HPRS 2301 Exam 1
Practice Study Set
Cell Mastermind - Answer The nucleus that contains genetic material, regulates.
Nucleotide- Purine - Answer Adenine & Guanine
Nucleotide- Pyrimidine - Answer Cytosine and Thymine
RNA - Answer single-stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose. ex. insulin
Ribosome - Answer site of protein synthesis
mRNA - Answer Messenger- carries instructions for polypeptide synthesis from nucleus
to ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
rRNA - Answer ribosomal- makes up both subunits of the ribosome
tRNA - Answer transfer- carries amino acids to the ribosome and match them to mRNA.
Codon - Answer a sequence of three nitrogen based nucleotides that together form a
unit of genetic code in a DNA
Adrenoleukodystrophy - Answer An inherited disorder in which long chain fatty acids
accumulate and thereby cause seizures, nervous system degeneration and death in
childhood.
Tx. bone marrow transplant
Barrett's esophagus - Answer a condition in which tissue that is similar to the lining of
your intestine replaces the tissue lining your esophagus.
antibiotic tetracycline - Answer an energy dependent transport or protein that prevents
the binding of tRNA thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis
Apoptosis - Answer cell death
cellular necrosis - Answer loss of cell membrane integrity as a result of exposure to a
noxious stimulus;
Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Answer auto immune disease where the body attacks the
thyroid
Clostridium perfringens - Answer infarction and necrosis, anaerobic bacteria exposes
, tissue and foul odor

stress test - Answer performed to assess cardiovascular health and function during and
after stress
serum albumin - Answer Starlings Law-the force or tension developed in a muscle fiber
depends on the extent to which the fiber is stretched. Protein starvation
Calcium functions - Answer Function- bone structure, cellular metabolism, wound
healing, nerve impulse transmission. normal levels 8.5-10.5
Hypocalcimia - Answer blood plasma calcium levels are low which loweres the
threshhold for depoloriztion
Hypercalcemia - Answer too much calcium causes muscle weakness, lack of
coordination, abdominal pain, confusion, absent tendon reflexes, shallow respirations,
emergency!
