Chapter 1: Cellular Function
Multiple-Choice Questions
1. Which description correctly links cellular adaptation to altered physiologic function?
A. It is primarily caused by an isolated failure of hyperplasia.
B. It is defined by metaplasia, regardless of the clinical context.
C. Hypertrophy increases cell size in response to greater workload; hyperplasia
increases cell number.
D. It reflects apoptosis rather than a disease-related process.
Correct answer: C. Hypertrophy increases cell size in response to greater workload;
hyperplasia increases cell number.
Rationale: The myocardium enlarges because individual cardiomyocytes increase in
size; mature cardiac muscle has limited capacity for hyperplasia.
2. Which conclusion should an advanced practice nurse draw when applying this
principle: Hypertrophy increases cell size in response to greater workload; hyperplasia
increases cell number?
A. Necrosis: Membrane disruption in necrosis releases enzymes and damage-
associated signals that provoke inflammation.
B. Hypertrophy increases cell size in response to greater workload; hyperplasia
increases cell number
C. Reactive oxygen species can damage lipids, proteins, and DNA.
