  6. TRAUMA
17
Q

in ACUTE/CHRONIC hepatitis we tend to see APOPTOTIC hepatocytes

A

CHRONIC

18
Q

LIQUEFACTIVE

in the liver…
1. PUS
2. BACTERIA

20
Q

define type of NECROSIS

A

COAGULATIVE

21
Q

define LEFT and RIGHT types of NECROSIS

A

LEFT = ZONAL

RIGHT = DIFFUSE/MULTIFOCAL RANDOM

22
Q

define LEFT and RIGHT types of NECROSIS

A

LEFT = MASSIVE

RIGHT = BRIDGING
