Test Bank for Comprehensive Radiographic
Pathology 7th Edition WITH VERIFIED Q AND S
edema - Abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of tissues.
anasarca - generalized swelling of subcutaneous tissues, throughout the body
elephantiasis - Localized lymphatic obstruction resulting in localized edema
ischemia - an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the
heart muscles.
infraction - complete blockage, most common seen in myocardial and pulmonary.
necrosis - cellular level premature death of cell occurs
gangrene - life threatening, considerable mass of living healthy tissue dies
hematoma - a solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues.
hemorrhage - the loss of a large amount of blood in a short time
atrophy - reduction in size, corresponding decrease in function
hypertophy - increase in cell size
Hyperplasia - increase in number of cells
dysplasia - Loss of uniformity of individual cells and their architectural orientation
metastasize - the process by which cancer spreads from one place to another
neoplasia - no longer controlled by factors govern normal growth ex: tumors
benign - closely resemble their cells of origin in structure and fucntion
benign - remain localized with spreading surgically removed
malignant - neoplasms invade and destroy adjacent structures and spread to distant
sites.
