Module 4 - Inflammation

Question 1

Atrophy

Answer 1

Decrease in cell size

Question 2

Hypertrophy

Answer 2

Increase in cell size

Question 3

Hyperplasia

Answer 3

Increase in number of cells in organ or tissue

Question 4

Metaplasia

Answer 4

Reversible change in which an adult cell is replaced by another adult cell

Question 5

Dysplasia

Answer 5

Deranged cell growth - size and shape will vary, unorganized

Question 6

Cardinal Signs of Inflammation

Answer 6

1. Rubor
2. Edema
3. Heat
4. Pain
5. Loss of function/alteration in function

Question 7

Edema

Answer 7

occurs due to increased accumulation of fluid in tissue spaces in the vascular phase

Question 8

Heat

Answer 8

Occurs due to vasodilation in the vascular phase

Question 9

Pain

Answer 9

occurs due to increased accumulation of fluid in tissue spaces

Question 10

Loss of function/alteration in function

Answer 10

also occurs due to increased accumulation of fluid in tissue spaces in the vascular phase

Question 11

Rubor (redness)

Answer 11

occurs due to vasodilation in the vascular phase

Question 12

Inflammatory Exudates:

Answer 12

Serous
Fibrinous
Membranous
Purulent
Sanguineous
Serosanguineous

Question 13

Serous

Answer 13

Clear, watery fluid

blisters

Question 14

Fibrinous

Answer 14

Bloody mesh-work with a large amount of fibrinogen which form a sticky mesh network
Fibers in blood clot

Question 15

Membranous

Answer 15

Necrotic cells enmeshed in fibrinopurulent exudate

Question 16

Purulent

Answer 16

yellow/greenish, contains pus which is composed of degraded WBCs, proteins, and tissue debris

Question 17

Sanguineous

Answer 17

Red, leakage of red blood cells from capillaries

Question 18

Serosanguinous

Answer 18

Pink (Combination of serous and sanguineous)

Question 19

temperature returns to normal at least once every 24 hours

Answer 19

Intermittent fever

Question 20

Temperature does not return to normal and varies a few degrees in either direction

Answer 20

Remittent Fever

Question 21

the temperature remains above normal with minimal variations (usually less than 1 degree F)

Answer 21

Sustained / Continuous

Question 22

there is one or more episodes of fever, each as long as several days, with one or more days of normal temperature between episodes

Answer 22

Relapsing Fever

Question 23

Labile (healing of tissue types)

Answer 23

Readily regenerates if stem cell pool preserved (ex. skin)

Question 24

Stable

Answer 24

restricted dividing

capable of regeneration if proper stimuli (ex. liver/kidneys)

Question 25

Fixed

Answer 25

Non-dividing

incapable of regeneration, fibrous scar switch (nerves)
