NUR2063 Exam 3 Focused Review
Ch. 2 Homeostasis, Allostasis, and Adaptive Responses to Stressors
• Electrolyte pools- bones act as an electrolyte pool and store calcium magnesium, and phosphate
ions; shift of electrolytes into electrolyte pools will decrease plasma electrolyte concentration
and shift of electrolytes from an electrolyte pool into the extracellular fluid will increase the
plasma electrolyte concentration
Ch. 7 Neoplasia
• Metastasis- process by which cancer cells escape their tissue of origin and initiate new colonies
of cancer in distant sites
Ch. 9 Inflammation and Immunity
• Passive vs active immunity- Passive: transfer of preformed antibodies against specific antigen
from a protected or immunized individual to an unprotected or nonimmunized individual; types:
mother to fetus: IgG- can cross placenta, mother to infant: IgA- from breast milk, serotherapydirect injections of antibodies (human or animal); active: a protected state owing to the body’s
immune response as a result of active infection or immunization, types: immunizations- vaccines
• Immunoglobulins- antibodies; two identical light polypeptide chains joined to identical heavy
polypeptide chains by disulfide bonds; five different classes: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, & IgE

Ch. 11 Malignant Disorders of White Blood Cells
• Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)- characterized by malignant granulocytes that carry the
Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+); does not respond well to chemotherapy: poor overall survival
time; Blast stage CML- poor prognosis: 3 to 4 months; treatment- bone marrow transplant
• Age of onset for multiple myeloma- median age 65 years
• Malignant Disorders of WBCs- may be nonspecific signs & symptoms
