1. The characteristic, localized cardinal signs of acute inflammation include:
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
A) fever.
B) fatigue.
C) redness.
D) granuloma.
2.
The vascular, hemodynamic stage of acute inflammation is initiated by
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
momentary vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation that causes localized:
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
A) bleeding.
B) congestion.
C) pale skin. 1i
D) coolness.
3.
The cellular stage of acute inflammation is marked by the movement of l
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
eukocytes into the area. Which of the following cells arrives early in great
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
numbers?
A) Basophils
B) Lymphocytes
C) Neutrophils
D) Platelets
4.
The phagocytosis process involves three distinct steps. What is the init
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
ial step in the process?
1i 1i 1i 1i

5.
Which of the following mediators of inflammation causes increased capill
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
ary permeability and pain?
1i 1i 1i
A) Serotonin
B) Histamine
C) Bradykinin

6.
Inflammatory exudates are a combination of several types. Which of t
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i

1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
A) Serous
B) Fibrinous
C) Suppurative
D) Membranous
7. The acute- 1i
phase systemic response usually begins within hours of the onset of inflam
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
mation and includes: 1i 1i
A) fever and lethargy. 1i 1i

In contrast to acute inflammation, chronic inflammation is characterized
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
by which of the following phenomena?
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
, A) Profuse fibrinous exudation 1i 1i

D) Lymphocytosis and activated macrophages 1i 1i 1i
9. Exogenous pyrogens (interleukin- 1i 1i
1) and the presence of bacteria in the blood lead to the release of endogenou
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
s pyrogens that:
1i 1i
A) stabilize thermal control in the brain. 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
B) produce leukocytosis and anorexia. 1i 1i 1i
C) block viral replication in cells.
1i 1i 1i 1i
D) inhibit prostaglandin release.1i 1i
