BIOD 331 MODULE 1 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
pathophysiology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-not only the cellular and organ changes
| | | | | | | | | |
that occur with disease, but also the effects that these changes have on total
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
body function. |
5 etiologic factors and example - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Biologic agents (bacteria,
| | | | | | | | |
viruses), physical forces (trauma, burns, radiation), chemical agents (poisons,
| | | | | | | | | |
alcohol), one's genetic inheritance, and nutritional excesses or deficiencies.
| | | | | | | |
two types of risk factors - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Risk factors can be categorized
| | | | | | | | | | | |
as congenital conditions (present at birth) or acquired defects (occurring after
| | | | | | | | | | |
birth).
morphology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the fundamental structure or form of cells
| | | | | | | | | |
or tissues
|
histology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the study of the cells and extracellular matrix
| | | | | | | | | | |
of body tissues.
| |
symptom - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a subjective complaint, for example pain,
| | | | | | | | |
trouble breathing, or dizziness
| | |
, sign - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-an objective manifestation, for example an elevated
| | | | | | | | | |
temperature, a swollen extremity, or changes in pupil size.
| | | | | | | |
3 important processes when coming to a diagnosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The
| | | | | | | | | | |
diagnostic process requires a careful history, physical examination (PE), and
| | | | | | | | | |
sometimes diagnostic tests | |
validity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-how a tool measures what it is intended to
| | | | | | | | | | | |
measure
reliability - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-how likely the same result will occur if
| | | | | | | | | | |
repeated.
sensitivity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the proportion of people with a disease who
| | | | | | | | | | |
are positive for that disease.
| | | |
specificity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-people without the disease who are negative
| | | | | | | | | |
on a given test.
| | |
epidemiology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the study of disease occurrence in human
| | | | | | | | | |
populations. It tracks age, race, dietary habits, lifestyle, or geographic location.
| | | | | | | | | |
incidence - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the number of new cases in a population at
| | | | | | | | | | | |
risk during a specified time
| | | |
