PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 7TH EDITION
EXAMINATION TEST 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ Differentiated cancer cells . Answer: Less likely to be aggressive.
Anaplasia, lack of differentiation, correlates with more aggressive
malignant tumors.
◉ Endemic disease . Answer: Common in a community, with little
change from year to year.
◉ Infectivity . Answer: Ability of a pathogen to invade and multiply
within a host.
◉ Most common disease transmission method . Answer: Exchange of
body fluids (droplet) from kissing or sexual intercourse.
◉ Effective immune function . Answer: Most likely in a 30-year-old
individual.
◉ Bacterial characteristic . Answer: Contains cell wall endotoxin.
, ◉ Fungal infections term . Answer: Mycoses, caused by fungi.
◉ Drug resistance cause . Answer: Chance mutations of microbes in
response to a change in the host's environment.
◉ Dietary zinc importance . Answer: Maintains natural killer cell
function, lymphocyte activity, neutrophil function, and complement
activity.
◉ Immunization characteristics . Answer: Includes immediate immunity
from preformed antibodies, herd immunity, and risk of epidemic without
immunization.
◉ Increased infection risk factors . Answer: Use of corticosteroids,
diabetes mellitus, spleen removal, and stress.
◉ Antigen-presenting cells function . Answer: Display foreign antigen
on their cell surfaces bound to MHC for T cell recognition.
◉ Complement cascade activation . Answer: Classical pathway
triggered by activation of C3.
◉ Activation of C3 . Answer: Initiates the alternative pathway;
triggered by IgG or IgM antigen-antibody complexes.
