1. What is the term used to identify physiological hypertrophy of the uterus?
">

Explanation

Physiologic hypertrophy of the uterus refers to the normal increase in size of the uterus, typically seen during pregnancy or in response to hormonal changes. Pathologic atrophy, hyperplasia, and congenital malformation are different conditions unrelated to physiological hypertrophy.

2. What is depicted in the image below?
">

Explanation

The correct answer is a normal uterus as indicated in the image provided. Kidney, Lung, and Brain are incorrect choices as they do not match the structure shown.

Submit
3. What is the medical term for a pregnant uterus?
">

Explanation

The term 'gravid uterus' specifically refers to a uterus that is enlarged due to pregnancy. The other incorrect options do not relate to pregnancy or the female reproductive system.

Submit
4. Identify the following image.
">

Explanation

The correct answer is a normal brain of a young adult. The other options are incorrect as they describe brains with different conditions or age groups.

Submit
5. Identify the condition based on the following description: Atrophy of brain of 82 year old with atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease resulting in reduced blood supply, narrow gyri, and widening of sulci.
">

Explanation

The description provided matches the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by brain atrophy, decreased blood supply, narrow gyri, and widening of sulci. Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington's disease present with different symptoms and are not typically associated with these specific indicators.

Submit
6. Identify the following tissue sample
">

Explanation

The correct answer describes a specific type of tissue sample found in the kidney, while the incorrect answers refer to different tissues with specific pathologies.

Submit
7. Identify the early reversible ischemic injury showing surface blebs, increased eosinophilia of cytoplasm, swelling of occasional cells.
">

Explanation

The correct answer describes the characteristic features of early reversible ischemic injury, such as surface blebs, increased eosinophilia of cytoplasm, and swelling of occasional cells. The incorrect answers do not align with these specific features.

Submit
8. What is being identified in the image?
">

Explanation

The correct answer describes the specific details seen in the electron microscope image provided, which allows for the identification of a normal epithelial cell of the proximal kidney tubule with microvilli. The incorrect answers do not align with the details visible in the image, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
9. What is shown in the image?
">

Explanation

The image shows an epithelial cell of the proximal tubule exhibiting signs of early cell injury. This is characterized by the loss of microvilli and the presence of blebs in the apical cytoplasm. The incorrect answers do not align with the description of the cell in the image, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
10. Identify the process that involves necrosis of epithelial cells, loss of nuclei, fragmentation of cell, and leakage of contents.
">

Explanation

The process described in the question is apoptosis, which is distinct from mitosis, endocytosis, and osmosis in terms of characteristics and mechanisms.

Submit
11. Identify the necrotic cell with black spots representing electron dense deposits in mitochondria.

Explanation

The correct answer describes a necrotic cell showing electron dense deposits in mitochondria, which is a characteristic feature of necrosis. The incorrect answers do not accurately depict the features of a necrotic cell as described in the question.

Submit
12. Identify the wedge shaped area found in the cross section of the kidney.

Explanation

The correct answer refers to the wedge shaped area of infarct in the kidney, which is different from the other incorrect options related to blood flow, filtration, and waste excretion.

Submit
13. Identify the following microscopic view: Microscopic view of the edge of infarct with normal kidney (n) and necrotic cells in (i) showing preserved cellular outlines with loss of nuclei and an inflammatory infiltrate.

Explanation

The correct answer describes a specific microscopic view showing characteristics of an infarct in the kidney tissue. Option A is incorrect as it describes a normal kidney without cellular changes. Option B, C, and D are also incorrect as they describe different pathological conditions in other organs not related to the given microscopic view.

Submit
14. What is the histological finding shown in the image?

Explanation

The correct answer is Fibrinoid necrosis in an artery, which is characterized by deposition of fibrin-like material in the walls of arteries. This finding is commonly seen in conditions such as vasculitis and hypertension. The incorrect answers provided do not describe the histological finding shown in the image.

Submit
15. What is the term for a round-oval mass of intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm with fragments of dense nuclear chromatin resulting from the apoptosis of an epidermal cell during an immune reaction?

Explanation

A Civatte body is a specific term used to describe the appearance of an epidermal cell during a certain process, different from the other options provided.

Submit
16. What is the correct spelling of the given word?

Explanation

The correct answer is 'ADAfD', as it matches the correct capitalization and arrangement of letters in the provided question.
