"My doctor said I have a fat liver!" shouts Mr. Jabbe. "I'd like to punch him right in his mouth.
He keeps nagging me too!" Before you respond to Mr. Jabbe, you should consider what
pathophysiological process may be occurring and why Mr. Jabbe might be so angry. Which of
the following is the most likely?
A. Fat necrosis from liver abscess (infection); the doctor may have tried to discuss the need for
an operation.
B. Liver hyperplasia from excessive drug metabolism; the doctor may have tried to discuss illicit
drug use.
C. Fatty change from excessive alcohol use; the doctor may have tried to discuss reducing his
alcohol intake.
D. Atrophied liver after damage from hepatitis; the doctor may have tried to discuss the
possibility of death. - CORRECT ANSWER - Fatty change from excessive alcohol use;
the doctor may have tried to discuss reducing his alcohol intake
Restoration of oxygen to oxygen-deprived tissues can cause:
A. reperfusion injury.
B. ischemic injury.
C. traumatic injury.
D. hypoxic injury. - CORRECT ANSWER - reperfusion injury
Susan Skater, age 12, is scheduled to have the cast removed from her broken arm this afternoon.
As anticipatory teaching, you should explain to her that her arm probably will look different
when the cast is removed because you know that it probably will be:
, A. enlarged, due to muscle hypertrophy from increased hormonal stimulation.
B. scarred, due to dysplasia from the cast rubbing it.
C. shrunken, due to muscle atrophy from lack of use.
D. discolored, due to hemosiderin deposits. - CORRECT ANSWER - C. shrunken, due to
muscle atrophy from lack of use.
Which of the following can cause free radical damage?
A. Dysplasia
B. Antioxidants and vitamin E
C. Metaplasia
D. Radiation and ethanol - CORRECT ANSWER - Radiation and ethanol
Which of the following is likely to cause coagulative necrosis?
A. Ischemic injury to neurons
B. Tuberculosis infection of the lungs
C. Injury to breast, pancreas, and other abdominal organs
D. Hypoxic injury to the heart, kidneys, and adrenal glands - CORRECT ANSWER - D.
Hypoxic injury to the heart, kidneys, and adrenal glands
The process by which cells program themselves to die is called:
A. hemosiderosis.
B. apoptosis.
C. necrosis.
D. pyknosis. - CORRECT ANSWER - apoptosis
