NURS 6501-Advanced Pathophysiology Quiz 1
Questions and Verified Answers, 100% (best
answers)
Quiz How are cells specialized?
Ans: through the process of differentiation or maturation
Quiz What are the eight specialized cellular functions?
Ans: movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration,
reproduction, and communication
Quiz What are the three general components of an eukaryotic cell?
Ans: the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, and the intracellular organelles.
Quiz What causes the release of lysosomal enzemes?
Ans: Cellular injury causing cellular self-digestion
,Quiz What is the location and function of the nucleus?
Ans: the largest membrane-bound organelle and is found usually in the cell's center. The chief
functions of the nucleus are cell division and control of genetic information.
Quiz What is Cytoplasm?
Ans: an aqueous solution (cytosol) that fills the space between the nucleus and the plasma
membrane.
Quiz What is the endoplasmic reticulum and what does it specialize in?
Ans: a network of tubular channels (cisternae) that extend throughout the outer nuclear
membrane. It specializes in the synthesis and transport of protein and lipid components of
most of the organelles
Quiz What is the Golgi complex and what does it do?
Ans: a network of smooth membranes and vesicles located near the nucleus. The Golgi complex
is responsible for processing and packaging proteins into secretory vesicles
Quiz What are lysosomes and what do they do?
Ans: saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex and contain digestive enzymes.
These enzymes are responsible for digesting most cellular substances to their basic form, such
as amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates
, Quiz What are peroxisomes?
Ans: involved in the production and breakdown of hydrogen peroxide
Quiz Importance of proteins in disease
Ans: The major workhorses of the cell, if misfolded they can cause diseases
Quiz What are mitochondria responsible for?
Ans: . Mitochondria contain the metabolic machinery necessary for cellular energy metabolism
(Makes ATP).
Quiz What is the cytoskeleton?
Ans: the "bone and muscle" of the cell. The internal skeleton is composed of a network of
protein filaments, including microtubules and actin filaments (microfilaments).
Quiz What is the plasma membrane?
Ans: encloses the cell and, by controlling the movement of substances across it, exerts a
powerful influence on metabolic pathways
Quiz What is signal transduction?
