(CH 1)Dysplasia out of order/looks weird - are unable to differentiate the size/shape of cells properly - precancerous Anaplasia worse than dysplasia (even more out of order) Neoplasia New growth (could be benign and is just multiplying too fast but still OK) or malignant (BAD) Prognosis probability of recovery Complications problems happen because of something Diagnosis signs/symptoms associated with disease Etiology causes of disease (idiopathic...

Ovarian cancer site of metastasis? Peritoneal surfaces, omentum (fold of peritoneum connecting the stomach with other abdominal organs), liver The increased NADH/NAD+ ratio in the liver from ethanol causes: 1. Pyruvate --> lactic acid, causing lactic acidosis 2. Oxaloacetate --> malate. This prevents gluconeogenesis and leads to hypoglycemia 3. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate --> glycerol 3- phosphate and combines with fatty acids to form triglycerides in the liver, known as hepat...

NUR 3125 MODULE 1: CELLULAR, TISSUE FUNCTION AND GENES ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE CELL Function of the cell • Structure o Plasma Membrane: (semi-permeable phospholipid bilayer, embedded proteins) o Nucleus: DNA & RNA (genetic material is separated from the cytoplasm with the double layer nuclear membrane which contains pores); the mRNA goes through these pores into the cytoplasm to make proteins in the ribosomes o Cytoplasm & Organelles ▪ Ribosomes: (freely found in the cytopla...

neutrophil key points: - correct answer 1. most abundant phagocyte produced in the bone marrow = adult human has more than 1E11 neutrophils being produced each day 2. first cells that are attracted to the site of inflammation 3. cytokines/chemokines stimulate neutrophil migration from blood to infected/damaged tissues 4. capture, phagocytose, and kill microbes 5. opsonized microbes are more efficiently ingested and killed 6. PMN are short-lived...

Cells adapt by changing their: - Answer 1. size (hypertrophy or atrophy) 2. number (hyperplasia) 3. type (metaplasia) Relationship between hypertrophy and hyperplasia - Answer Hypertrophy occurs in cell types where hyperplasia, the generation of more cells, is uncommon (eg. muscle cells) Why might metaplasia occur? - Answer it occurs in response to chronic irritation and inflammation; one cell type replaces another Define dysplasia - Answer deranged cell growth resulting in varying si...
