Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With hepatitis C, the liver will demonstrate apoptosis that is a result of the viral infection. Fat necrosis occurs with enzymatic action due to lipases. Apoptosis is not a normal physiological process. Pyknosis occurs when the nucleus shrinks and becomes a small, dense mass of genetic material.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Rigor mortis occurs within 6 hours after death and is evidenced by muscle stiffening. Livor mor-tis is a purple discoloration. Gangrene refers to death of tissue and results from severe hypoxic injury and does not lead to stiffening. Algor mortis is postmortem reduction of body tempera-ture.
