PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
2026
Pathophysiology - ANS the study of human physiologic dysfunction in disease
etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and outcomes - ANS What are
the five components of disease?
epidemiology - ANS risk factors and distribution in populations
etiology - ANS causative mechanisms
pathogenesis - ANS disease mechanisms
clinical manifestations - ANS signs, symptoms and diagnostic criteria
outcomes - ANS cure, remission, chronicity, or death
etiology - ANS The "why" of the disease, what is the reason for it. May be complex or straight
forward

, idiopathic - ANS also called cryptogenic, known in cause or origin
iatrogenic - ANS occurs as a results of a medical or surgical intervention (e.g. yeast infection
after getting antibiotics)
epidemiology - ANS this looks at the patterns of disease among groups or populations. this
complement represents the relationship between numerous population characteristics and
looks at the incidence or prevalence of diease
incidence - ANS the number of new cases occurring in a given population with a given time
period - usually a year. can be expressed as a percentage
prevalence - ANS involves the number of cases existing (both old and new) at a given time
period. Can be expressed as a percentage
pathogenesis - ANS involves the sequence of events that occurs between the stimulus events
and the manifestations of the disease.
clinical manifestations - ANS it is what tells an individual and their HCP that something is
wrong. Also called "signs and symptoms'
primary prevention - ANS directed towards preventing the initial occurrence of a disorder
Secondary and tertiary prevention - ANS (2 terms) these seek to arrest or retard existing
disease and its effect through early detection and appropriate treatment - or to reduce the
occurrence of relapses and the establishment of chronic conditions
at the cellular or sub-cellular level - ANS Where does all disease begin?
lethal (irreversible) and non-lethal (reversible) - ANS What are the two types of cell injury?
