ENV MED - QUIZ 4 (WK 5) TOXICOLOGY & HOW POISONS HURT US EXAMS WITH
100% CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS UPDATED 2025/2026 BEST RATED A+ FOR
SUCCESS
Regarding Adaptation-Maladaptation theory, in Stage 2A the body stops experiencing alarm
symptoms because its systems of coping with the poison have been inductively enabled, hence
the poison can't sit around in the tissue long enough to have a toxic effect. This could put the
individual at risk, if the individual takes this disappearance of symptoms as a signal that the
poison is no longer present.
True
False CORRECT ANSWERS
True
Spreading and Switching Phenomena are
an example of the body getting stuck in a chronic, over-active alarm or reactive state.
likely to paint a symptom picture that does not fit the pathologies and differential diagnoses we
are accustomed to.
manifestations of complex and partially understood alterations in membrane function, neuro-
immune signaling, and compartmentalization of inflammation.
thought to stem from chronic exposure to one or multiple accumulated environmental toxins.
all choices are correct. CORRECT ANSWERS
all choices are correct.
Which one of the following is true?
That's backwards; metallothionein is an intracellular protein, and selenoproteins are
extracellular in origin.
Metallothionein is an extracelluar protein that captures mercury and makes it less interactive
and toxic.
Selenoproteins are intracellular proteins that capture mercury and make it less interactive and
toxic.
