1. Which of the following is most characteristic of a chronic
inflammatory response?
a) Swelling and redness
b) Granuloma formation
c) Pus formation
d) Vasodilation
Answer: b) Granuloma formation
Rationale: Chronic inflammation is often characterized by the formation
of granulomas, which are clusters of immune cells that form around
persistent irritants or pathogens. Swelling and redness are typical of
acute inflammation, while pus formation is more common in bacterial
infections.


2. A patient is experiencing tissue hypoxia. Which of the following
cellular changes is most likely to occur first?
a) Mitochondrial dysfunction
b) Cellular edema
c) Necrosis
d) Apoptosis
Answer: b) Cellular edema
Rationale: In response to hypoxia, cells initially experience edema due
to impaired sodium-potassium pump function, which causes water to
accumulate within the cell. Mitochondrial dysfunction, necrosis, and
apoptosis typically occur after the early stages of hypoxia.


3. Which of the following is a hallmark of malignant tumors?

, a) Well-differentiated cells
b) Slow, localized growth
c) Invasion into surrounding tissues
d) Low mitotic activity
Answer: c) Invasion into surrounding tissues
Rationale: Malignant tumors are characterized by their ability to invade
nearby tissues and spread to distant sites (metastasis). In contrast,
benign tumors are well-differentiated, grow slowly, and do not invade
other tissues.


4. Which of the following conditions is associated with increased
capillary permeability?
a) Hypertension
b) Hypoproteinemia
c) Acute inflammation
d) Dehydration
Answer: c) Acute inflammation
Rationale: During acute inflammation, the release of pro-inflammatory
mediators such as histamine increases capillary permeability, allowing
proteins and immune cells to move into the tissue to fight infection or
repair damage.


5. Which electrolyte imbalance is most commonly associated with
metabolic alkalosis?
a) Hyperkalemia
b) Hypernatremia
