D) increased surface receptors. o o
7. Reversible adaptive intracellular responses are initiated by:
o o o o o o

8. Injured cells become very swollen as a result of:
o o o o o o o o
A) increased cell protein synthesis. o o o
B) altered cell volume regulation. o o o
C) passive entry of potassium into the cell. o o o o o o
D) bleb formation in the plasma membrane.

Adiabetic patient has impaired sensation, circulation, and oxygenation of his feet. He steps on a
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
piece of glass, the wound does not heal, and the area tissue becomes necrotic. The necrotic cell
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
9. death is characterized by:
o o o o
A) rapid apoptosis. o
B) cellular rupture. o
C) shrinkage and collapse. o o
D) chronic inflammation. o
A 99-year-old woman has experienced the decline of cell function associated with age. A group of
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
10. theories of cellular aging focus on programmed:
o o o o o o o
A) changes with genetic influences. o o o
B) elimination of cell receptor sites. o o o o
C) insufficient telomerase enzyme. o o
o o D) DNA mutation or faulty repair. o o o o

o o o o o o o o o o o o
during a 3-week hospital stay for the treatment of a femoral head fracture. Which of
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
the following phenomena most likely accounts for the patients decrease in muscle function that
o o o o o o o o o o o o o
11. underlies her reduced mobility?
o o o o
A) Impaired muscle cell metabolism resulting from metaplasia o o o o o o
B) Dysplasia as a consequence of inflammation during bone remodeling o o o o o o o o
C) Disuse atrophy of muscle cells during a prolonged period of immobility
o o o o o o o o o o
D) Ischemic atrophy resulting from vascular changes while on bedrest o o o o o o o o
, A 20-year-old college student has presented to her campus medical clinic for a scheduled
o o o o o o o o o o o o o
Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. The clinician who will interpret the smear will examine cell samples
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
12. for evidence of:
o o o
A) changes in cell shape, size, and organization. o o o o o o
B) the presence of unexpected cell types.
o o o o o
o o C) ischemic changes in cell samples. o o o o
D) abnormally high numbers of cells in a specified field. o o o o o o o o
