QUESTION
Type of inflammation NOT seen in the brain?
OPTIONS
(A) Catarrhal
(B) Purulent
(C) Haemorrhagic
(D) Fibrinous
ANSWER
(A) Catarrhal
EXPLANATION
Catarrhal inflammation is not a typical inflammatory pattern of the brain because the central nervous system lacks mucous glands and a conventional mucous membrane capable of producing catarrhal exudate. Purulent, hemorrhagic, and fibrinous inflammatory patterns can occur in the brain under appropriate pathological conditions. Therefore, option A is correct.
