Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Infections caused by bacteria such as toxoplasmosis can result in granuloma formation. Degranu-lation is a part of mast cell destruction. Blood clots are not expected with chronic inflammation. Exudate production is pus formation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Macrophages secrete transforming growth factor-beta to stimulate fibroblasts to secrete the col-lagen precursor procollagen. Angiogenesis factor supports the growth of new vessels. Matrix metalloproteinase remodels proteins at the site of injury. Vascular endothelial growth factors are also involved in vessel growth.
