Test your basic knowledge |

Subject : health-sciences
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

20. Breast cancer


21. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






22. Post surgery or chemotherapy - Goal to reduce risk of local recurrence






23. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






24. Given at the same time b/c different mechanisms of action that lower the amount of drugs given-> decrease toxicity






25. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






26. Exposure->mutation - Initiation - Promotion - Progression & metastasis






27. Interluken vaccines-> pumping body full of what you normally produce -When stopping this therapy monitor for normal body functioning and antibiotics to resume could take some time

39. Inappropriately active versions of proto-oncogens (normal genes before mutation) code for proteins that induce malignant growth by turning on cell division (growth factors)






40. Spread of cancer from an initial site -Includes: angiogenesis - Invasion - Transport - Immunogenicity - arrest - Establishment of a secondary tumor






41. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






42. Begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs
