And Answers 100%Solved Rated A+
Pathophysiology - correct answer...✔✔the study of how disease processes affect the
function of the body
sign vs symptom - correct answer...✔✔a sign is a physical manifestation (objective), a
symptom is what the patient tells you about the disease (subjective)
Cell components - correct answer...✔✔nucleus/nucleolus, cytoplasm, cell membrane
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) - correct answer...✔✔the body's adaptive
response to stress in three phases—alarm, resistance, exhaustion.
Intracellular fluid (ICF) - correct answer...✔✔fluid inside cells
Extracellular fluid (ECF) - correct answer...✔✔fluid outside the cells; includes
intravascular and interstitial fluids
intravascular fluid - correct answer...✔✔fluid within blood vessels
interstitial fluid - correct answer...✔✔liquid found between the cells of the body that
provides much of the liquid environment of the body
edema - correct answer...✔✔Abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of
tissues.
Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD) - correct answer...✔✔(hypovolemia) loss of both water and
electrolytes in similar proportions from the ECF
fluid overload - correct answer...✔✔a condition that occurs when the body cannot
handle the amount of fluid consumed
Hypervolemia - correct answer...✔✔abnormal increase in the volume of blood plasma
in the body
RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) - correct answer...✔✔Maintain blood
pressure;
Renin is released by kidneys in response to decreased blood volume; causes
angiotensinogen to split & produce angiotensin I; lungs convert angiotensin I to
angiotensin II; angiotensin II stimulates adrenal gland to release aldosterone & causes
an increase in peripheral vasoconstriction
