Pathophysiology NSG 533 Exam 1 Questions With Verified Answers What are the five essential components of pathophysiology? - answer✔✔1. Etiol ogy (Causative mechanisms) 2. Epidemiology (risk factors and distribution in populations) 3. Pathogenesis (disease mechanism) 4. clinical manifestations (signs, symptoms and diagnostic criteria) 5. Outcomes (cure, remission, chronicity, or death) The "why" of disease - what is the reason for it - what caused it to happen? May be simple/complex. - answer✔✔etiology Looks at the pattern of disease among groups or aggregates or populations. This component of disease represents the relationship between nu merous population characteristics (e.g. age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographic location) and the incidence and prevalence of disease. - answer✔✔Epidemiology Involves the sequence of events that occurs between the stimulus event(s) and the manifes tations of the disease. - answer✔✔pathogenesis Tell an individual and their health care provider that something is wrong. e.g. Signs and symptoms - answer✔✔Clinical manifestations Are relatively easy to understand if you review their definitions (cure, rem ission, chronicity, or death) - answer✔✔Outcomes What are the 4 common mechanisms that characterize all cell injury and death? Give 2 examples of each. - answer✔✔1. ATP depletion - Ischemia and Anemia 2. Oxygen and oxygen -derived free radicals - Chemical a nd radiation injury, ischemia reperfusion injury, microbial killing by phagocytes, and cellular aging 3. intracellular calcium and loss of calcium steady state - Ischemia and certain chemicals 4. Defects in membrane permeability - Certain medications that can lead to liver or kidney damage The disease mechanism that is the basis of much of the disease today - and most of the cases involve hypoxia. Refers to the inability of the cell to produce adequate energy to fuel normal activities of that particular cell type (cell membrane pumps and protein synthesis) and function. - answer✔✔ATP depletion A very inefficient method of ATP production (yields 2 ATP) - answer✔✔glycolysis Is a very efficient method of ATP production (yields 36 ATP) - answer✔✔Oxidative Phospho rylation What is the most common method of impairing oxygen and ATP production? - answer✔✔hypoxia Can lead to irreversible cell injury directly through impairment of energy production in the cell. - answer✔✔Ischemia What are the cellular events that occur with ischemia -induced - hypoxic injury? - answer✔✔1. The amount of ATP production within the mitochondria declines 2. The drop in ATP causes NA -K- ATPase pump on CM to fail. Which then leads to increase in NA+,H2O, and Ca+ in cell and decrease in K+ in cell . 3. Increase in water in cell causes cell and it's organelles to swell. 4. When RER swell it's ribosomes fall off and protein synthesis stops. 5. ATP production through phosphorylation declines and glycolysis (anaerobic metabolism) increases. When glycoly sis increases in the cell glycogen stores are depleted. 6. Glycolysis also produces lactic acid as by -product. Glycolysis also = intracellular pH decline ( the cell functions within narrow range of pH and even slight drop can incapacitate the cell). 7. Dr op in pH causes clumping of nuclear material called pyknosis. Leads to fragmentation of the nuclear material (karyorrhexis) and then to dissolution of nuclear membrane (karyolysis). Decline in pH= rupture of already swollen lysosomes and release of proteol ytic enzymes= autodigestion of cell contents and cell membrane. 8. Disruption of CM also increases Ca+ influx into the cell and organelles= activate proteases, endonucleases, and phospholipases that proceed to destroy the cell. Unstable compounds with an unpaired electron in its outer ring. They have a particular affinity for lipid substances. They combine avidly with cell or organelle membrane. "Drill a hole" in the membrane of cell. They are normal byproducts of cellular metabolism, and they are always present in the body. - answer✔✔Free radicals Chemically reactive molecules that are formed as natural oxidant species in cells during mitochondrial respiration and energy generation. Most sources come from the mitochondria. Made during the process of making ATP. - answer✔✔Reactive oxygen species (ROS ) Remove free radicals and ROS from our system. - answer✔✔Antioxidants When free radicals are produced in amounts that overwhelm our antioxidants or when antioxidants are decreased. - answer✔✔Oxidative Stress What can occur within the cell when injury is i nduced by free radicals? - answer✔✔1. membrane damage 2. protein modifications 3. mutations in DNA 4. Damage to cell signaling pathways Genetic disturbances can be _______ if they involve the germ cell line of an individual - answer✔✔inherited Genetic di sturbances can also be _______ by exposure to some mutagenic/ carcinogenic environmental factors - answer✔✔acquired Enzymes secreted by microorganisms can breakdown cell membranes once introduced into the body= _______ Allows the organisms to dissolve surr ounding tissues and allows them to move deeper into the tissues, blood, and lymphatics. - answer✔✔lysis by enzymes Certain viruses, once they have infected a cell, will cause membrane rupture as newly produced viral particles (virions) leave the host cell= ________. Sometimes referred to as lytic viruses. Examples include HIV and Hep B. - answer✔✔Lysis by virus Involve the abnormal accumulation of substances that are normally found in the body (endogenous agents) or not normally found in the body (exogenous agents). - answer✔✔Metabolic derangements Give 2 examples of endogenous accumulations in the body. - answer✔✔1. Lipids: Fatty changes occurs most often in liver cells but can also be problem in myocardial cells. Liver handles fats and synthesizes complex fats and lipoproteins. Slow accumulation of fat within hepatic or myocardial cells usually does not impair the function of those cells until the problem is extreme. However, fatty change can occur in acute basis and can lead to acute heart or liver failure . 2. Bilirubin: Pigment released when RBCs break down/destroyed. Bilirubin is released/diffuses into blood where it is called unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is fat -
soluble and can't be eliminated through kidney (urine). So, it's taken up by liver cells bound to a
