c. detachment of
ribosomes from rough
endoplasmic reticulum
d. release of lysosomal
enzymes
,Which of the following best B
describes reperfusion
injury?
a. The increased blood
pressure in the area of
reperfusion causes
rupture of small arterioles
and release of free
radicals.

to the area results in a
burst of free radical
production from
neutrophils that
accumulated in the area.
c. Reperfusion injury
results from restoration of
the function of the sodium-
potassium pump.
d. Reperfusion of the area
results in apoptosis of the
previously ischemic cells.

are normal products of
oxidative metabolism and
are removed by
endogenous antioxidants
