Correct answer: All of the Above
  • A. Fatty
  • B. Caseous
  • C. Coagulative
  • D. Gangrenous

Explanation: Most infarcts cause coagulative necrosis because the ischemic tissue framework remains preserved for some time.

  • B. Coagulation
  • C. Ischaemia
  • D. Embolism

Explanation: An embolus is a detached intravascular mass, such as a thrombus fragment or foreign material, carried by blood until it obstructs a…

Correct answer: Embolism
  • A. Air or gas embolism
  • B. Hyper coagulability
  • C. Amniotic fluid embolism
  • D. Tumour embolism

Explanation: Caisson disease is decompression sickness caused by formation of nitrogen gas bubbles when a person rises rapidly from high pressure.

Correct answer: Air or gas embolism
  • A. Coagulated fibrin
  • B. Aggregated R.B.C
  • C. Aggregated platelets
  • D. Aggregated proteins

Explanation: Lines of Zahn are alternating pale platelet-fibrin layers and darker red-cell-rich layers formed in flowing blood.

  • B. Aschoji's giant cells
  • C. Fibrocytes in myocardium
  • D. Hypertrophic myocardial fibres

Explanation: Heart failure cells are alveolar macrophages containing haemosiderin after pulmonary venous congestion and leakage of red cells.

  • A. The central venous pressure ins high
  • B. The extremities are pale, cold and sweating
  • C. There is always s site of bleeding
  • D. Urine output is unaffected

  • A. A decrease in the blood pressure
  • B. A decrease in the central venous pressure
  • C. A decrease in the heart rate
  • D. A decrease in the urine output

Explanation: A 40% blood-volume loss causes hypovolaemic shock with reduced blood pressure, central venous pressure and urine output, while sympathetic…

Correct answer: A decrease in the heart rate
  • A. Increased albumin in blood and decreased globin
  • B. None of the above
  • C. Increased osmotic pressure
  • D. Decreased albumin conc. in blood

Explanation: Low blood albumin reduces plasma oncotic pressure, so fluid leaves the intravascular space and accumulates in tissues as edema.

Correct answer: Decreased albumin conc. in blood
  • A. Anasarca
  • B. Pitting edema
  • C. Myxoedema
  • D. Dependent edema
