Question 7

Which of the following is a complication of bone-marrow transplantation in which lymphoid cells from donated tissue attack the recipient and cause damage to skin, liver, GI tract, and other tissues?

Accepted Answer

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs when donor bone marrow or stem cells attack the recipient's body. This can happen after a bone marrow transplant, with the newly transplanted material recognizing the recipient's body as foreign and attacking various organs, including the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

Question 8

The term for cancer of lymphatic tissue not related to Hodgkin's disease is

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Which of the following terms means abnormal condition of lymph cells (increased numbers)?

Question 11

Which of the following abbreviations represents a disorder that may affect transplant patients?

Accepted Answer

GVHD stands for Graft Versus Host Disease, a condition that can occur after a transplant when the donated bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells view the recipient's body as foreign and attack it.

Question 12

Which of the following terms means tumor of lymphatic vessels?

Accepted Answer

Lymphangioma refers to a benign tumor of the lymphatic vessels, indicating an abnormal growth in the lymphatic system.

Question 13

The term for a group of chronic autoimmune diseases that cause inflammatory and fibrotic changes to skin, muscles, joints, tendons, cartilage, and other connective tissues is

The term for a group of disorders caused when the immune system misidentifies red blood cells (RBCs) as foreign and creates autoantibodies that attack them is

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is the correct term for the condition where the immune system mistakenly identifies red blood cells as foreign and produces autoantibodies that attack them. This leads to the destruction of RBCs, causing anemia.

Question 15

Match each medical term with the correct definition.
-lymphangioma

Accepted Answer

Lymphangioma is a type of tumor that affects the lymphatic vessels, indicating an abnormal growth in the network that is part of the immune system.

Question 20

All of the following terms are matched with the correct definition EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Pernicious anemia is actually caused by a deficiency in vitamin B12, often due to the body's inability to absorb it, not by the immune system attacking red blood cells directly.
