Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual
Approach 4th Ed – Nath & Braun | Complete
Test Bank | A+ Verified
Acute - manifestations that begin abruptly and last a few days to a few months
Anatomy - study of body structures
Asymptomatic - no noticeable symptoms even though the disease is present through testing
Chronic - manifestations that have gradual onsets and generally last longer than six months
Clinical manifestations - the presenting signs and symptoms of the disease
Concept - a general idea that can be applied to similar situations
Diagnosis - label for the disease
Disease - the functional impairment of cells, tissues, organs, or organ systems
Dynamic - change; in reference to individual health
Endemic - when the incidence and prevalence of a disease are predictable and stable
Epidemic - a dramatic increase in disease incidence in a population
Epidemiology - the study of disease in populations
Etiology - the precise cause of a disease
