause of Addison disease. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The
most common cause of Addison disease in the United States is
autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex and it is more
common in women.

CHAPTER 40 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
- ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > GOOD LUCK!!
THE GI TRACT CONSISTS OF THE_____________________ - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus.
How many layers does the GI tract consist of? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
4, mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa or adventitia
What is located solely in the GI tract - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Neurons
forming the enteric nervous system are located solely within the
gastrointestinal tract and are controlled by local and autonomic
nervous system stimuli.
What are three pairs of salivary glands? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The
three pairs of salivary glands (the submandibular, sublingual,
and parotid glands) (Figure 40-3) secrete about 1 L of saliva
per day.
What does saliva consist of? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Saliva consists
mostly of water that contains varying amounts of mucus,
sodium, bicarbonate, chloride, potassium, and salivary α-
amylase (ptyalin), an enzyme that initiates carbohydrate
digestion in the mouth and stomach.
