1. Which term describes a functional or structural change in
the body caused by disease?
A. Etiology
B. Pathogenesis
C. Pathophysiology
D. Epidemiology
Correct answer: C. Pathophysiology
Rationale: Pathophysiology examines functional changes
associated with disease or injury.
2. What is the term for the cause or origin of a disease?
A. Etiology
B. Prognosis
C. Manifestation
D. Sequela
Correct answer: A. Etiology
Rationale: Etiology refers to the underlying cause or causes of a
disease.
, 3. Which process describes the sequence of events involved
in the development of a disease?
A. Homeostasis
B. Pathogenesis
C. Adaptation
D. Compensation
Correct answer: B. Pathogenesis
Rationale: Pathogenesis is the mechanism and sequence
through which a disease develops.
4. Which condition exists when the body's internal
environment remains relatively stable?
A. Inflammation
B. Homeostasis
C. Hypertrophy
D. Necrosis
Correct answer: B. Homeostasis
Rationale: Homeostasis maintains relatively stable internal
conditions despite external changes.
5. Which type of cellular adaptation involves an increase in
cell size?
A. Hyperplasia
B. Atrophy
C. Hypertrophy
D. Metaplasia
,Correct answer: C. Hypertrophy
Rationale: Hypertrophy increases the size of individual cells.
6. Which cellular adaptation involves an increase in the
number of cells?
A. Hyperplasia
B. Hypertrophy
C. Atrophy
D. Dysplasia
Correct answer: A. Hyperplasia
Rationale: Hyperplasia results from increased cell proliferation.
7. A decrease in cell size caused by reduced workload is
called:
A. Hypertrophy
B. Atrophy
C. Hyperplasia
D. Metaplasia
Correct answer: B. Atrophy
Rationale: Atrophy is a reduction in cellular size and sometimes
organ size.
8. Which process involves replacement of one mature cell
type with another mature cell type?
A. Dysplasia
B. Metaplasia
C. Necrosis
D. Apoptosis
, Correct answer: B. Metaplasia
Rationale: Metaplasia is a reversible adaptive substitution of
one differentiated cell type for another.
9. Which type of cell death is generally programmed and
controlled?
A. Necrosis
B. Apoptosis
C. Gangrene
D. Ischemia
Correct answer: B. Apoptosis
Rationale: Apoptosis is regulated programmed cell death that
usually does not produce significant inflammation.
10. Which feature is most characteristic of necrosis?
A. Controlled cellular removal
B. Absence of inflammation
C. Cell injury with inflammation
D. Normal cellular turnover
Correct answer: C. Cell injury with inflammation
Rationale: Necrosis results from severe cellular injury and
commonly triggers inflammation.
11. Which organelle is primarily responsible for
producing ATP?
A. Lysosome
B. Ribosome
