Gould's Pathophysiology Chapter 1 65
CORRECTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS LATEST
UPDATE
1). Pathophysiology
Ans: the study of functional or physiologic changes in the body that result from disease
processes.
2). Pathology
Ans: the laboratory study of cell and tissue changes associated with disease.
3). Homeostasis
Ans: the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment regardless of external
changes.
4). Diagnosis
Ans: identification of a specific disease through evaluation of signs and symptoms
laboratory tests or other tools. More than one factor is usually required to verify a
diagnosis.
5). Etiology
Ans: concerns the causative factors in a particular disease. there may be one or
several causative factors.
6). Idiopathic
Ans: when the cause of a disease is unknown.
7). Iatrogenic
Ans: a treatment, a procedure, or an error may cause a disease

, 8). Predisposing factors
Ans: Encompass the tendencies that promote development of a disease in an
individual.
9). Prophylaxis
Ans: designed to preserve health (as of an individual or society) and prevent the spread
of disease. Prophylactic treatment for myocardial infarction for high-risk patients is a
baby aspirin daily.
10). Prevention
Ans: closely linked to etiology and predisposing factors for a specific disease.
Preventive measures include vaccinations, dietary or lifestyle modifications, removal of
harmful materials in the environment, and cessation of potentially harmful activities such
as smoking.
11). Pathogenesis
Ans: development of the disease or the sequence of events involved in the tissue
changes related to the specific disease process.
12). Acute
Ans: onset of a disease that is sudden and obvious. short term illness that develops
quickly
13). Insidious
Ans: onset of a disease that is gradual and progression with only vague or very mild
signs.
14). Chronic
Ans: often a milder condition developing gradually but it persist for a long time and
usually causes more permanent tissue damage.
15). Subclinical state
