  • A. Vein
  • B. Valve cusp
  • C. Heart chamber
  • D. Arteries

Explanation: A mural thrombus forms along the wall of a heart chamber, commonly in an atrium after atrial fibrillation or over an infarcted ventricular…

Correct answer: Heart chamber
  • A. Lymphangitis
  • B. Endarteritis
  • C. Atheroscleroses
  • D. Thrombophebitis

Explanation: Most pulmonary emboli arise from thrombi in the deep veins of the legs, often described clinically as thrombophlebitis or deep-vein…

Correct answer: Thrombophebitis
  • A. Endothelial injury
  • B. Cytokine action
  • C. Increased vascular permeability
  • D. Peripheral vasodilation

Explanation: Endotoxin stimulates macrophages and other cells to release cytokines such as TNF and IL-1, initiating vasodilation, endothelial…

Correct answer: Cytokine action
  • A. Coronary arteries
  • B. Cerebral arteries
  • C. Pulmonary arteries
  • D. Renal arteries

Explanation: A saddle embolus lodges at the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk or its major branches, abruptly obstructing pulmonary blood flow.

Correct answer: Pulmonary arteries
  • A. Damage to endothelium due to injury or inflammation
  • B. Diminished rate of blood flow
  • C. Increased coagulability of blood
  • D. Increased venous blood pressure

Explanation: Virchow’s triad consists of endothelial injury, abnormal blood flow such as stasis, and hypercoagulability.

Correct answer: Increased venous blood pressure
  • A. Below 1.012
  • B. Below 1.0.10
  • C. Between 1.012 and 1.020
  • D. Above 1.020Download Reference Apps

Explanation: Transudate forms from increased hydrostatic pressure or reduced plasma oncotic pressure and contains relatively little protein, giving it…

Correct answer: Below 1.012
  • A. Decreased capilary permeability
  • B. Increased capilary permeability
  • C. Decreased interstitial fluid
  • D. Decreased blood flowOrder DNA Kits

Explanation: A rise in capillary permeability allows protein-rich fluid to escape into the interstitium, producing inflammatory edema.

Correct answer: Increased capilary permeability
  • A. Increased specific gravity
  • B. Cloudy appearance
  • C. Low protein
  • D. High proteinConsult Online Doctors

Explanation: Transudate forms mainly from altered hydrostatic or oncotic pressure and contains little protein, so it is usually clear with a low…

Correct answer: Low protein
  • A. None of the above
  • B. Passive congestion in liver
  • C. Active hyperemia in lungs
  • D. Passive Congestion in lungs

Explanation: Left-sided heart failure raises pressure backward into the pulmonary veins, causing passive pulmonary congestion and oedema.

Correct answer: Passive Congestion in lungs
  • A. Spleen
  • B. Liver
  • C. Kidney
  • D. Lung

Explanation: Gamna-Gandy bodies are siderotic nodules in the spleen, composed of fibrous tissue containing hemosiderin, calcium and often iron-laden…

Correct answer: Spleen
  • A. Portal vein
  • B. Veins of lower extremities
  • C. Pulmonary vein
  • D. Hepatic vein

Explanation: The commonest clinically important thrombi arise in the deep veins of the lower limbs, especially the calf veins.

Correct answer: Veins of lower extremities
  • A. Arteries
  • B. Capilaries
  • C. Veins
  • D. Heart

Explanation: Thrombosis occurs most commonly in veins, particularly the deep veins of the lower limbs, where blood flow is slow and stasis is common.

Correct answer: Veins
  • A. Thrombo embolism
  • B. Air embolism
  • C. Amniotic fluid embolism
  • D. Fat embolism

Explanation: Fractures of long bones can release marrow fat into the circulation, producing fat embolism and, in severe cases, fat embolism syndrome.

Correct answer: Fat embolism
  • A. Lungs
  • B. Heart
  • C. Liver
  • D. Kidney

Explanation: Heart failure cells are hemosiderin-laden macrophages found in alveoli after chronic pulmonary venous congestion from left-sided heart…

Correct answer: Lungs
  • A. Blood pressure
  • B. Deficiency of effective circulating blood volume
  • C. CVP to 8 cm of water
  • D. Cardiac output

Explanation: Shock is managed by correcting the inadequate effective circulating volume so that tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery are restored.

Correct answer: Deficiency of effective circulating blood volume
  • A. Sepsis
  • B. Hypovolemia
  • C. Vasoconstriction
  • D. Impaired tissue prefusion

Explanation: All forms of shock produce inadequate tissue perfusion, causing cellular hypoxia and organ dysfunction.

Correct answer: Impaired tissue prefusion
  • A. Severe generalized swelling
  • B. Abnormal inflammatory process
  • C. Absence of proliferation of vessels following inflammation
  • D. Presence of pus

Explanation: Anasarca is severe, generalized oedema involving much of the body, usually due to disorders such as heart failure, renal disease or severe…

Correct answer: Severe generalized swelling
  • A. Ascending oaorta
  • B. Deep leg veins
  • C. Portal vein
  • D. Right atrium

Explanation: Most pulmonary thromboemboli arise from deep venous thromboses in the legs, particularly the calf, femoral or iliac veins.

Correct answer: Deep leg veins
  • A. Ecchymosis - large extravasation of blood in to the skin and mucous membrane
  • B. Purpura - small areas (1cm) of hemorrhage in to the skin and mucous membrane
  • C. All of the above
  • D. petechiae - small pin point hemorrhages

Explanation: Petechiae are pinpoint haemorrhages, purpura are intermediate small haemorrhages, and ecchymoses are larger areas of blood extravasation.

Correct answer: All of the above
  • A. Clot formation
  • B. Infarction
  • C. Embolism
  • D. Thrombosis

Explanation: Thrombosis is the formation of a solid mass from blood constituents within the vascular system during life.

Correct answer: Thrombosis
