Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When cervical cells undergo dysplasia, there is a change in their size, shape, and organization. Metaplasia is the reversible replacement of one mature cell type. The cells have not decreased in size; therefore, atrophy is incorrect. The cells have not increased in size in response to stimuli; therefore, they have not hypertrophied.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Necrosis is the sum of cellular changes after local cell death. Cellular adaptation is a reversible, structural, or functional response to both normal or physiologic conditions and adverse or patho-logic conditions. Calcification is an accumulation of calcium salts. Apoptosis is an active process of cellular self-destruction.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
