GRADED A+
◉ manifestations of a disease. Answer: Signs and symptoms of a
disease.
◉ prognosis. Answer: Predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from
a specific disease.
◉ systemic sign of disease. Answer: Fever.
◉ etiology. Answer: The study of the causes of a disease.
◉ cellular adaptation. Answer: A type of cellular adaptation in which
there is a decrease in cell size is referred to as atrophy.
◉ dysplasia. Answer: A change in a tissue marked by cells that vary in
size and shape and show increased mitotic figures.
,◉ ischemia. Answer: A deficit of oxygen in the cells usually due to
respiratory or circulatory problems.
◉ necrosis. Answer: When a group of cells in the body dies.
◉ hypertrophy. Answer: Rigorous weightlifting/body building regimens
may result in the skeletal muscle cells undergoing hypertrophy.
◉ cancer. Answer: Malignant neoplasm.
◉ apoptosis. Answer: Preprogrammed cell self-destruction.
◉ caseation necrosis. Answer: An area where dead cells form a thick
cheesy substance.
◉ preventive measure. Answer: Routine application of sun block to skin.
◉ precipitating factor. Answer: A circumstance that causes a sudden
acute episode of a chronic disease to occur.
◉ homeostasis. Answer: Maintenance of a stable internal environment.
,◉ complication. Answer: A new and secondary or additional problem
that arises after the original disease has been established.
◉ pathophysiology. Answer: Functional or structural changes resulting
from disease processes.
◉ epidemiology. Answer: The science of tracking the occurrence and
distribution of diseases.
◉ cell injury or death causes. Answer: Hypoxia, exposure to excessive
cold, excessive pressure on a tissue, chemical toxins.
◉ Seven Steps to Health. Answer: All of the following are part of the
Seven Steps to Health EXCEPT: Participate in strenuous exercise on a
regular daily basis.
◉ disease. Answer: A deviation from the normal state of health and
function.
◉ syndrome. Answer: A collection of signs and symptoms, often
affecting more than one organ or system, that usually occur together in
response to a certain condition.
◉ cell damage. Answer: Initially, cell damage does not change cell
metabolism, structure, or function.
, ◉ double blind studies. Answer: Neither the members of the control
group or the experimental group nor the person administering the
treatment knows who is receiving the experimental therapy.
◉ Placebo effect. Answer: The phenomenon where a patient experiences
a perceived improvement in condition due to believing they are
receiving treatment.
◉ Evidence-based research. Answer: Research that confirms the new
treatment has increased effectiveness and is safe.
◉ Acute illness. Answer: A short-term illness that develops very quickly
with perhaps a high fever or severe pain.
◉ Prognosis. Answer: The expected outcome of the disease.
◉ Infarction. Answer: The damage resulting from prolonged ischemia to
an area of the heart.
◉ Double blind study. Answer: A study design where neither the
participants nor the administrators know who is receiving the treatment
or placebo.
