Answers and Rationals
Physiology - ANSWER: the study of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs
of the body that cause or are caused by disease.
Pathophysiology - ANSWER: the cellular and organ changes that occur with disease, but also with the
effects that these changes have on total body function
Disease - ANSWER: an interruption, cessation, or disorder of a body system or organ structure that is
characterized usually by a recognized etiologic agent or agents, an identifiable group of signs and
symptoms, or consistent anatomic alterations.
disease - ANSWER: an interruption, cessation, or disorder of a body system or organ structure that is
characterized usually by a recognized etiologic agent or agents, an identifiable group of signs and
symptoms, or consistent anatomic alterations
etiology - ANSWER: cause of disease
pathogenesis - ANSWER: is the sequence of cellular and tissue events that take place from the time of
initial contact with an etiologic agent until the ultimate expression of a disease
morphology - ANSWER: fundamental structure or form of cells or tissues
symptoms - ANSWER: subjective complaint noted by the person with the disorder
risk factor - ANSWER: multiple factor that predispose to a particular disease
congenital conditions - ANSWER: defect that are present at birth
syndrome - ANSWER: compilation of signs and symptoms that are characterized of a specific disease
diagnosis - ANSWER: designation as to nature cause of health problem
validity - ANSWER: an estent to which a measurement tool measures what it is expected to measure
reliability - ANSWER: estent to which observation if repeated gives same result
standardization - ANSWER: improving the trueness and validity of measured values
sensitivity - ANSWER: number of people with true positive result of a disease
specificity - ANSWER: number of people with true negative result of a disease
acute disorder - ANSWER: relatively sever but self limiting
chronic disease - ANSWER: continuous and long term
subacute - ANSWER: intermediate between chronic and acute
preclinical stage - ANSWER: the disease is not clinically evident yet but it is destined to be
