Cell's control center - ANSWER Nucleus
Produces energy for cells to use by breaking down substances during oxidative
metabolism. - ANSWER Mitochodrion
Collects packages, and distributes molecules made in the cell. - ANSWER Golgi
complex
Tiny protein producing factories. Proteins produce chemical messages that run a
cell. - ANSWER Ribosome
Storage area from fast a and other substances - ANSWER Vacuole
Vesicle that contains enzymes that carry out particular reactions such as
detoxifying potentially harmful molecules. - ANSWER Peroxisome
Tiny organs that help the cell divide. - ANSWER Centriole
Made up of a double layer of fatty material. It allows some materials to pass into
and out the cell at thousands of places across the surface. It allows foods to pass
into and into the cell and waste to pass out of the cell. - ANSWER Cell membrane
Jelly-like fluid between cell membrane and the nucleus. Where all the organelles
are found. - ANSWER Cytoplasm
Where digestion of cell nutrients takes place. - ANSWER Lysosome
Smooth and rough tubes that move and store materials made by the cell. -
ANSWER Endoplasmic reticulum
Contains coded information that passes on every single inherited characteristic. -
ANSWER DNA
Framework is based on the "classic" or common presentation of disease in the
physiologic functioning of human beings. - ANSWER Pathophysiology
The cause or reason (risk factor) for a particular issue. - ANSWER Etiology
A factor that will increase the chance of disease (e.g., obesity) - ANSWER Risk
factors
,How a disease develops is called - ANSWER pathogenesis
_______ are what you see (objective - such as BP, HR, RR). - ANSWER Signs
___________ are what the patient says they are feeling and is not normal for them
(i.e., patient c/o pain or increased coughing spells). - ANSWER Symptoms
The cause of the signs and symptoms is known as _________. - ANSWER
Syndrome
The time from exposure to first signs and symptoms (A.K.A. the incubation
period). - ANSWER Latent period
The time when signs/symptoms first appear indicating the onset of the disease
process. - ANSWER Prodromal period
The disease reaches the peak/full intensity - you are feeling really sick. - ANSWER
Acute phase
The disease process is well established, and you are living with it/able to
function. - ANSWER Subclinical stage
Short-lived; can have severe S/S; example: having a cold/flu - ANSWER Acute
clinical course
Anything greater than 6 months that continues to persist; can follow an acute
issue; example: having COPD. - ANSWER Chronic clinical course
Sudden increase in severity of S/S - ANSWER Exacerbation
Decreased S/S, may indicate the disease as been cured - ANSWER Remission
Recovery stage after disease process, injury, or surgery - ANSWER
Convalescence
Subsequent pathological condition that resulted from an illness (i.e., a person
who has a stroke and does not fully recover). - ANSWER Sequela
The study of patterns of disease within a population. - ANSWER Epidemiology
Local or native to a specific region - ANSWER Endemic
Spread to many people at the same time - ANSWER Epidemic
Spread across a large geographical area (country/world/global) - ANSWER
Pandemic
, Factors that affect patterns of disease include: - ANSWER Ethnicity, age, gender,
socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and geographic location
This level of prevention consists of altering susceptibility or reducing exposure. -
ANSWER Primary
This level of prevention consists of early detection, screening, and management
of disease. - ANSWER Secondary
This level of prevention consists of rehabilitation, supportive care, reducing
disability, and restoring effective functioning. - ANSWER Tertiary
Examples of this level of prevention include vaccines, diet/exercise, and
education. - ANSWER Primary
Examples of this level of prevention includes colonoscopy, mammograms, and
testicular exams. - ANSWER Secondary
Examples of this level of prevention includes pulmonary or cardiac rehabilitation.

A. Maintaining routine immunizations
B. Screening for cancer
C. Rehabilitating after a stroke
D. Performing monthly breast examinations - ANSWER A
An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low=calorie diet
and exercise program. This is an example of:
A. Primary prevention
B. Secondary prevention
C. Tertiary prevention
D. Disease treatment - ANSWER A
A state in which body systems are in balance; equilibrium or an idea set point;
keeping a stable state. - ANSWER Homeostasis
A complex process controlled by the brain that will re-establish homeostasis in
response to lifestyle/environmental change; successfully adapting to change. -
ANSWER Allostasis
Agents or conditions that produce stress and disrupt homeostasis. - ANSWER
Stressors
Perceived inability to cope with a stressor. - ANSWER Distress
