Patho Final Exam Questions with verified detailed solutions
|| || || || || || ||
Although against your better judgment, you squeezed an acne pustule on your face. Now
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
you notice a clear fluid seeping from the opening. What is this clear fluid?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
A. exudate
|| ||
B. pus
|| ||
C. plasma
|| ||
D. water - ✔✔A. exudate
|| || || ||
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a nonspecific test for inflammation. What does this
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
mean? What happens during the ESR test? - ✔✔A nonspecific test means that the test is not
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
testing for a specific disease or type of inflammation it is just testing for inflammation in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
general. During ESR blood is put into a tube and the tube is watched for an hour to see how
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
fast your red blood cells fall to the bottom on the tube, if inflammation is present the RBC's
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
will clump and fall faster
|| || || ||
Formation of these is a protective mechanism during some cases of chronic inflammation
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
where an area is walled off in order to protect surrounding unaffected tissues:
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
A. adenomas
||
B. granulomas
||
C. basement membranes
|| ||
D. granulation tissues - ✔✔B. granulomas
|| || || || ||

Identify and describe the three phases of tissue healing and repair. - ✔✔Inflammatory
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
phase: is an acute inflammatory response, and then the wound gets covered by a clot
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
formation, also known as a thrombus. Proliferative phase: chemical mediators clean debris
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
out of wound and remove necrotic tissues, then structural integrity is restored through
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
rebuilding of ECM, and basement membrane and connective tissue is replaced. Remodeling
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
phase: has 3 R's Resolution- healing in mild injury, or Regeneration, or Replacement. Then
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
it is remodeled and cells mature, and wound heals.
|| || || || || || || ||
Identify the three treatment principles in acute inflammation - ✔✔-reduce blood flow to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
local area ||
-decrease swelling ||
-block inflammatory mediators || ||
-and also decrease pain
|| || ||
Poor tissue perfusion can lead to this complication of chronic inflammation:
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
A. Keloid formation
|| ||
B. Wound dehiscence
|| ||
C. Adhesions
||
D. Ulceration - ✔✔D. Ulceration
|| || || ||
The cell most likely responsible for an immediate release of chemical mediators right at the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
site of injury is the:
|| || || ||
A. Mast cell
|| ||
B. Platelet
||
C. Eosinophil
||
, 2
D.Endothelial - ✔✔A. Mast cell || || || ||
What is the relationship between severe burns and the development of gastritis?
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
A. Burns shunt blood away from the stomach
|| || || || || || ||
B. Eating spicy food can burn the stomach
|| || || || || || ||
C. Burns increase blood flow to the stomach
|| || || || || || ||
D. Burns require the use of long-term analgesics, which irritate the stomach - ✔✔A. Burns
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
shunt blood away from the stomach
|| || || || ||
What is the role of the clear fluid referred to in the previous question?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
A) carries proteins and leukocytes
|| || || ||
B) promotes clotting
|| ||
C) replaces epithelial cells
|| || ||
D) indicates edema in the underlying tissues - ✔✔A) carries proteins and leukocytes
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Which characteristic best describes the inflammatory response?
|| || || || || ||
A. specific response to microorganisms
|| || || ||
B. initiated by certain types of injury
|| || || || || ||
C. hormone-mediated
||
D. regulated by chemical mediators - ✔✔D. regulated by chemical mediators
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Which is not a major goal of the inflammatory response?
|| || || || || || || || ||
A. increase blood flow to the site of injury
|| || || || || || || ||
B. form an antigen-antibody response
|| || || ||
C. dilute harmful substances at the site of injury
|| || || || || || || ||
