CHAPTER 1: CELL INJURY, CELL DEATH, AND
ADAPTATIONS
1. Which of the following is most likely to result in irreversible
cell injury?
A. Mild hypoxia
B. Moderate oxidative stress
C. Severe mitochondrial dysfunction
D. Brief inflammation
Correct Answer: C
, Rationale: Severe mitochondrial dysfunction is critical for
irreversible cell injury, leading to energy depletion and
activation of cell death pathways.
2. A patient with severe burns develops systemic inflammation.
Which of the following cellular adaptations is most likely to
occur?
A. Apoptosis
B. Atrophy
C. Hypertrophy
D. Metaplasia
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Severe burns can lead to apoptosis, a programmed
form of cell death, due to cellular damage from inflammatory
responses.
3. Which of the following is a hallmark of necrosis?
A. Regulated cell death
B. Energy-dependent process
C. Cell membrane rupture and inflammation
D. Activation of survival pathways
