NUR 2063 Pathophysiology Exam 2
- Pathophysiology
The study of how normal physiologic processes are affected by disease.
- genetic disease
Due to abnormalities in genetic makeup
- Developmental Disease
Diseases occurring during embryonic of fetal develop- ment
- Inflammatory Disease
Trigger the inflamm
- Degenerative Disease
Causes part of the body to degenerate EX
Arthritis
- Metabolic Disease
affects the metabolism EX
Diabetes Mellitus
- Neoplastic Disease
- / 3
Due to uncontrollable cellular growth; leads to benign and malignant TUMOR growth
- Etiology
cause of disease
- idiopathic
unknown cause
- iatrogenic
produced by treatment ; Unintended
- Differentiation
process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
- Nucleus
Control center of the cell
- selectively permeable
some substances can pass across them and others cannot
- Homeostasis
Call maintains state of internal balance
- , , and have free passage in and out of the cell
Enzymes, Glucose, and electrolytes 2 / 3
- Enzymes
Proteins that enable chemical reactions
- Glucose
Sugar molecule that provides energy
- Electrolytes
charged conductors when dissolved in water
- Diffusion
Movement of solutes dissolved in a solvent from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- facilitated diffusion
Substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration with the assistance of a carrier molecule. DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY
- Osmosis
passive movement of water/solvent across the cellular membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
- proliferation
Regulated process by which cells divide and reproduce.
- Mitosis
The division of 1 cell results in 2 genetically identical and equal daugh- ter cells EX
