MULTIPLE CHOICE
• A disease process caused by physicians or their treatment is this type of process.
a. Idiopathic
b. Iatrogenic
c. Neoplasia
d. Community acquired
ANS: B
The disease process caused by physicians and their treatment is iatrogenic.
REF: p. 3
• Basic reactions of the body to some form of injury is a:
a. Disease process
b. Pathology
c. Study of diseases
d. Idiopathic process
, ANS: A
A disease is the pattern of the body’s response to some form of injury.
REF: p. 1
• What term is used to denote a disease in which the underlying cause is unknown?
a. Idiopathic
b. Antietiologic
c. Iatrogenic
d. Nosocomial
ANS: A
Idiopathic diseases are those with an unknown, or as of yet unidentified, cause.
REF: p. 3
• Alterations of cell growth, specifically an abnormal proliferation of cells is called:
a. Hyperplasia
b. Dysplasia
c. Neoplasia
d. Aplasia
ANS: C
Alterations in cell growth lead to the development of neoplasms (tumors).
REF: p. 7
• The initial response of body tissues to local injury is:
a. Infection
, b. Ischemia
c. Edema
d. Inflammation
ANS: D
Inflammation is the initial response of body tissues to local injury.
REF: p. 3
• Heat and redness associated with inflammation is produced by:
a. Hyperemia
b. Scar tissue
c. Hyperplasia
d. Infarction
ANS: A
This hyperemia produces the heat and redness associated with inflammation.
REF: p. 3
• In an injury, the destroyed tissue is replaced with:
a. Granulomatous inflammation
b. Granulation tissue
c. Phagocytes
d. Pyogens
ANS: B
A fibrous scar replaces the area of destroyed tissue with granulation tissue. Granulation
tissue refersto a combination of young, developing capillaries and actively proliferating
fibroblasts, which produce connective tissue fibers (collagen) that replace the dead tissue.
, REF: p. 4
• Of the five clinical signs of acute inflammation, the medical term for swelling is:
a. Edema
b. Tumor
c. Calor
d. Dolor
ANS: B
The five clinical signs of acute inflammation are rubor (redness), calor (heat), tumor
(swelling), dolor(pain), and loss of function.
REF: p. 4
• Some bacterial organisms that produce these substances that cause damage to the tissue
and incitethe inflammatory process are known as:
a. Toxoids
b. Pyogens
c. Toxins
d. Abscesses
ANS: C
Some bacterial organisms (such as staphylococci and streptococci) produce toxins that
damage thetissues and incite an inflammatory response.
REF: p. 4
• Chronic inflammation in a localized area, which often has a centralized necrosis is called:
a. An exudates
b. A granuloma
