Maryville NURS 611 Patho Exam 1Questions And Answers Latest
Update
Apoptosis Answer: A programmed cell death that is regulated or
programmed. Cellular self-destruction for elimination or unwanted cell
populations
Necrosis Answer: Rapid loss of the plasma membrane structure, organelle
swelling, mitochondria dysfunction
What is the #1 cause of cellular injury leading to necrosis (especially the kidney
and heart) Answer: hypoxia
What is the #1 cause of hypoxia? Answer: ischemia
Main component of a cell Answer: nucleus
What does the nucleus contain? Answer: nucleolus
What is the nucleolus composed of? Answer: RNA, most of cellular DNA, DNA
binding proteins, and histones
Why are histone important? Answer: histones bind to DNA and fold it into
chromosomes (chromatin) which is essential for cell division
,What are ribosomes? Answer: RNA-protein complexes (nucleoproteins) that
are synthesized in the nucleolus and secreted into the cytoplasm through pores in
the nuclear envelope called nuclear pore complexes (NPCs)
Where can ribosomes be found? Answer: cytoplasm and rough ER
what are ribosomes chief function? Answer: provides sits for cellular protein
synthesis
What is the Golgi apparatus (complex)? Answer: a network of flatten, smooth
membranes and vesicles frequently located near the nucleus of the cell
What does the Golgi apparatus do? Answer: takes proteins from the ER and
processes/packages them into small membrane-bound vesicles called "secretory
vesicles, and refines and directs traffic in the cell
What are lysosomes and what do they do? Answer: maintain cellular health
by removal of toxic cellular components, removal of useless organelles,
termination of signal transduction, and signals cellular adaption
How does aging affect lysosomes? Answer: leads to progressive loss of
lysosomal efficiency which declines the regenerative capacity of organs and tissue
What functions do lysosomal components integrate? Answer: nutrient
abundance, energy levels, and cell stressors and will translate them into
instructions that regulate cellular metabolism toward either proliferation or
inactivity
, What is mitochondria responsible for? Answer: cellular respiration, cellular
metabolism , and energy production
What does the inner membrane of mitochondria contain? Answer: enzymes
of the respiratory chain and are essential to the process of oxidative
phosphorylation that generates most of the cell's ATP
The mitochondrial matrix contains what kind of pathways (1), involve what two
things (2), and metabolizes what three things (3)? Answer: 1- metabolic
2- urea and heme synthesis
3- carbs, proteins, and lipids
What can accumulate intracellularly caused by stresses form metabolic
dearangements? Answer: carbs, proteins, and lipids
What is physiologic atrophy? Answer: occurs in early development. ex:
thymus glad during childhood
What is pathologic atrophy? Answer: occurs as a result of decreases in
workload, use, pressure, blood supply, nutrition, and hormonal stimulation.
Ex: Shrinking of gonads in an adolescent pt in response to decreased hormonal
stimulation. and an pt immobilized in bed for a prolonged time
what is hypertrophy? Answer: increase in cell size
