Question 13
0 / 2.5 pts Multiple Choice
Chemical agents (poison, alcohol) are examples of which of the following?
Risk factors
Clinical manifestations
Pathogenesis Correct Answer Etiologic factors
Define primary prevention and give an example:
Your Answer:
when the risk factors has to be remove to stop the disease from occurring
example-eathing healthy / exercising to stay in shape or prevent heart disease.Giving vaccination to pervent disease in children
The goal of primary prevention is to remove risk factors to prevent disease from occurring. Examples include taking folic acid while pregnant to prevent neural tube defects, vaccinating children to prevent communicable disease, eating healthy and exercising to prevent heart disease, and wearing seatbelts or helmets.
Explain apoptosis and why it is necessary:
Your Answer:
apoptosis is the programmed of cell death.this process is necessary for cell dividing because it is removing unwanted cells to make way for new cell.
Apoptosis is programmed cell death. This process eliminates cells that are worn out, have been produced in excess, have developed improperly, or have genetic damage. Apoptosis is also responsible for several normal physiologic processes, like replacing cell in the intestinal villi and removing aging red blood cells.
Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one type of necrosis. Your Answer:
necrosis is when cell dies in an organ/tissues that is still alive .this process can interferes with the tissue regeneration and how cell can be replace.
one type of necrosis is gengrenouse necrosis which can bowel or the lower extremities that may causes changes in tussue and it functions
Necrosis refers to cell death in an organ or tissues that is still part of a living person. It often interferes with cell replacement and tissue regeneration. Coagulative necrosis results most often from a sudden cutoff of blood supply to an organ (ischemia), particularly the heart and kidney. Liquefactive necrosis occurs when some of the cells die but their catalytic enzymes are not destroyed. It is commonly seen with brain infarcts or abscesses. Caseous necrosis occurs as part of granulomatous inflammation and is most often associated with tuberculosis.
Gangrenous necrosis most often affects the lower extremities or bowel and is secondary to vascular occlusion. The term gangrene is applied when a considerable mass of tissue undergoes necrosis. In dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid.

List the 4 types of tissue found in the body. Pick 2 and give a description and example of each.
Your Answer:
nervours tissue-can be find throughout the body and it's used for communication. muscle tissue
connective tissue
epithelial-(covers the outer surface of the body and lines the inner surfaces.
Epithelial tissue covers the body’s outer surface, lines the inner surfaces, and forms glandular tissue. Epithelial tissue has three distinct surfaces and the basal surface is attached to an underlying basement membrane. It is avascular, meaning without blood vessels. It receives oxygen and nutrients from the capillaries of the connective tissue on which it rests.
Connective or supportive tissue is the most abundant tissue in the body. It connects and binds or supports the various tissues. Its cells produce the extracellular matrix that support and hold tissues together. Connective tissue is divided into two types: connective tissue proper and specialized connective tissue (cartilage, bone, and blood cells). The four types of connective tissue proper are loose (areolar), adipose, reticular, and dense connective tissue.
The function of muscle tissue is to move the skeletal structures, pump blood through the heart, and contract the blood vessels and visceral organs. Muscle tissue can accomplish this by contraction. The two types of fibers that contract are called thin and thick filaments.
Thin filaments are called actin, and the thick filaments are myosin. The three types of muscles tissue are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.
Nervous tissue is distributed throughout the body for communication. It provides the means for controlling body function and for sensing and moving about the environment.
The two types of cells are neuron and glial cells. Neurons function is communication. Glial (meaning glue) cells support the neurons.

What term means “cell drinking,” and engulfs small solid or fluid particles, as seen with proteins and electrolytes?
Your Answer:
cell drinking is refrered to pinocytosis
