1. What is the primary purpose of inflammation?
A. To prevent blood clotting
B. To localize and remove injurious agents
C. To produce fever
D. To decrease immune response
Inflammation is the body's response to injury or infection. It serves to localize
damage, remove the cause, and begin the healing process.
2. Which term refers to programmed cell death?
A. Necrosis
B. Apoptosis
C. Atrophy
D. Lysis
, Apoptosis is a genetically controlled, organized process of cell death without
inflammation.
3. Which of the following best describes an idiopathic disease?
A. Caused by a known pathogen
B. Acquired in a hospital setting
C. Of unknown origin
D. Induced by treatment
Idiopathic means that the exact cause of the disease is unknown.
4. Which electrolyte imbalance is most associated with cardiac arrhythmias?
A. Hypernatremia
B. Hyperkalemia
C. Hypocalcemia
D. Hyponatremia
Potassium imbalance affects cardiac conduction, increasing the risk for
arrhythmias.
5. What is the term for an increase in cell number?
A. Atrophy
B. Hypertrophy
C. Hyperplasia
D. Dysplasia
Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue.
6. What type of immunity is acquired through vaccination?
A. Natural active
B. Artificial active
