What term is used to denote a disease in which the underlying cause is unknown? a. Idiopathic b. Ant etiologic 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 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.

Hyperplasia ANSWER: B A granuloma is a localized area of chronic inflammation, often with central necrosis. REF: p. 4 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 of injury. 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, which contains dead white blood cells, inflammatory exudates, and bacteria. REF: p. 4
