MCA1: Exam 1 questions with complete
answers 2025.
Local Manifestations of Inflammation (11-3) - ANSWER: Rubor: Redness
Calor: Heat
Dolor: Pain
Tumor: Swelling
Loss of Function
Inflammation: Vascular Response - ANSWER: Initial vasoconstriction followed by
vasodilation/permeability due to mediators (histamine)
Inflammation: Cellular Response - ANSWER: Neutrophils arrive first: phagocytose
bacteria and foreign objects
Monocytes arrive later: mature into macrophages and clean up area
Lymphocytes eventually arrive: humoral and cell mediated immunity
Tertiary intention - ANSWER: Delayed closure
ie. dog bite
Let puncture woulds air out, ensure no infection, then debride and suture
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Adhesions - ANSWER: Scar tissue between
and around organs
Usually abdominal, can cause obstructions
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Contractions - ANSWER: Normal part of
healing
, Can be an excessive shortening of muscles and joints
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Dehiscence - ANSWER: Separation and
disruption of previously joined wound edges
Causes: infection inflammation, weak granulation tissue, obesity (adipose heals slower),
seroma/hematoma between tissue
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Evisceration - ANSWER: Wound edges
separate to the extent that intestines protrude through
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Excess Granulation Tissue - ANSWER: "Proud
Flesh"
Grows above surface
Can be cauterized or cut off
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Fistula Formation - ANSWER: Abnormal
passage
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Infection - ANSWER: Increased risk: necrotic
tissue, ischemia, immunocompromised, undernutrition, multiple stressors,
hyperglycemia
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Hemorrhage - ANSWER: Causes: suture
failure, clotting abnormalities, dislodged clot, infection, vessel erosion (from tubes or
lines)
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Hypertrophic Scarring - ANSWER:
Overabundance of collagen produced in healing
Complications of Wound Healing (11-7): Keloid Formation - ANSWER: Tumor-like
masses of scar tissue
Active Acquired Immunity - ANSWER: Ab develop from invasion of foreign bodies
Long lasting immunity
Can be natural or through vaccination: "injecting the Ag, make your own Ig"
ie. Chickenpox
