The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution of diseases The relative number of deaths
resulting from a particular disease
Identification of a specific disease through evaluation of signs and symptoms
The global search for emerging diseases: The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution of diseases
2. Cell damage may be caused by exogenous sources such as:
abnormal metabolic processes. certain food additives.
genetic defects.
localized hypoxia.: certain food additives
3. Caseation necrosis refers to an area where:
cell proteins have been denatured. cell are liquefied
by enzymes.
dead cells form a thick cheesy substance.
bacterial invasion has occurred.: dead cells form a thick cheesy substance
4. Routine application of sun block to skin would be an example of: an iatrogenic cause of cancer.

6. A collection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more than one organ or system, that usually occur
together in response to a certain condition is referred to as a (an):
acute disease. multiorgan
disorder. syndrome.
manifestation.: syndrome

8. Pathophysiology involves the study of:
the structure of the human body.
the functions of various organs in the body.
functional or structural changes resulting from disease processes.
