Rasmussen Pathophysiology Exam 2 with 100% Correct Answers 2023. 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...

WGU D236 Pathophysiology Questions And Answers 2023 (verified Q&A) What is Starling's Law of Capillary forces? How does this explain why a nutritionally deficient child would have edema? - Correct answer-Starling's Law describes how fluids move across the capillary membrane. There are two major opposing forces that act to balance each other, hydrostatic pressure (pushing water out of the capillaries) and osmotic pressure (including oncontic pressure, which pushes fluid into the cap...
