Define Pathophysiology

Nearly all cells of higher organisms have 3 main components:

Nearly all cells of higher organisms have 3 main components excluding:

Consists of fats and proteins; protects the nucleus & organelles
Semipermeable cell covering through which exchanges take place between the interior of the cell and the external environment

A spherical formation containing genetic material, which is responsible for the functioning of the cell and the transmission of hereditary characteristics

A gelatinous-type substance in which the nucleus and all the organelles are immersed

The adaptive process by which the body maintains internal balance

How does the human body maintain homeostasis:

Water balance in the body is maintained through:

Normal levels for serum sodium (Na) are:

Fluid deficit caused by excess body water loss without proportionate sodium loss

Fluid deficit caused by excessive sodium loss with less water loss

Causes of Hypernatremia and Hyponatremia:

The gap that lies between each neuron that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell

In response to shock or stress, sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes:
A) Vasoconstriction
B) Shunting of blood to the body's periphery
C) slowing of the heart

In addition to facilitating the uptake of sugar into the cells, insulin is responsible for:
a) the chemical conversion of glycogen to glucose
b) the chemical conversion of glucose to glycogen

A medication that possesses a positive chronotropic effect is one that:

What measures the disease-causing ability of a microorganism?

Acid-base disturbances are classified into what two general categories:

What measures the disease-causing ability of a microorganism?

The three most common types of distributive shock

Define septic shock

Define Neurogenic shock

Distributive shock occurs when:

Anaphylactic shock is characterized by

Atrophy is a(n): 
A) increase in cell size.  
B) decrease in cell size.  
C) larger number of cells.  
D) cellular adaptation.
