AAMI Pathology for Embalmers Final
Exam Review
Candida albicans & Trichonomas vaginitis
Which is/are responsible for causing vaginitis?
Abscess
A cavity containing pus and surrounded by an inflamed tissue
Proctitis
An inflammation of the rectum that may be caused by bacterial infection, parasites,
irritation from fecal matter, or toxic agents
Cholangitis
An inflammation of the bile ducts, which is caused by blockages of the bile ducts, such
as gallstones
Cholecystitis
An inflammation of the gall bladder often caused by the presence of gallstones in the
biliary system
Epidemic parotitis
An inflammation of the salivary glands and gonads, also known as the mumps
Rabies
An acute, infectious disease of the brain and spinal cord, transmitted by saliva of an
infected animal, also known as hydrophobia, the fear of water
Functional disease
A disease that shows no recognizable lesions
Acute disease
A disease having sudden onset and short duration
Fulminating disease
A disease having rapid and severe onset, usually fatal
Ureteritis
Inflammation of the structure that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder
Anuria
The non-passage of urine
Meningitis
Inflammation of the protective coverings around the brain and the spinal cord, or
meninges
Stomatitis
Inflammation of the mouth
Atelectasis
A disease characterized by a collapse or airless condition of the lung, a collapsed lung
Hydrocephalus
Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain causing them
to enlarge and push against the skull, referred to as "water on the brain"
Carbuncle
The union of two or more boils, resulting in this inflammatory lesion
, Acromegaly
Associated with a lion-face appearance, enlarged extremities, such as the hands and
feet
Most common type of emboli
Fragments of thrombi
Renal calculi
Formed when the salts in urine form a precipitate, formed from within the kidney, a
kidney stone or nephrolith
Secondary burn
Infections that are difficult to treat, pseudomonas diseases
Primary atypical pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes this, also known as viral pneumonia
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
The type of pneumonia that can cause lung infections with those who have a weakened
immune system, especially seen in AIDS and HIV
Hydrocele
Fluid in the sac of the vaginalis testis
Epilepsy
A condition which results from some form of interference with normal electrical activity in
the brain. It is marked by repetitive abnormal electrical discharges within the brain
known as seizures.
Pyelonephritis
a suppurative inflammation of the kidney and renal pelvis
Bronchiectasis
A condition of the lung that is characterized by irreversible dilation of the bronchial walls
Pleural effusion
Resulting from an excess amount of exudate in the pleural spaces
Redness, swelling, heat, pain, and loss of function
5 Cardinal signs of inflammation
Cryptorchidism
Failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum
Hydronephrosis
The kidney becomes extremely dilated with urine
Cerebral palsy
A group of chronic disorders characterized by the impairment of control over movement,
causing difficulty in motor tasks
Acute rhinitis
an acute viral infection of the upper respiratory tract
Stenosis
A condition when the esophagus becomes too narrow for food to pass
Renal carcinoma
Carcinoma of the kidney, where the most common symptom is hematuria without pain,
which is blood in the urine
Amyloid disease
A disease in which a waxy, starch-like glycoprotein accumulates in tissues and organs,
impairing their function
