physiology/pathology review Flashcards
the following is not soft tissue:
osseous
the following tissues arise from the mesoderm
muscle and connective
the following is NOT a function of CT
serves as a blood reservoir
biological agents, such as bacteria and viruses, differ from other agents in their ability to
reproduce and cause continued injury
hypoxia
decrease in oxygen supply to tissues
soft tissue forms scars and adhesions because
undergoes fibrosis
the following statement about inflammatory process is false
transport process that removes large particles from interstitial fluid
the following systems are primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis
digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urinary
sacromeres are defined as the
contractile units of the cell
which one of the statements regarding myosin is true
the moving protein in the contractile mechanism
which neurotransmitter stimulates skeletal mm contraction
acetylcholine
this metabolic pathway provides the highest yield of ATP per glucose molecule broken down
aerobic respiration
which condition will NOT result in mm fatigue
accumulation of myoglobin in mm
this is a structural feature seen in both cardiac and skeletal mm cells
striations
this is an important characteristic of neurons
excitable
what is a function of the SNS
increase HR and BP
a junction that allows for the transfer of nn signals from one neuron to another
synapse
which one of the following does not cause atrophy, or wasting of the mms
innervation
term that describes altered sensitivity, tingling, numbness
parethesia
this is part of the brain stem
medulla oblongata
this brain structure coordinated movement, balance, and mm tone
cerebellum
the BBB is a
selective barrier that prevents harmful substances from reaching the brain
what is not a seizure disorder
cerebrovascular
a nonprogressive congenital brain disorder manifesting with spasticity
cerebral palsy
the amount of oxygen available to tissues depends on the number of circulating p
RBC
the following statement about body temperature and thermoregulation is true
the thalamus monitors blood temperature changes
which one of the following is NOT a cause of anemia
cigarette smoking
which characterizes the first line of defense
epidermis
which condition is NOT an imblanace of the immune system
osteomyelitis
the pulmonary veins carry:
oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
which one of the following BV types is NOT a capillary
elastic
rapid HB
tachycardia
which mechanism does NOT promote venous return
ventricular contraction
what statement about tissue oxygenation is false
cerebral BF is highly variable and depends on activity levels
this description is typical of 3rd degree burns
tissue damage to the skin and subcutaneous layer
replacement of one cell type by another type is termed
metaplasia
vitamin D deficiency decreases
calcium absorption and bone formation
colle’s is a common fracture of the
distal radius
the following is a sign, rather than a symptoms, of disease
fever
the following metabolic bone disease affects children
rickets
this deformity is known as knock knee
genu valgum
unlike structural scoliosis, postural scoliosis:
can be corrected with active exercise
the following is an example of an element
oxygen
the rough endoplasmic reticulum is the site of
protein synthesis
the fluid inside the cell is known by all if the following names except
interstitial fluid
atoms that readily share electrons from the following type of chemical bonds
covalent
the following state is a result of mitosis
cells with the original number of chromosomes
the following system is responsible for returning interstitial fluid to the general circulation
lymphatic
the following receptor is classified as a proprioceptor
GTO
