, Hematoma- swelling filled w/ blood
Abrasion- scrape of the skin
Blunt- force- trauma- tearing, shearing, or crushing of tissues
Hypoxia- an insufficiency of oxygen in the body’s tissues ( most
common)
Etiology- study of the cause of disease
Pathogenesis- pattern of tissue changes associated w/ development of
disease
Iatrogenic- disease caused by a medical treatment
Eukaryote- cell of higher animal and plants, many chromosomes
Prokaryotes- single- cell, one chromosomes
Diagnosis- identifying/ naming the disease
Prognosis- expected outcome of a disease
Acute- sudden onset and shout course
Chronic – slowly develops (at least 4 months)
Remission- symptoms relieved for a short time
Exacerbation- symptoms become worse
Cellular differentiation- process by which a cell becomes specialized in
order to perform a specific function( liver cell, blood cell, neuron)
Hypertrophy- abnormal enlargement of cells. (pregnancy, pathogenic)
Ischemia- a condition in which the supply of blood is severely reduced
Anoxia- absence of oxygen
, Apoptosis- type of cell death in which cell use specialized cellular
machinery to kill itself
Somatic death- death of an entire person
Algor mortis- post mortem cooling of the body to the surrounding
temperature
Livor mortis- pooling of blood in tissues after death.
(reddish skin color)
Rigor mortis- muscular stiffening ( 2-4 hours after death, last for 4
days)
Post mortem autolysis- breaks down muscle and other tissues
Isotonic- solute concentration is equal to solute concentration inside
the cell
Hypotonic – low solute to high water concentration water goes into the
cell
Hypertonic- greater concentration of solutes inside the cell
Hydrostatic pressure- pressure exerted by a volume of fluid against a
wall, membrane, or other structures that enclose fluid
Osmotic pressure- pressure pulls water inot the plasma from
interestial (extracellular) spaces
Single- gene disorders- abnormality or mutation of one gene
Multifactorial inheritance- traits carried by multiple genes and
influenced by environment
Haploid- single set chromosomes
Trisomy- 3 copies of a chromosomes
