NSG 3315 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Lean Body Mass, Chromatin, Cytoplasm
Document Summary
Chapter 1: the cell in health and illness. Pathophysiology: physiology of altered health studies the functional and structural changes in the body that cause or are caused by disease the physically of abnormal or diseased organisms and their parts. An interruption, cessation, or disorder in the function of a body organ or system that is characterized usually but recognized etiologic agent, identi able signs (objective/ measurable - documenting something directly) and symptoms (subjective - pain) or consistent anatomic alterations. Process includes: etiology (cause), pathognomonic changes (changes at cellular level), clinical manifestations (signs or symptoms), diagnosis (labeling the problem), clinical course (stage of disease - acute, subacute, chronic) Nucleus - center of cell and contains a nucleolus and chromatin. Cytoplasm - surrounds the nucleus, performs the cell work; contains h20, electrolytes, proteins, fats, and glycogen molecules. Endoplasmic reticulum - communication system of inner cell. Golgi complex - produces carbohydrates and transport proteins. Lysosomes/peroxisomes - function as digestive system, cleans out cell.
