Foundations of Pathophysiology
1.
Which term describes the study of functional changes that
occur when an individual develops a disease?
A. Anatomy
B. Physiology
C. Pathophysiology
D. Histology
Answer: C. Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology examines functional changes associated
with disease or abnormal conditions.
,2.
Which cellular process allows a cell to maintain a relatively
stable internal environment?
A. Apoptosis
B. Homeostasis
C. Necrosis
D. Differentiation
Answer: B. Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal
environment despite external or internal changes.
3.
A patient develops a fever during an infection. Which
mechanism primarily regulates the elevated temperature?
A. Positive feedback
B. Negative feedback
C. Osmosis
D. Filtration
Answer: B. Negative feedback
Negative feedback mechanisms counteract deviations from a
set point and help restore physiologic balance.
4.
Which finding represents cellular adaptation rather than
irreversible injury?
A. Cell rupture
B. Coagulative necrosis
,C. Hypertrophy
D. Membrane destruction
Answer: C. Hypertrophy
Hypertrophy is an adaptive increase in cell size that can occur
in response to increased workload.
5.
A skeletal muscle increases in size after resistance training.
Which adaptation has occurred?
A. Hyperplasia
B. Hypertrophy
C. Atrophy
D. Metaplasia
Answer: B. Hypertrophy
Hypertrophy involves enlargement of existing cells.
6.
Which process involves an increase in the number of cells?
A. Hypertrophy
B. Atrophy
C. Hyperplasia
D. Metaplasia
Answer: C. Hyperplasia
Hyperplasia is an increase in cell number caused by increased
cellular proliferation.
7.
, Which cellular adaptation occurs when a mature cell type is
replaced by another mature cell type?
A. Dysplasia
B. Metaplasia
C. Hypertrophy
D. Atrophy
Answer: B. Metaplasia
Metaplasia is a reversible substitution of one differentiated
cell type for another.
8.
Which process is considered programmed cell death?
A. Necrosis
B. Apoptosis
C. Autolysis
D. Ischemia
Answer: B. Apoptosis
Apoptosis is regulated, programmed cell death that generally
occurs without significant inflammation.
9.
Which finding is most characteristic of necrosis?
A. Controlled cellular deletion
B. Lack of inflammation
C. Cell membrane disruption
D. Normal cellular architecture
Answer: C. Cell membrane disruption
