An otherwise healthy 44-year old man died suddenly and unexpectedly within 6 hours of admission to the hospital for a high fever that had been present for only 12 hours. At autopsy, there are no significant findings on external examination of the body. However, internal examination of the cranial cavity revealed a markedly edematous brain with extensive yellow-tan exudate obscuring the sulci. Which of the following statements about this man’s death is most appropriate?

What factors influence potassium, sodium, phosphate and fluid restriction in patients receiving renal replacement treatment?

On Plate 12.4, figure 3 (3rd photo on page 438, bottom, left, on page 439): Name the tissue, stain used, and magnification Why is this stain used for this tissue specimen, rather than the standard H&E stain? What color does the stain impart on the tissue being examined? What cells are visible between the molecular layer (MOL) and the inner granule layer (Gr)? What is the advantage of using this stain on the specimen as described by the author?

Name the four systems of the Nervous System. For each system, name at least two locations in the body where this system is found and functions.

In Plate 8.3, figure 1, 2 and figure 3, pages 275 and 276: Name the tissue, stain and magnification in each photo. The sections labeled “EB” identifies what structure?  When does EB growth begin and end in the life cycle? What are the two specialized cells that are involved in the formation of bone and the removal of bone in the remodeling process? The middle picture has a section labeled “CAV”.  What is CAV? What does CAV contain? What is the “BMC”?

These photomicrographs represent human Skeletal Muscle, stained with H&E at various magnifications. (see Plate 11.1) How is muscle tissue classified? In figure 1 above, the author mentions small blue dots visible at this magnification. What are the small blue dots? How do the small blue dots distinguish skeletal muscle from smooth or cardiac muscle? Figure 4 is a cross-section of human skeletal muscle. What are the blue dots/structures surrounding the MF?  What is the CT, and what role does CT play in the structure of the skeletal muscle?
