Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology Chapter 1 Exam Questions and Answers Solved Correctly
Pathology - Answers The study of disease that can cause
abnormalities in the structure or function
of various organ systems.
Disease - Answers The pattern of the body's response to some form of injury that causes a deviation
from or variation of normal conditions
Pathogenesis - Answers The manner of the development of a disease
Acute Disease - Answers Generally develops suddenly and lasts a short time and are often caused by a
virus or infection, traumatic injury, or misuse of medication or drugs.
Chronic Diseases - Answers Develop slowly and may worsen over an extended period of time. Often
caused by unhealthy behaviors that increase the risk of disease like poor nutrition, inadequate physical
activity, overuse of alcohol or smoking. Social, emotional and environmental and genetic factors also
play a role as people age.
Manifestations - Answers A set of characteristics known as signs or symptoms resulting from the disease
process
Signs - Answers Measurable or objective manifestations that can be identified or observed by another
person. An example would be vital signs.
Symptoms - Answers Subjective manifestations such as pain or loss of smell or taste.
Asymptomatic - Answers Having no signs or symptoms while having a disease
Diagnosis - Answers The identification of the nature of an illness or the precise disease process affecting
the patient
Prognosis - Answers Expected outcome based on the diagnosis and the etiology
Etiology - Answers The underlying cause of the disease
Idiopathic - Answers When the etiology of a disease is unknown
Syndrome - Answers A condition characterized by group of signs, symptoms and disease processes
Mortality - Answers The number of deaths caused by an illness or event over a specific period of time
Morbidity - Answers Any condition that isn't healthy, whether it be a physical or mental Illness
Incidence - Answers The number of individuals who develop a specific disease or experience a specific
health-related event during a particular time period
, Prevalence - Answers The total number of individuals in a population who have a disease or health
condition at a specific period of time, usually expressed as a percentage of the population
Acute inflammation - Answers The tissue's initial response to an injury from trauma, infectious
organisms or exposure to irritating chemical substances
First phase of Inflammatory Process - Answers The arterioles and capillaries and venules dilate causing
hyperemia which results in redness and heat. The hyperemia then causes the venules and capillaries to
become permeable allowing a protein rich plasma that crosses the vessel walls into the interstitium
causing swelling which causes pressure on the nerve endings resulting in pain.
Hyperemia - Answers rush of blood flow that occurs in inflammatory process.
Phagocytosis - Answers Process by which white blood cells enzymatically digest infecting organisms and
cellar debris in inflammatory process.
Granulation tissue - Answers Combination of developing capillaries and proliferating or multiplying
fibroblasts, which produce connective tissue fibers, collagen, that then replaces dead tissue.
5 Clinical Manifestations of Inflammation - Answers Rubor (redness), Calor (heat), tumor (selling), Dolor
(pain), and loss of function.
Suppurative Inflammation - Answers Inflammatory response that occurs when bacterial organisms
produce toxins and then damage the tissues, producing pus, inflammatory exudate and bacteria.
Abscess and Bacteremia - Answers Suppurative inflammations under the skin or in an organ can cause
______________________ and _____________________
Edema - Answers Accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the intracellular tissue spaces or body
cavities.
Localized Edema - Answers Edema that occurs from an inflammatory reaction/response causing the
escape of protein-rich intravascular fluid into the extravascular tissue or from from an obstruction to
lymphatic drainage.
Generalized Edema - Answers Occurs with pronounced swelling of subcutaneous tissues throughout the
body and usually happens in patients with congestive heart failure or cirrhosis of the liver or renal
diseases.
