Test Bank
ANSWER: A
MULTIPLE CHOICE Idiopathic diseases are those with an unknown, or as of yet unidentified, cause.
1. A disease process caused by physicians or their treatment is this type of process. REF: p. 3
a. Idiopathic
b. Iatrogenic 4. Alterations of cell growth, specifically an abnormal proliferation of cells is called:
c. Neoplasia a. Hyperplasia
d. Community acquired b. Dysplasia
c. Neoplasia
ANSWER: B d. Aplasia
The disease process caused by physicians and their treatment is iatrogenic.
ANSWER: C
REF: p. 3 Alterations in cell growth lead to the development of neoplasms (tumors).
2. Basic reactions of the body to some form of injury is a: REF: p. 7
a. Disease process
b. Pathology 5. The initial response of body tissues to local injury is:
c. Study of diseases a. Infection
d. Idiopathic process b. Ischemia
c. Edema
ANSWER: A d. Inflammation
A disease is the pattern of the body’s response to some form of injury.
ANSWER: D
REF: p. 1 Inflammation is the initial response of body tissues to local injury.
, d. Dolor
REF: p. 3
ANSWER: B
6. Heat and redness associated with inflammation is produced by: The five clinical signs of acute inflammation are rubor (redness), calor (heat), tumor (swelling), dolor
(pain), and loss of function.
a. Hyperemia
b. Scar tissue
c. Hyperplasia REF: p. 4
d. Infarction
9. Some bacterial organisms that produce these substances that cause damage to the tissue and incite
the inflammatory process are known as:
ANSWER: A
a. Toxoids
This hyperemia produces the heat and redness associated with inflammation.
b. Pyogens
c. Toxins
REF: p. 3
d. Abscesses
7. In an injury, the destroyed tissue is replaced with:
ANSWER: C
a. Granulomatous inflammation
Some bacterial organisms (such as staphylococci and streptococci) produce toxins that damage the
b. Granulation tissue tissues and incite an inflammatory response.
c. Phagocytes
d. Pyogens REF: p. 4
ANSWER: B 10. Chronic inflammation in a localized area, which often has a centralized necrosis is called:
A fibrous scar replaces the area of destroyed tissue with granulation tissue. Granulation tissue refers a. An exudates
to a combination of young, developing capillaries and actively proliferating fibroblasts, which
b. A granuloma
produce connective tissue fibers (collagen) that replace the dead tissue.
c. An abscess
d. Hyperplasia
REF: p. 4
8. Of the five clinical signs of acute inflammation, the medical term for swelling is: ANSWER: B
A granuloma is a localized area of chronic inflammation, often with central necrosis.
a. Edema
b. Tumor
c. Calor REF: p. 4
, ANSWER: A
11. In acute inflammation, the localized heat and redness are a result of the: All pyogens, wherever they become implanted, have the ability to invade blood vessels to produce
bacteremia, with the potential involvement of other organs and tissues in the body.
a. Migration of circulating white blood cells
b. Increased blood flow and vascular permeability
REF: p. 4
c. Regeneration of normal parenchymal cells
d. Enzymatic digestion of dead cells
14. Connective tissue fibers replacing dead tissue, then contracting in the abdomen are known as:
a. Keloids
ANSWER: B
b. Suppurative inflammation
The localized heat and redness result from increased blood flow in the microcirculation at the site of
injury. c. Fibrous adhesions
d. Hyperemia
REF: p. 4
ANSWER: C
12. In pyogenic infections, the body responds by producing a thick, yellow fluid called: Eventually the strong connective tissue contracts to produce a fibrous scar. In the abdomen, such
fibrous adhesions can narrow loops of intestine and result in an obstruction.
a. Bacteria
b. Pus
REF: p. 4
c. Edema
d. A scar
15. An accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the intercellular tissue throughout the body is
called:
ANSWER: B a. Bacteremia
The presence of pyogenic bacteria leads to the production of a thick, yellow fluid called pus, which b. Elephantiasis
contains dead white blood cells, inflammatory exudates, and bacteria.
c. Filariasis
d. Anasarca
REF: p. 4
ANSWER: D
13. All pyogens have the ability to enter the blood circulation causing:
Generalized edema occurs with pronounced swelling of subcutaneous tissues throughout the body
a. Bacteremia
(anasarca).
b. Phagocytosis
c. Septicemia
REF: p. 4
d. Keloid tissue
16. Localized is produced in an inflammatory reaction as a result of a fluid accumulation.
