Radiologic Pathology
Abscess correct answers a localized, usually encapsulated, collection of pus
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) correct answers a profound and
sustained impairment of cellular immunity that results in recurrent or sequential
opportunistic infections and a particularly aggressive form of Kaposi's sarcoma
Active immunity correct answers a person forms antibodies to counteract an antigen in
the form of a vaccine or a toxoid
Anaphylactic correct answers critical reactions that can cause death and are
characterized by hypotension and vascular collapse (shock) with urticaria (hives),
bronchiolar spasm, and laryngeal edema
Anaplastic correct answers without form (cells)
Anasarca correct answers generalized edema that occurs with pronounced swelling of
subcutaneous tissues throughout the body
Antibodies correct answers body's counteraction to control antigens
Antigens correct answers body's ability to recognize foreign substances produced by
living organisms
Atrophy correct answers a reduction in the size or number of cells in an organ or tissue,
with a corresponding decrease in function
Autosomes correct answers all chromosomes except gender
Bacteremia correct answers bacteria spread through the circulatory system
Cancers correct answers collectively, malignant tumors
Benign correct answers tumors that closely resemble their cells of origin in structure
and function, remain localized
Carcinomas correct answers malignant neoplasms of epithelial cell origin
Community acquired correct answers infections contracted outside the healthcare
facility
Dominant gene correct answers genes that always produce an effect
, Dysplasia correct answers a loss in the uniformity of individual cells
Edema correct answers the accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the
intercellular tissue spaces or body cavities
Vaccine correct answers consists of a low dose of dead or deactivated bacteria or
viruses
Elephantiasis correct answers localized edema
Grading correct answers assessment of a tumor to determine the degree of
aggressiveness or malignancy
Granulation tissue correct answers a combination of young developing capillaries and
actively proliferating fibroblasts, which produce connective tissue fibers (collagen) that
replace the dead tissue
Hematogenous spread correct answers tumor cells spread by means of the
bloodstream
Hematoma correct answers blood that is trapped within body tissues
Hemorrhage correct answers rupture of a blood vessel

Hyperplasia correct answers an increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ
Iatrogenic correct answers diseases caused by physicians and their treatment
Idiopathic correct answers underlying cause of disease is unknown
Immune correct answers reaction of the body provides a powerful defense against
invading organisms
Infarct correct answers a localized area of ischemic necrosis within a tissue or organ
produced by occlusion of either its arterial supply or its venous drainage.
Inflammation correct answers the initial response of body tissues to local injury (blood
flow, migration of white cells, digestion of dead cells, and tissue and repair)
