Chapter 1: Variation and disease
1. Which group of the following physiological changes are all associated with raised
glucocorticoid secretion in the long-lasting stress response?
a. raised amino acid levels in blood, immunosuppression, reduced fatty acid levels
b. raised white cells, increased ketone levels, increased calcium excretion
c. raised plasma glucose, negative nitrogen balance, decreased white cell count
d. fall in blood glucose levels, increased nitrogen excretion in urine, increased extracellular
fluid
Ans: C
2. Which of the following clinical changes are not all associated with ageing?
a. reduced vulnerability to antigens, drug metabolism maintained at normal level,
osteoporosis
b. enhanced oxygen saturation, impaired balance and risk of falls, increased risk of infection
c. drug metabolism maintained at normal level, reduced exercise tolerance, increased risk of
infection
d. osteoporosis, fluid balance impaired, loss of high-tone hearing
Ans: D
3. Achieving a diagnosis is important in PCP. Which of the following is the least relevant
processes in medical diagnosis
a. psychological testing for patient support
b. history taking – importance of information about the individual and the family to help to
identify the disease and its presentation
c. physical examination – to identify the changes in physiological functioning
d. tests to clarify specific anatomical, physiological, biochemical changes which help to
determine specific changes
