Study of how disease processes affect the function of the body.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Study of how disease processes affect the function of the body. | Pathophysiology |
| A substance that, when dissolved in water, seperates into charged particles. | Electrolyte |
| The cellular function of converting nutrients into energy necessary for cell function. | Metabolism |
| The cellular process where oxygen is used to metabolize glucose. | Aerobic metabolism |
| The cellular process where glucose is metabolized into energy without oxygen. | Anaerobic metabolism |
| Open, clear, and free from obstruction. | Patent |
| The volume of air moved in and out during one cycle of breathing. | Tidal volume |
| Air space that occupies the space between the mough and alveoli but does not actually reach the area of gas exchange. | Dead air space |
| Chemical sensors in the brain and blood vessels that identify changing levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide. | Chemoreceptors |
| The pull exerted on water in and around the body cells into the bloodstream by large proteins in the plasma portion of the blood. | Plasma oncotic pressure |
| The push of water out of the bloodstream as a result of the pressure within the vessel. | Hydrostatic pressure |
| The amount of blood ejected from the heart in 1 minute (HR X SV) | Cardiac output |
| The pressure in the peripheral blood vessels that the heart must overcome to pump blood. | Systemic vascular resistance |
| ventilation/perfusion match. | V/Q Match |
| The constant supply of oxygen and nutrients in the cells by the flow of blood. | Perfusion |
| An abnormally low amount of water in the body. | Dehydration |
| Swelling associated with the movement of water into the interstitial space. | Edema |
| An exaggerated response by the immune system to a particular substance. | Hypersensitivity |
| Sensors in the blood vessels designed to identify interal pressure. | Stretch receptors |
| Fraction of inspired oxygen; the concentration of oxygen in the air we breathe. | FiO(2) |
| The volume of air moved in one cycle of breathing. | Minute volume |
| The amount of blood ejected from the heart in one contracton. | Stroke volume |
| The cell structure that contains the DNA. | Nucleus |
| Water management by the cells of the body is important because? | It influences the concentrations of electrolytes. |
| When the legs are crushed under a slab of concrete, the blood supply is diminished to the cells in the leg. This condition often results in: | Lactic acid being produced |
| Movement of air in and out of the chest requires: | A patent airway |
| The best assessment of the amount of air that gets into and out of the lungs each minute is the: | Minute volume |
| The seat of the brain's respiratory control is a section called the: | Medulla |
| The brain stimulation to the respiratory system to increase the rate and/or tidal volume originates with the: | Chemoreceptors in the brain and vascular system |
| The force exerted by large proteins in the blood that tends to attract water away from the area around the body cells and into the bloodstream. | Plasma oncotic pressure |
| Your patient is dehydrated, yet also has a massive edema. This could be due to: | A dysfunctioning liver |
| A major risk factor in heart disease and stroke is due to: | Constriction of peripheral vessels |
| Patients who develop sepsis are prone to problems with: | Capillary permeability |
| The average person ejects approximately 60 ml of blood with each contraction of the heart. This is known as: | stroke volume |
| The patient's stroke volume depends on the patient's: | Afterload, preload, and contractility |
| The most common disorder of the digestive system. | Nausea and/or vomiting |
| An example of a condition where glands of the body are producing too much of a hormone. | Graves disease |
| Inability or difficulty speaking, visual or hearing disturbance, and weakness (sometimes limited to one side) are signs of: | Neurological impairment |
