course and outcome of a disease or situation
Morbidity - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔the disease rates within a
group
Epidemic - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔A widespread outbreak of an
infectious disease.
Atrophy - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔decrease in cell size. Ex:
shrinkage of skeletal muscle that occurs when a limb is
immobilized in a cast for several weeks.

solute concentration (ISF) to high concentration (blood)
Diffusion - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔movement of solutes (e.g.
Na+, glucose) from high concentration to low.
hydrostatic pressure - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔the push force
within a blood vessel
edema - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔excessive amount of fluid in the
interstitial compartment, which causes swelling, or
enlargement of tissues.
What are 4 causes of edema? - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔1.
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
2. Loss of plasma proteins, particularly albumin
3. Obstruction of the lymphatic circulation
4. Increased capillary permeability
