Which of the following would be causes for cell damage and death?
  1. Hypoxia
  2. Bacteria
  3. Immunological response
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - Each one of the above answers can cause cell damage and/or death. Hypoxia or lack of oxygen can occur when reduced blood flow occurs, such as with fat deposits within arteries of the heart. Bacteria can often release enzymes that cause damage to certain tissue in the body. The body can also cause damage to its own cells by its immunological responses. These responses are often meant to attack foreign cells such as bacteria, but are often non-specific and attack healthy cells as well.
