True
False
Who is the father of modern pathology?
Rudolf Virchow
Louis Pasteur
Hippocrates
Robert Koch
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
A disability is any impairment of the body or mind that...
a person can sense.
must be supported by objective data.
limits a person's ability to engage in certain tasks or actions.
all of these are correct
What is the meaning of the term cellular pathology?
Diseases only occur in the cellular level.
Virtually all forms of disease start with molecular or structural alterations in cells.
The cell is essentially the source of most illnesses.
None of these.
Which of the following refers to the statement of what the expected outcome of a condition is likely to be?
Pathogenesis
Etiology
Clinical manifestation
Prognosis
A person's mood, emotions, and personality are all aspects of his social well-being that has to be nurtured to maintain a healthy constitution.
True
False
Encoded in a person’s DNA sequences will be his susceptibility to certain diseases, hence changes in any of the 3.2 billion DNA base pairs in the human genome can alter the function of the cells and the person’s likelihood to develop a particular illness.
True
False
Absolute insulin deficiency occurs with autoimmune destruction of insulin secreting β-cells and other congenital conditions such as genetic defects in the formation or function of the endocrine pancreas.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
Patients with diabetes mellitus often experience polyuria, increased thirst, dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, weight loss, and metabolic decompensation.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
Chronic obesity leads to increased insulin resistance due to raised levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) from uncontrolled lipolysis. This can contribute to the onset of symptomatic diabetes.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
At the onset of overt hyperglycemia, a mixture of pseudoatrophic islets with cells producing glycogen, somatostatin and pancreatic poly-peptide, normal
islets, and islets containing both beta-cells and infiltrating
lymphocytes and monocytes may be seen.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated with selective destruction of insulin producing pancreatic β-cells. Once more than 90% of the β-cells are destroyed, overt hyperglycemia start to manifest.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
Nutrient composition has also been found to be a risk factor for developing type 2 DM, where increased fat and decreased carbohydrate consumption have contributed to hyperinsulinemia of obesity.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
In type 2 DM, the number and volume of beta cells are usually decreased to half the normal, and the alpha cell mass is increased. The islets exhibit hyalinization and amyloid deposition, containing islet amyloid polypeptide.
This statement refers to which of the 4 cores of pathology?
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphologic Changes
Functional Changes
Clinical Manifestation
Initially, the glucagon secreting cells within the pancreatic islets remain relatively preserved, resulting in excessive secretion of glucagon relative to insulin after protein meals.
