This document contains 20 multiple choice questions about various types of cellular changes and cell death processes, including atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, apoptosis, necrosis, and others. The questions test understanding of when each process occurs, how it presents pathologically, whether it is reversible or irreversible, and other distinguishing features. The key points covered are changes in cell size versus number, adaptive versus pathological processes, and differences between apoptosis and necrosis.
