Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Liquefactive necrosis is due to enzymatic action and because cells of the brain are rich in en-zymes. Protein denaturation occurs primarily in the kidneys. Liquefactive necrosis is due to en-zymatic reaction and not to hypoxia or hydrolases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Caseous necrosis results from tuberculosis pulmonary infection. Coagulative necrosis occurs pri-marily in the kidneys, heart, and adrenal glands, and commonly results from hypoxia. Liquefac-tive necrosis results from ischemic injury to neurons and glial cells in the brain. Autonecrosis is a process of cellular self-digestion and is not due to infection such as tuberculosis.
