MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A disease process caused by physicians or their treatment is this type of process.
a. Idiopathic
b. Iatrogenic
c. Neoplasia
d. Community acquired
ANSWER: B
The disease process caused by physicians and their treatment is iatrogenic.
REF: p. 3
2. Basic reactions of the body to some form of injury is a:
a. Disease process
b. Pathology
c. Study of diseases
d. Idiopathic process
ANSWER: A
A disease is the pattern of the body’s response to some form of injury.
REF: p. 1
, Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
3. What term is used to denote a disease in which the underlying cause is unknown?
a. Idiopathic
b. Antietiologic
c. Iatrogenic
d. Nosocomial
ANSWER: A
Idiopathic diseases are those with an unknown, or as of yet unidentified, cause.
REF: p. 3
4. Alterations of cell growth, specifically an abnormal proliferation of cells is called:
a. Hyperplasia
b. Dysplasia
c. Neoplasia
d. Aplasia
ANSWER: C
Alterations in cell growth lead to the development of neoplasms (tumors).
REF: p. 7
5. The initial response of body tissues to local injury is:
a. Infection
b. Ischemia
c. Edema
d. Inflammation
ANSWER: D
Inflammation is the initial response of body tissues to local injury.
, Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
REF: p. 3
6. Heat and redness associated with inflammation is produced by:
a. Hyperemia
b. Scar tissue
c. Hyperplasia
d. Infarction
ANSWER: A
This hyperemia produces the heat and redness associated with inflammation.
REF: p. 3
7. In an injury, the destroyed tissue is replaced with:
a. Granulomatous inflammation
b. Granulation tissue
c. Phagocytes
d. Pyogens
ANSWER: B
A fibrous scar replaces the area of destroyed tissue with granulation tissue. Granulation tissue
refersiito a combination of young, developing capillaries and actively proliferating fibroblasts,
which produce connective tissue fibers (collagen) that replace the dead tissue.
REF: p. 4
8. Of the five clinical signs of acute inflammation, the medical term for swelling is:
a. Edema
b. Tumor
c. Calor
, Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
d. Dolor
ANSWER: B
The five clinical signs of acute inflammation are rubor (redness), calor (heat), tumor (swelling),
dolor(pain), and loss of function.
REF: p. 4
9. Some bacterial organisms that produce these substances that cause damage to the tissue and
inciteiithe inflammatory process are known as:
a. Toxoids
b. Pyogens
c. Toxins
d. Abscesses
ANSWER: C
Some bacterial organisms (such as staphylococci and streptococci) produce toxins that
damage thetissues and incite an inflammatory response.
REF: p. 4
10. Chronic inflammation in a localized area, which often has a centralized necrosis is called:
a. An exudates
b. A granuloma
c. An abscess
d. Hyperplasia
ANSWER: B
A granuloma is a localized area of chronic inflammation, often with central necrosis.
REF: p. 4
, Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
11. In acute inflammation, the localized heat and redness are a result of the:
a. Migration of circulating white blood cells
b. Increased blood flow and vascular permeability
c. Regeneration of normal parenchymal cells
d. Enzymatic digestion of dead cells
ANSWER: B
The localized heat and redness result from increased blood flow in the microcirculation at the
site ofinjury.
REF: p. 4
12. In pyogenic infections, the body responds by producing a thick, yellow fluid called:
a. Bacteria
b. Pus
c. Edema
d. A scar
ANSWER: B
The presence of pyogenic bacteria leads to the production of a thick, yellow fluid called
pus, whichcontains dead white blood cells, inflammatory exudates, and bacteria.
REF: p. 4
13. All pyogens have the ability to enter the blood circulation causing:
a. Bacteremia
b. Phagocytosis
c. Septicemia
d. Keloid tissue
, Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
ANSWER: A
All pyogens, wherever they become implanted, have the ability to invade blood vessels to
producebacteremia, with the potential involvement of other organs and tissues in the body.
REF: p. 4
14. Connective tissue fibers replacing dead tissue, then contracting in the abdomen are known as:
a. Keloids
b. Suppurative inflammation
c. Fibrous adhesions
d. Hyperemia
ANSWER: C
Eventually the strong connective tissue contracts to produce a fibrous scar. In the
abdomen, suchiifibrous adhesions can narrow loops of intestine and result in an obstruction.
REF: p. 4
15. An accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the intercellular tissue throughout the
body isiicalled:
a. Bacteremia
b. Elephantiasis
c. Filariasis
d. Anasarca
ANSWER: D
Generalized edema occurs with pronounced swelling of subcutaneous tissues throughout the
body(anasarca).
REF: p. 4
16. Localized is produced in an inflammatory reaction as a result of a fluid accumulation.
