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.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.
