ONE 2026 REAL QUESTIONS WITH
EXPERTLY VERIFIED ANSWERS.
1. What are the different patterns of necrosis? - correct answer -
coagulative necrosis, liquefactive necrosis, fat necrosis,
caseous necrosis
2. What type of necrosis is gangrene? - correct answer -
coagulative necrosis
3. Why does gangrene take place? - correct answer -there is an
interruption of the arterial blood supply to a tissue.
4. A type of coagulative necrosis when an area is free of infection
and the line of demarcation between live and dead tissue is
apparent - correct answer -dry gang
, Page | 2
5. A type of coagulative necrosis when infection is present in the
area between live and dead tissue. - correct answer -wet
gangrene
6. Why is wet gangrene wet? - correct answer -presence of an
cute inflammatory reaction and inflammatory exudate
7. Characteristics of wet gangrene - correct answer -malodorous,
lines of demarcation between live and dead tissue is unclear
until the infection is arrested
8. What is gas gangrene? - correct answer -wet gangrene caused
by clostridium perfringens - gas is caused in destroyed tissue.
Accumulation of gas causes "crepitus"
9. What does cell necrosis stimulate? - correct answer -the acute
inflammatory response
10. Rogers Table 2.11 - processes - correct answer -systemic
components of cell injury

11. What is a systemic manifestation of acute inflammation? -
correct answer -the synthesis and release of hepatic "acute
phase proteins"
12. Type II programmed cell death or "eating self"
13. Self-destructive process and a survival mechanism - correct
answer -autophagy
14. Autophagy salvages key metabolites to promote _______. -
correct answer -Homeostasis
15. What role does autophagy play in healthy cells? - correct
answer -autophagy is a critical garbage collecting and recycling
process
16. How does autophagy contribute to aging? - correct answer -
it is believe that with aging, autophagy becomes less
discriminating and harmful agents accumulate leading to aging
