Question 8.
condition in which venous circulation is inadequate due to partial vein blockage or
leakage of venous valves; primarily affects feet and ankles; discoloration of the skin.
Makes it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs
,Correct Answer: chronic venous insufficiency/ venous insufficiency
• Pituitary adenoma usually benign and slow growing. arise from the anterior
pituitary. -✓✓Hyperpituitarism
Question 9.
endocrine disorder. occurs when the pituitary gland produces an excessive amount of
growth hormone after the completion of puberty
Correct Answer: Acromegaly
Question 10.
Slowly progressive disease. Connective tissue proliferation. Hypersecretion of growth
hormone
Correct Answer: hypothyroidism
Question 11.
-automimune thyroiditis (Hashimoto)
-Iatrogenic loss of thyroid tissue after surgical or radioactive treatment
Correct Answer: Hypothyroidism
Question 12.
poor concentration, memory, dementia, psychosis, coma
2. seizures
3. headaches (pseudotumor cerebri)
4. CN: papilledema, ptosis, tonic pupil, trigeminal neuralgia, facial palsy, tinnitus,
hearing loss
5. cerebellar ataxia: truncal + gait ataxia > limb ataxia, dysarthria, nystagmus
5. NMJ: myasthenia gravis
6. nerves: carpal tunnel, polyneuropathy, delayed DTR
Correct Answer: neurological manifestations of hypothyroidism
Question 13.
a common form of hyperthyroidism resulting from overproduction of thyroxine; caused
by a false immune system response (goiter is often formed). Antibodies to TSH receptor
that stimulate T3 and T4 production. Diffuse nontender goiter. Proptosis and extraocular
muscle dysfunction occurs in 50% of cases.
Correct Answer: Graves (or Graves') disease
• Type II hypersensitivity where there is stimulation of the thyroid by
antibodies directed against the TSH receptor
The gland results in hyperplasia of the gland (goiter). Increased synthesis of
TH - ✓✓Grave's Disease
, Question 14.
In the case of decreased production or excessive loss of albumin , the reduced oncotic
pressure leads to excessive movement of fluid and solutes into the tissues and
decreased blood volume.
Correct Answer: the effect of low plasma albumin
Question 15.
Albumin (approximately 60% of total plasma protein at a concentration of about 4 g/dl)
is the most abundant plasma protein.
Correct Answer: What is the most abundant class of plasma protein
Question 16.
Because it cannot undergo mitotic division, the erythrocyte has a limited life span of
approximately 120 days.
Correct Answer: erythrocytes
Question 17.
Basophils contain cytoplasmic granules that hold an abundant mixture of biochemical
mediators, including histamine, chemotactic factors, proteolytic enzymes, and an
anticoagulant (heparin)
Correct Answer: Granulocytes that contain granules of vasoactive amines,
such as histamine, are called
Question 18.
Platelets (thrombocytes) are not true cells but are disk-shaped cytoplasmic fragments
that are essential for blood coagulation and control of bleeding.
Correct Answer: formed elements of the blood that are not cells but are
disk-shaped cytoplasmic fragments essential for blood clotting
• Only monocytes migrate into a variety of tissues and fully mature into tissue
macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells -✓✓Blood cells that differentiate into
macrophages
Question 19.
A platelet circulates for approximately 10 days and ages. Macrophages of the
mononuclear phagocyte system, mostly in the spleen, remove platelets.
Correct Answer: the life span of platelets
