Which finding corresponds to absolute reaction of degeneration?

• A. Accompanies partial reaction of degeneration
• B. Accompanies full reaction of degeneration
• C. Accompanies absolute reaction of degeneration
• D. Reaction of degeneration is not involved

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that degeneration can show different degrees of tissue involvement, with the absolute form representing a complete, all-encompassing degeneration reaction. In this stage, the degeneration response is fully present across the affected tissue, so the finding that best matches is that the degeneration reaction accompanies the absolute reaction of degeneration itself. In other words, when degeneration is truly absolute, you see the full set of degeneration changes uniformly everywhere the process occurs. This distinguishes it from partial involvement (only some cells show changes), a very extensive but not complete involvement, or no degeneration at all.
