1. The characteristic, localized cardinal signs of acute inflammation include:
p p p p p p p p




A) fever.
B) fatigue.
C) redness.

D) granuloma.


2. The vascular, hemodynamic stage of acute inflammation is initiated by
p p p p p p p p p


momentary vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation that causes
p p p p p p p


localized:
p




A) bleeding.
B) congestion.

C) pale skin. p




D) coolness.


3. The cellular stage of acute inflammation is marked by the movement of
p p p p p p p p p p p


leukocytes into the area. Which of the following cells arrives early in great
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


numbers?
p




A) Basophils
B) Lymphocytes
C) Neutrophils
D) Platelets

4. The phagocytosis process involves three distinct steps. What is the initial
p p p p p p p p p p


step in the process?
p p p p




A) Engulfment

B) Intracellular killing p




C) Antigen margination p

,D) Recognition and adherence p p




5. Which of the following mediators of inflammation causes increased capillary
p p p p p p p p p


permeability and pain?
p p p




A) Serotonin

B) Histamine
C) Bradykinin
D) Nitric oxide p




6. Inflammatory exudates are a combination of several types. Which of the
p p p p p p p p p p


pfollowing exudates is composed of enmeshed necrotic cells?
p p p p p p p




A) Serous
B) Fibrinous
C) Suppurative

D) Membranous


7. The acute-phase systemic response usually begins within hours of the onset
p p p p p p p p p p


of inflammation and includes:
p p p p




A) fever and lethargy.
p p




B) decreased C-reactive protein. p p




C) positive nitrogen balance. p p




D) low erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

8. In contrast to acute inflammation, chronic inflammation is characterized by
p p p p p p p p p


pwhich of the following phenomena?
p p p p




A) Profuse fibrinous exudation p p




B) A shift to the left of granulocytes

C) Metabolic and respiratory alkalosis p p p




D) Lymphocytosis and activated macrophages p p p

, 9. Exogenous pyrogens (interleukin-1) and the presence of bacteria in the blood
p p p p p p p p p p


lead to the release of endogenous pyrogens that:
p p p p p p p p




A) stabilize thermal control in the brain.

B) produce leukocytosis and anorexia. p p p




C) block viral replication in cells.
