COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++
Define pathology
Study of changes in cells & tissues as a result of injury or disease
Define physiology
Mechanisms of human body functioning
Define homeostasis
Tendency for a system to remain in a relatively stable equilibrium
Pathophysiology is what? examines? refers to?
The study of underlying changes in body physiology that result from a disorder or
disease
Signs & symptoms
Alterations in structure & function
Define disease. Results from? Marked by? Identified through?
Impairment of cell, tissue, organ or organ system functioning
Altered body functions & pose challenge for homeostasis
Specific signs & symptoms
Lab & diagnostic tests
Health-Illness Continuum in regards to pathophysiology?
When one part of a system is affected (physical, emotional, etc.) other systems are
also affected
Define pathogenesis
,Pattern of tissue changes associated with the development of disease
Diagnosis is?
Process of determining which disease or condition that explains a person's
symptoms & signs
Pathogenesis: Components: risk factors? etiology means? other components?
Modifiable vs non-modifiable
The cause
Mechanism, progression & resolution of disease
Precipitating factors
Pathophysiology: risk factors are?
Factors that increase a risk to a particular disease
Define etiology
Exact cause of disease
Define idiopathic
A disease or condition which arises to which the cause is unknown
Define nosocomial
Is when a disease originates while a patient is hospitalized
Define iatrogenic
Disease that is a by-product of medical examination or treatment (e.g. bladder
infection after catheter insertion)
Name the 2 types of diagnosis
Syndrome vs prognosis
Define syndrome
, Group of symptoms that occur together
Define prognosis
Expected outcome of a disease
Allergy is? etiology?
A hypersensitive reaction of the immune system
Antigen
Pneumonia is? etiology?
Inflammation of the lungs
Bacterial in nature
Complications is when referring to diseases
Disease that develops in person already coping with existing disorder
Sequelae is?
Unwanted outcome when treating a disease
Clinical Manifestations: is? signs are? symptoms are? local vs systemic?
The presence or absence of disease is often marked by specific signs or symptoms
Observable or measurable
Reported or subjective
Affecting specific parts of the body vs affecting whole systems in the body
Define acute
Abrupt onset & short duration
Define chronic
Develops slowly, symptoms may last a lifetime
Define remission
