TECHNOLOGISTS ACTUAL TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Autoimmune Disorders.
Answer: Disease in which antibodies form against and injure the
patient's own tissues, in contrast to the normal process in which
antibodies form in response to foreign antigens.
◉ Benign Neoplasm.
Answer: A localized tumor of well-differentiated cells that does not
invade surrounding tissue or metastasize to distant areas within the
body.
◉ Morphology.
Answer: The form and structure of disease
◉ Idiopathic.
Answer: Having no identifiable causative factor.
◉ If 4000 cases of a given disease are found in a given population,
the _______ of the disease is defined.
,Answer: Prevalence
◉ Degenerative.
Answer: Refers to deterioration of the body usually associated with
the aging process.
◉ Diagnosis.
Answer: The name of a disease an individual is believed to have.
◉ Disease.
Answer: Any abnormal disturbance of the normal function or
structure of a body part, organ, or system; may display a variety of
manifestations.

termed:.
Answer: Morbidity

Answer: The prolapse of a segment of bowel into a distal segment
◉ Lesion.
,Answer: General term used to describe the various types of cellular
changes that can occur in response to a disease
◉ Leukemia.
Answer: A malignant disease of the leukocytes and their precursor
cells in blood and bone marrow
◉ A neoplasticism growth is evaluated to determine its degree of
histologic differentiation. This is termed:.
Answer: Grading

the genome differs between members of a biological species or
paired chromosomes in an individual.
Answer: SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS (SNPs)
◉ Sarcoma.
Answer: A type of tumor, often highly malignant, composed of a
substance similar to embryonic connective tissue
◉ SEEDING.
Answer: Traveling of cancerous cells to a distant site or distant
organ

physician during examination.
Answer: SIGN

steroid treatments for pain reduction of arthritis would be an
example of ____________ disease..
Answer: Iatrogenic
◉ Carcinoma.
Answer: A malignant growth composed of epithelial cells that tends
to invade surrounding tissues and give rise to metastasis
◉ Chronic.
Answer: Presenting slowly and persisting over a long period of time
◉ Congenital.
Answer: Existing at, and usually before, birth and resulting from
genetic or environmental factors
