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.

25. Infectious disorder - caused postencephalitic parkinsonism






26. Autosomal dominant - numerous adenomatous polyps along with osteomas and soft tissue tumors






27. Nuclei arranged in horseshoe - shaped pattern about periphery of cell - characteristic of but not specific for granulomatous TB (as opposed to a foreign body giant cell that has scattered nuclei)






28. Autosomal dominant - fatal - progressive degeneration of striatum and frontal cortex with neuronal depletion and gliosis






29. Aka osteopetrosis - marble bone dx - dense skeleton - failure of osteoclastic activity
