RAD 112 PATHOLOGY TERMS
EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
Paget's Disease - Answer-increase in bone cell activity, leads to new bone growth
Sclerosis - Answer-increase in hardening as a result of a chronic inflammation in bone
Anorexia Nervosa - Answer-psychological eating disorder, results in extreme weight
loss, overall decreasing body thickness
Atrophy - Answer-wasting away of the body tissue with diminished cell proliferation
Emaciation - Answer-wasting away of body tissue
Emphysema - Answer-overdistention of lung tissue by air, destruction of alveolar sacs
making it difficult to breathe
Pneumothorax - Answer-free air in pleural cavity displaces normal lung tissue
Aerophagia - Answer-psychological disorder resulting in abnormal swallowing of air,
stomach becomes dilated from air, overall density is decreased
Bowel obstruction - Answer-obstruction in the bowel results in abnormal accumulation of
air and fluid, if large amount of air is trapped, overall density is decreased
Active Osteomyelitis - Answer-loss of bone tissue, decreasing thickness and
composition of part
Aseptic Necrosis - Answer-death of bone tissue results in decrease in composition and
thickness
Carcinoma - Answer-malignancies in bone can cause osteolytic process, resulting in
decreased thickness
Degenerative Arthritis - Answer-inflammation of the joints result in deconstruction of
adjoining bone tissue
Fibrosarcoma - Answer-malignant tumor of metaphysis of bone causes osteolytic lesion
with "moth-eaten" appearance
