SECTION 1: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
FOUNDATIONS & CLINICAL REASONING
1. A patient with chronic hypoxia due to COPD
develops an increase in red blood cell mass. This
cellular adaptation is best described as:
A) Atrophy
B) Hypertrophy
2
,C) Hyperplasia
D) Dysplasia
Answer: C
Rationale: Hyperplasia is an increase in the number
of cells in an organ or tissue. In response to chronic
hypoxia, the kidneys secrete more erythropoietin,
stimulating the bone marrow to produce more red
blood cells (polycythemia) to improve oxygen
transport. Atrophy (A) is a decrease in cell size.
Hypertrophy (B) is an increase in cell size.
Dysplasia (D) is disordered cell growth .
2. Which type of necrosis is characterized by the
digestion of dead tissue by bacterial enzymes,
resulting in a liquid, cream-colored discharge?
3
, A) Coagulative necrosis
B) Caseous necrosis
C) Liquefactive necrosis
D) Fat necrosis
Answer: C
Rationale: Liquefactive necrosis typically occurs in
the central nervous system due to bacterial infection
or ischemia. The dead tissue is digested by enzymes,
leaving a liquid cystic space. Coagulative necrosis
(A) is seen in hypoxic injury where tissue
architecture is preserved. Caseous necrosis (B) is
seen in TB and has a cheese-like appearance. Fat
necrosis (D) occurs in the breast/pancreas .
