NR283 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
Terms in this set (207)
the study of functional/physiologic changes in the body that result from disease
pathophysiology
processes at a cellular level
homeostasis is maintained by the body's blood pressure, temperature and fluid
how is homeostasis maintained
balance
Slow process, More likely with aging
Mutation,Proofreading
Genetics - tumor suppressor gene
Carcinogenesis
***The more times DNA is copied and a cell replicates, the greater chance an
error is being made, a mistake is being overlooked, and a mutation is being
passed on
No Genetic component happens to
Aging
everyone easily confused with pathology
Hallmark signs of cancer
identification of a specific disease through evaluation of signs and symptoms,
diagnosis
lab test or tools
etiology causative factors in a particular disease
idiopathic cause of disease is unknown
Tendencies that promote development of a disease in an individual. Indicates high
Predisposing factors or Risk factors
risk for disease
Nucleus Manual of cell, determines function/cell cycle, contains DNA
Lysozomes Acid enzymes eat cell from inside out
Ribosomes Protein synthesis
Proteins Fuel source, chemical messengers, carry things in and out of cell
Cilia Facilitate movement
Cytoskeleton Structure
ATP Made in mitochondria
Prophylaxis Preventative spread of disease Ex prophylactic antibiotics
Pathogenesis The step by step process of the disease at a cellular level
Onset The beginning of something when individual first develops symptoms
Acute Short term illness that developed quickly & abruptly, rapidly progressive
Chronic Mild condition developing gradually, lasting a long period of time
Latent Hidden or Dormant, incubation period
Manifestations Clinical evidence or effects, the signs and symptoms of disease.
Local Affecting a specific part/area
Systemic Affecting entire body
Signs Objective things you can see Ex. Edema
Symptoms Subjective things the patient experiences Ex. Headache
What you are at risk for because you have the disease Ex. You have
Complications
hypertension therefore a complication is CAD
prognosis probability or likelihood for Recovery or other outcomes
