T/F: It is important to understand T: It is important to understand cellular processes to understand disease
cellular processes to understand
disease
The cell is the basis of all _____ _____ Disease processes
Why is it important to understand cell Because the cell is the basis of all disease processes
function, cell structure, how cells
interact with each other, & cell
environment?
What is the definition of - The study of disorders
pathophysiology? - The breakdown of the human body's function
When does disease occur? When there is a disruption of homeostasis or deviation from abnormal
- An internal relative consistency
What is homeostasis? - A self-regulating, give & take system that responds to minor changes
in the body through compensatory mechanisms
Homeostasis is a___process Dynamic
What is an example of homeostasis? Stable vital signs
Every part of the human body, from the Balance
smallest cells to the largest organs,
need
____to maintain its usual functions
In some cases, such as with pH, even Minimal
_____ changes can cause significant &
life-
threatening problems
The human body is constantly External stressors
engaging in multiple strategies to
maintain homeostasis & addressing
_______________________________,
such
as injury or organ invasion that may tip
the balance in one way or another
T/F: Equilibrium is necessary for all T: Equilibrium is necessary for all cells
cells
Which type of feedback is the most Negative feedback is the most common compensatory mechanism
common?
Negative feedback has an " " Opposite
response
to achieve balance
Glucose regulation
What is an example of negative
- An individual eats sugar, so the body releases insulin to place
feedback?
glucose into the cells & to decrease blood glucose levels
Positive feedback moves the body Away
_____ from homeostasis so that an
event can occur & the body can
reattain homeostasis
With positive feedback, an Same
amplified response occurs in the
same/opposite direction as the
original stressor

Labor contractions
What is an example of positive - The body perpetuates contractions during the event of labor so
feedback? childbirth can occur & the body can return to a state of homeostasis
Positive feedback___an event Perpetuates
T/F: If there is only one imbalance, F: The body may use many means to correct one imbalance to attain homeostasis
the body uses only one means to
correct the imbalance to maintain
homeostasis
- Age
- Gender
- Genetics
What are factors that determine
- Ethnicity
baseline normal for patients?
- Geographic area
- Time of day
- Environment
Which aspects of the environment - Altitude
can determine baseline normal - Temperature
for patients?
How can altitude affect an individual's The higher the altitude, the less O2 in the environment, so the body
baseline/normal? must create more RBCs, so the individual will have slightly thicker blood
What is the definition of etiology? The cause or reason for the event/disease
- Idiopathic
What are the 2 types of etiologies?
- Iatrogenic
What is the definition of idiopathic An unknown cause
etiology?
What is the definition of iatrogenic An unintended effect of a medical treatment
etiology?
What is the definition of pathogenesis? The development & evolution of a disease
- The signs & symptoms of the disease
Clinical manifestations include: - The stages of the disease
- If the disease is acute or chronic
- Short-lived
Acute
- Has a sudden onset
- Long-term
Chronic - Develops overtime
- Does not resolve
What is the definition of epidemiology? The branch of science that analyzes patterns of diseases in a group of people
- The patient's history
In order to understand - Where the patient lives
pathophysiology, we need a solid - Epidemiology of the patient's region
working knowledge of which of the - Normal & diseased states
following? - All of the above
T/F: Cells have the ability to exchange T: Cells have the ability to exchange material within their environment
material within their environment
Cells have the ability to obtain energy - Oxygen
from organic nutrients, _____ &___are key - Glucose
What is glucose? A carbohydrate that comes from sugared foods
Why are oxygen & glucose key for Because when cells have both oxygen & glucose, they have the
cells to create energy? ability to create ATP
T/F: Cells have the ability to T: Cells have the ability to create complex molecules
create complex molecules
