Sample item

What pathological outcome follows prolonged interruption of arterial blood supply to tissue?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

C. Ischaemic tissue necrosis forming an infarct

Prolonged arterial occlusion deprives tissue of oxygen and nutrients, causing irreversible ischaemic necrosis known as an infarct.

Option by option

  • A. Simple reversible cell swelling

    Early cell swelling can be reversible before infarction develops.

  • B. Normal wound maturation

    Normal wound healing is not a consequence of arterial occlusion.

  • C. Ischaemic tissue necrosis forming an infarct (correct)

    Correct: sustained ischaemia produces irreversible necrosis.

  • D. A chronic allergic rash

    Allergic rashes are immune-mediated skin reactions.
