B. the normal stratified squamous epithelium develops additional layers of cells. 27. A new pair of shoes causes increased friction to the heel of a woman's foot. Over time the skin C. the cells that are normally present become larger, but do not divide to form more cells than normal the normal skin cells change size, shape and appearance to become abnormal cells. 28. Examination of cells in a tissue sample shows accumulation of tiny vacuoles of water within the cell and a higher than normal level of calcium in the cytoplasm This A. the cells were from an area that was not receiving adequate oxygen. B. the cells had been exposed to lead over a long period of time. C. the individual was probably an alcoholic. D. the individual was probably developing diabetes mellitus. 29. A 73-year-old woman undergoes a stroke that prevents blood from reaching a small region of her temporal lobe. Six months after the stroke she suffers a second stroke that causes death. When an autopsy is performed, the temporal lobe would probably show signs of: A. gangrenous necrosis B. coagulative necrosis C. caseous necrosis D. liquefactive necrosis 30. The cell death that occurs when tissues undergo physiologic atrophy A. is likely to trigger the inflammatory response. B. usually involves coagulative necrosis. C. is due to apoptosis. D. would tend to involve large clusters of cells that are all in one area. y: A 65-year-old male is taken to the emergency room with severe chest pains. Three years agg he

Explanation / Answer

27. Answer is B. The normal stratified squamous epithelium develops additional layers of cells.
It does not replace the tissue with different tissue (aka metaplasia). It does not produce change in size, shape, or appearance to become abnormal cells (aka dysplasia). There is no increase is just size of cells (hypertrophy).

28. Answer is A. The cells were from an area that was not receiving adequate oxygen.
Vacuolation is a symptom of hypoxic injury which is due to low oxygen supply

29. Answer is D. Liquefactive necrosis.

Liquefactive necrosis occurs in neurons and glial cells of the brain. Not in gangrenous necrosis (muscles) coagulative necrosis (kidney, heart, adrenal glands) or caseous necrosis (lungs).

30. Answer is C. is due to apoptosis.

For example: Uterus decreases after child birth. Physiological (normal) not pathological.
