and contains cell debris, numerous leukocytes, and microorganisms is called:
Purulent exudate
Serous exudate
Fibrinous exudate
Hemorrhagic exudate - ✔✔Purulent exudate
✔✔Increased numbers of _______________ usually indicate an allergic reaction or a
parasitic infection.
basophils
t-lymphocytes
erythrocytes
eosinophils - ✔✔eosinophils
✔✔An open, painful, usually craterlike sore that often results from a severe or
prolonged inflammation is called:
An abscess
An ulcer
A granuloma
A tumor - ✔✔An ulcer
✔✔Suppuration refers to:
The formation or discharge of pus
Inflammation of muscle fibers
Reddening of inflamed area
,Destruction of microbes by phagocytic cells - ✔✔The formation or discharge of pus
✔✔A small nodular area of cells and/or debris that forms in injured tissue that becomes
chronically inflamed is called:
An abscess
An ulcer
A granuloma
A cyst - ✔✔A granuloma
✔✔COX-2 inhibitors (such as Celebrex) and ibuprofen are examples of what category
of drugs used to treat inflammation?
Glucocorticoids
NSAIDs
Antibiotics
Corticosteroids - ✔✔NSAIDs
✔✔This group of drugs consists of natural or synthetic steroids (such as hydrocortisone)
that are extensively used in the treatment of various inflammatory disorders but that
also have significant undesirable side effects such as promoting osteoporosis.
Glucocorticoids
NSAIDs
Cholesterol
Glycogens - ✔✔Glucocorticoids
✔✔The type of healing that occurs in damaged tissue where cells undergo mitosis and
the damaged tissue is replaced by identical tissue (same structure and function) is
called:
Resolution
Replacement
Restructuring
Regeneration - ✔✔Regeneration
✔✔When scar tissue restricts the range of movement in a joint, which may eventually
result in fixation or a deformity of the joint, this is referred to as:
A restriction
An adhesion
A contracture
An ischemia - ✔✔A contracture
✔✔Bands of scar tissue joining two surfaces that are normally separated are called:
, Adhesions
Contractions
Lesions
Ligatures - ✔✔Adhesions
✔✔A thermal burn that involves the epidermis and part of the dermis is classified as a:
First-degree burn
Second-degree burn
Third-degree burn
Fourth-degree burn - ✔✔Second-degree burn
✔✔One of the additional effects of a burn can be a reduction of hematopoesis, which is
a reduction of:
The recycling of damaged erythrocytes
The production of only white blood cells in the marrow
The production of liver cells
The production of all blood cells in the marrow - ✔✔The production of all blood cells in
the marrow
✔✔The growth of children is often affected during the acute phase of burn recovery due
to:
Excessive pain
Compromised metabolic needs
Shortened muscles and tendons
Psychosomatic complications - ✔✔Compromised metabolic needs
✔✔A method for rapid calculation of the percentage of the body affected by burns that
assigns a numerical value to body parts and regions is called the:
Rule of Nines
Body Surface Area Index
Sectional Body Estimate
Body Mass Index - ✔✔Rule of Nines
✔✔Any agent that can bind to a component of the immune system and activate an
immune reaction is referred to as an:
Antigen
Antibody
