Practice Questions (21 Items)
1. Which cellular change is reversible?
A. Necrosis
B. Apoptosis
C. Hypertrophy
D. Gangrene
✔ Answer: C
Rationale: Hypertrophy is an adaptive increase in cell size and is reversible if the stimulus is removed.
Necrosis and gangrene are irreversible cell death processes.
2. Atrophy is best defined as:
A. Increase in cell number
B. Increase in cell size
C. Decrease in cell size
D. Transformation into cancer cells
✔ Answer: C
Rationale: Atrophy is shrinkage of cells due to decreased workload, blood supply, or nutrition.
3. Hyperplasia refers to:
A. Cell enlargement
B. Increased cell number
C. Cell death
D. Cell mutation
✔ Answer: B
Rationale: Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells due to hormonal or compensatory
stimuli.
4. Metaplasia is:
A. Cancer formation
B. Reversible replacement of one mature cell type with another
C. Cell death
D. Irreversible injury
, ✔ Answer: B
Rationale: Metaplasia is adaptive but may predispose to malignancy if persistent.
5. Which process is programmed cell death?
A. Necrosis
B. Apoptosis
C. Gangrene
D. Infarction
✔ Answer: B
Rationale: Apoptosis is controlled, energy-dependent cell death without inflammation.
6. Necrosis is characterized by:
A. No inflammation
B. Cell shrinkage only
C. Cell swelling and inflammation
D. Genetic control
✔ Answer: C
Rationale: Necrosis causes membrane rupture and inflammation.
7. A major cause of reversible cell injury is:
A. DNA mutation
B. ATP depletion
C. Cell division
D. Hyperplasia
✔ Answer: B
Rationale: ATP depletion leads to loss of cellular function but may be reversible.
8. Irreversible cell injury occurs when:
A. Mitochondria recover
B. Membrane damage becomes severe
C. Hyperplasia occurs
D. Oxygen increases
✔ Answer: B
Rationale: Severe membrane damage leads to irreversible injury and death.
9. Fatty change in the liver is called:
