*Chapter 1: Introduction to Pathophysiology* ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓
Risk ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Factor that when present increases the chance of disease
Not stressors, but conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of encountering a stressor
Prevalence ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓A measure of disease that allows us to determine a
person's likelihood of having a disease. Therefore, the number of prevalent cases is the total
number of cases of disease existing in a population. A prevalence rate is the total number of
cases of a disease existing in a population divided by the total population
Indicates how widespread the disease is
Incidence ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓A measure of disease that allows us to determine a
person's probability of being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time. Therefore,
incidence is the number of newly diagnosed cases of a disease. An incidence rate is the number
of new cases of a disease divided by the number of persons at risk for the disease.
Conveys information about the risk of contracting the disease.
Ratio ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓The quantitative relation between two amounts showing
the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.
Primary Prevention ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Altering susceptibility or reducing exposure
for susceptible persons
*Both illness and disease are absent
example: vaccinations, healthy lifestyles
,Secondary Prevention ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Early detection, screening, and
management of disease
*Illness absent, disease present
example: screenings and testings
Tertiary Prevention ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Rehabilitation, supportive care, reducing
disability, and restoring effective functioning
*Both illness and disease present
example: education
Epidemiology ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓study of the patterns of disease involving
populations; examining the occurrence, incidence, prevalence, transmission, and distribution of
diseases in large groups of populations/people
Endemic ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓A disease theat is native to a local region
Epidemic ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓When a disease is disseninated to many individals at
the same time
(spread to many people at the same time)
Pandemic ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Epidemics that affect large geographic regions,
perhaps spreading worldwide.
(spread to large geographic areas)
, *Chapter 2: Homeostasis and Adaptive Responses to Stressors* ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓
Homeostasis ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓A state of being in which all systems are in balance
around a articular ideal "set-point"
Exhausation ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Point where body can no longer return to
homeostasis following a prolonged exposure to noxious agents
Allostatic Overload ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓"Cost" of body's organs and tissues for an
excessive or ineffectively regulated allostatic response; effect of "wear and tear" on the body
Adaptation ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Adaptation: biopsychosocial process of change in
response to new or altered circumstances, internal or external in origin
Coping: behavioral adaptive response to a stressor using culturally based coping mechanisms
Adaptation and coping: terms used interchangeably
Arousal ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Includes alterations in responsiveness to homeostatic
pressures, sensory stimuli and emotional reactivity, and to changes in motor activity
Function of Cortisol ------- ✔ CORRECT ANSWER ✓✓Primary glucocorticoid
Affects protein metabolism
Promotes appetite and food-seeking behaviors
Has anti-inflammatory effects
Chemical mediator in the inflammation response of the body
Adrenal corticosteroid critical to maintenance of homeostasis
May synergize or antagonize effects of catecholamines
