Jones and Bartlett AEMT Chapter 8
(Pathophysiology)
the study of how disease processes affect the function of the body
Pathophysiology
A decrease in cell size due to a loss of subcellular components
Atrophy
increase in cell size
Hypertrophy
increase in number of cells
Hyperplasia
An alteration of the size, shape, and organization of cells
Dyslpasia
,An adult cell type is replaced by another cell type
Metaplasia
Abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of tissues.
Edema
Decrease in extracellular fluid with proportionate losses of sodium and water
Isotonic Fluid Deficit
Found in blood and fluid outside the cells
Where is sodium found in the body?
Excessive sodium levels in the body
Hypernatremia
Deficit of sodium levels in the body
Hyponatremia
, Neuro muscle control; regulating skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles; regulating acid-base balance;
facilitating intracellular enzyme reactions; and maintaining intracellular osmolarity.
What is the function of Potassium in the body?
Deficient potassium in the blood
Hypokalemia
Excessive potassium in the blood
Hyperkalemia
Strengthening and stability of collagen and ground substance that form the matrix of the skeletal
system. 98% of it is found in the teeth and bones.
What is the main function of Calcium in the body?
Deficient calcium in the blood
Hypocalcemia
