TCM Emergency_Etiology&Pathogenesis

Which of the following is considered an external cause of disease in TCM?

• Emotional stress

• Dietary imbalance

• Six external pathogenic factors (wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire)

• Overwork

Which pathogen is most likely to cause a sudden and acute illness according to TCM etiology?

• Cold

• Wind

• Fire

• Dampness

In TCM, what is the primary mechanism that leads to the development of an emergency condition?

• Blockage of qi and blood

• Disharmony of yin and yang

• Weakness of the spleen

• Stagnation of liver qi

Which of the following TCM pathogenic factors is known to easily combine with other pathogens, complicating an emergency condition?

• Cold

• Wind

• Dampness

• Heat

In TCM pathogenesis, which organ is primarily affected by emotional stress, leading to emergency conditions?

• Spleen

• Heart

• Liver

• Kidneys

What is the role of “yin deficiency” in the development of emergency conditions according to TCM pathogenesis?

• It leads to excess yang, causing heat syndromes.

• It weakens the body's qi, making it susceptible to external pathogens.

• It causes cold syndromes due to lack of warmth.

• It triggers stagnation of blood, leading to blockages.

Which of the following best describes the pathogenesis of “internal heat” in TCM emergencies?

• Accumulation of cold in the organs

• Excessive yang activity without yin balance

• Qi deficiency and blood stasis

• Dampness transforming into heat

How does blood stasis contribute to the pathogenesis of an emergency condition in TCM?

• It depletes yang qi, leading to cold extremities.

• It obstructs the free flow of qi, leading to pain and acute syndromes.

• It weakens the spleen and leads to dampness accumulation.

• It transforms into phlegm and causes obstruction in the lungs.

Which organ is primarily involved in the pathogenesis of emergency conditions related to phlegm accumulation in TCM?

• Lungs

• Heart

• Spleen

• Liver

In the etiology of TCM, sudden trauma is considered what type of cause in emergency conditions?

• External cause

• Internal cause

• Neither internal nor external

• Both internal and external causes
