Anatomy = structure - how body is put together
Physiology = function - how components work together
Pathophysiology
the study of alteration in the structure and function of:
- cells
- tissues
- organs
caused by injury or disease
Disease
functional impairment of:
- cells
- tissues
- organs & organ systems
Pathogenesis
origination and development at the point of the disease onset
Pathophysiology: Risk Factors
vulnerabilities that we present to increase the chances that a disease may occur
Idiopathic
,describes a condition that does not have a clear etiology
Nosocomial
illnesses that are causes by exposure to the health care environment
Latrogenic
of or relating to illness caused by medical examination or treatment
Local Manifestations
directly at the sire of disease
confined to a specific area
Systemic Manifestations
present through the body
not confined to an area
Acute
begins abruptly
few days to a few months
Chronic
Gradual
last longer than 6 mos.
Remission
symptom free
Exacerbation
symptoms flare
Asymptomatic
, disease with no symptoms
regular checkups and lab work are key interventions to detect

identification of disease
based on signs and symptoms
Prognosis
the forecast or prediction of how an individual will proceed through the health condition
Syndrome

predictable pattern
Incidence
new cases of disease
probability that a disease will occur in a certain population
Prevalence
# of people with a disease
# or % of a population affected by a particular disease at a given time
Endemic
