Pathogenesis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔explains how the disease
process evolves. Sequence of cellular and tissue events that
take place from the time of initial contact with an etiologic
agent until the ultimate expression of a disease.
Morphology - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔Refers to the fundamental
structure or form of cells or tissues. Changes are
concerned with both the gross anatomic and microscopic
changes that are characteristic of a disease.
Histology - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔Deals with the study of the
cells and extracellular matrix of body tissues. Sections play
an important role in the diagnosis of many types of
cancers.
Clinical Manifestation - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔make it evident
that the person is sick (fever)

Mortality - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔pertains to the causes of
death in a given population
Tertiary Prevention - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔directed at clinical
interventions that prevent further deterioration or reduce
the complications of a disease that is already present
(antibiotic)
Hyperplasia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔refers to an increase in the
number of cells in an organ or tissue. It occurs in tissues
with cells that are capable of mitotic division, such as the
epidermis, intestinal epithelium, and glandular tissue.
Physiologic Hyperplasia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔hormonal
(pregnancy) and compensatory (partial removal of organ)
Hormonal Physiologic Hyperplasia - . . ANSWER ✔
✔breast and uterine enlargement during pregnancy
