Total questions: 30
Worksheet time: 10mins
Histopathology is the study of tissues using microscopes. The purpose is mainly to analyze DNA mutations.
The first statement is true, the second statement is false
The first statement is false, the second statement is true
Both statements are true
Both statements are false
The term “histology” means the study of the history of biology. It focuses on how life works at the level of whole organisms.
The first statement is true, the second statement is false
The first statement is false, the second statement is true
Both statements are true
Both statements are false
In histopathology, tissues are processed, cut into thin sections, and placed on slides for microscopic analysis. This process allows the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and infections.
The first statement is true, the second statement is false
The first statement is false, the second statement is true
Both statements are true
Both statements are false
Which of the following is a type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis?
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Skin tuberculosis
Meningeal tuberculosis
Otitis media tuberculosis
Histopathology guarantees perfectly consistent results since it is completely objective and not influenced by the pathologist’s experience.
True
False
Tuberculosis can also be transmitted through airborne means.
True
False
What is often seen in the histopathology of TB infections?
Adipose tissue
Caseous necrosis
Calcium crystals
Blood clots
Which of the following describes latent tuberculosis infection?
It always shows obvious symptoms, like fever and cough
The bacteria are present in the body but inactive, and the person shows no symptoms
It only affects our lungs
It always progresses immediately to active tuberculosis
Which type of pathology is crucial in criminal investigations?
Hematopathology
Surgical pathology
Forensic pathology
Neuropathology
In histopathology, why are tissues stained before examination?
To make tissues durable for long-term storage
To highlight and differentiate cells for better microscopic viewing
To remove infectious microorganisms before diagnosis
To sterilize tissues before putting them on a slide
Is forensic pathology only useful in criminal investigations?
True
False
What is the first step in identifying if you have Tuberculosis?
Check for symptoms such as fatigue, low fever, and persistent cough
Taking antibiotics right away to stop the infection
Go directly for an X-ray or CT scan of the lungs
Request for biopsy to confirm granulomatous inflammation
Which of the following statements about TB diagnostic tests is TRUE?
A raised skin after a tuberculin test indicates only active
A negative skin test always indicates TB infection
Blood tests for TB detect how immune cells respond to tuberculosis bacteria
Chest X-rays are the first and only test needed to diagnose tuberculosis
Which of the following is an example of a disease commonly diagnosed using histopathology?
Diabetes
Tuberculosis
Lung cancer
Hypertension
Which of the following advanced techniques is sometimes used along with histopathological methods for more accurate diagnosis?
Urinalysis
Immunohistochemistry
Electrocardiogram
Spectroscopy
Histopathology can help confirm tuberculosis by showing granulomas with caseous necrosis in tissue samples.
True
False
What is the causative agent of tuberculosis?
Mycobacterium leprae
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium avium
Mycobacterium bovis
Which of the following is NOT a recognized type of tuberculosis?
Primary tuberculosis
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Latent tuberculosis
Viral tuberculosis
Which diagnostic test uses sputum samples to detect acid-fast bacilli?
Ziehl-Neelsen stain
Gram stain
Wright’s stain
Silver stain
A chest X-ray is enough to confirm tuberculosis. The tuberculin skin test checks the skin’s reaction to injected tuberculin.
The first statement is true, the second statement is false
The first statement is false, the second statement is true
Both statements are true
Both statements are false
Which of the following is NOT a key laboratory method to identify TB?
TB skin test
Blood test
AFB smear
HER2 test
Cavitary lesions in TB are usually observed in:
Skin tissue
Lung tissue
Bone tissue
Brain tissue
What is the most common type of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)?
Macrovesicular steatosis
Microvesicular steatosis
Fibrosis
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
ER and PR testing are performed during immunohistochemistry in breast cancer.
True
False
Which of the following is labeled with the correct quality assurance stage?
Pre-analytical stage - interpretation, reporting, and release of results
Analytical stage - tissue processing, sectioning, staining
Post-analytical stage - specimen collection, labeling, and transport
Which stain is often used in histopathology for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis?
Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E)
Ziehl-Neelsen stain
Gram stain
PAS stain
Which of the following best describes active tuberculosis?
The infection is dormant and not contagious
The person has TB bacteria but shows no symptoms
The bacteria are present, but cannot be transmitted
The person has symptoms, and the disease can spread to others
Caseous necrosis, a hallmark of tuberculosis in histopathology, resembles:
Jelly-like tissue
Fibrous scar tissue
Soft, cheese-like material
Crystalline deposits
Which of the following is NOT a common site of extrapulmonary TB?
Lymph nodes
Meninges
Kidneys
Retina
The tuberculin skin test (TST) or Mantoux test is primarily used to:
Detect prior exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Directly visualize TB bacteria in tissue sections
Measure caseous necrosis in the lungs
Confirm the presence of latent TB on histopathology slides
