Question 1

Which of the following is NOT true regarding contribution to inﬂammation?
A) Lysosomal constituents increase vascular permeability and tissue damage
B) Oxygen free radicals amplify the cascade that elicits the inﬂammatory response
C) Neuropeptides help initiate and propagate the inﬂammatory response
D) The response to hypoxia decreases vascular permeability
E) The response to necrotic cells is pro-inﬂammatory

Accepted Answer

The response to hypoxia typically increases vascular permeability, not decreases it, as part of the inflammatory response to ensure adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to affected tissues.

Question 2

One possible outcome of acute inflammation is resolution, with the other outcomes being chronic inflammation and fibrosis (loss of function) . Which of the following is NOT associated with resolution?
A) Clearance of injurious stimuli
B) Clearance of mediators and acute inﬂammatory cells
C) Replacement of injured cells
D) Normal function
E) Angiogenesis

Accepted Answer

Angiogenesis is not associated with resolution; it is a process involved in tissue repair and chronic inflammation, not the resolution of acute inflammation.

Question 3

Which of the following appears, histologically, as an eosinophilic meshwork of threads or sometimes as an amorphous coagulum?
A) Serous inﬂammation
B) Fibrinous inﬂammation
C) Suppurative or purulent inﬂammation
D) Ulcers

Accepted Answer

Fibrinous inflammation is characterized by the presence of fibrin, which appears as an eosinophilic meshwork of threads or sometimes as an amorphous coagulum on histological examination.

Question 4

Which of the following is characterized by the production of large amounts of pus consisting of neutrophils, necrotic cells, and edema ﬂuid?
A) Serous inﬂammation
B) Fibrinous inﬂammation
C) Suppurative or purulent inﬂammation
D) Ulcers

Accepted Answer

Suppurative or purulent inflammation is characterized by the production of large amounts of pus, which consists of neutrophils, necrotic cells, and edema fluid.

Question 5

Which of the following is marked by the outpouring of a thin fluid that, depending on the size of injury, is derived from either the plasma or the secretions of mesothelial cells lining the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities?
A) Serous inﬂammation
B) Fibrinous inﬂammation
C) Suppurative or purulent inﬂammation
D) Ulcers

Accepted Answer

Serous inflammation is characterized by the outpouring of a thin fluid, which can be derived from plasma or the secretions of mesothelial cells lining body cavities.

Question 6

Match the type of chronic inflammation with the associated disease:
-Persistent infections
A) Silicosis
B) Rheumatoid arthritis
C) Treponema pallidum

Accepted Answer

Treponema pallidum is the bacterium that causes syphilis, a disease associated with persistent infections leading to chronic inflammation.

Question 7

Match the type of chronic inflammation with the associated disease:
-Prolonged exposure to potentially toxic agents
A) Silicosis
B) Rheumatoid arthritis
C) Treponema pallidum

Accepted Answer

Silicosis is caused by prolonged exposure to silica dust, which is a potentially toxic agent.

Question 8

Match the type of chronic inflammation with the associated disease:
-3) Persistent infec
A) Silicosis
B) Rheumatoid arthritis
C) Treponema pallidum

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the type of chronic inflammation with...

Question 9

Unlike acute inﬂammation, chronic inﬂammation is characterized by tissue destruction, induced by the persistent oﬀending agent or by the inﬂammatory cells. It is also characterized by the cells involved, which include all of the following EXCEPT:
A) Lymphocytes
B) Plasma cells
C) Macrophages
D) Neutrophils
E) Eosinophils
F) Mast cells

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils are primarily associated with acute inflammation, whereas chronic inflammation involves lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, eosinophils, and mast cells.

Question 10

A granuloma is a focus of chronic inflammation consisting of a microscopic aggregation of macrophages. Which of the following is an immune granuloma and NOT
A foreign body granuloma?
A) Talc
B) Sutures
C) Microbes
D) Soil
E) Glass

Accepted Answer

Immune granulomas are formed in response to persistent infectious agents or antigens, such as microbes, whereas foreign body granulomas are formed in response to inert substances like talc, sutures, soil, or glass.

Question 11

A patient presents with an infection of the hand and red streaks along the arm and into the axilla, with painful nodules in the axilla. This is due to a secondary inflammation of the , which in ﬂow due to the infection.
A) Blood; Increased
B) Blood; Decreased
C) Lymph; Increased
D) Lymph; Decreased

Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are indicative of lymphangitis, which is an inflammation of the lymphatic vessels due to infection, leading to increased lymph flow and painful nodules in the lymph nodes (axilla).

Question 12

Which of the following is NOT a systemic eﬀect of inﬂammation?
A) Fever
B) Increased acute-phase proteins
C) Leukocytosis
D) Decreased pulse and blood pressure
E) Cytokine release (IL-1 and TNF)

Accepted Answer

Decreased pulse and blood pressure are not systemic effects of inflammation; inflammation typically causes increased pulse and blood pressure.

Question 13

Which of the following would be associated with defective inﬂammation?
A) Infections
B) Allergies
C) Asthma
D) Psoriasis
E) Vitiligo

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following would be associated...
