Patho

QuestionAnswer
gross level organ or system level
microscopic level celluar level
biopsy excision of small amounts of living tissue
autospy examination of the body and organs after death
diagnois indication of a specific disease
cause causative factors in a particular diesase
perdisposing factos- genetics factors that play in tendencies that promote the development of a disease in an individual
pathogenesis- how the disease develops the development of the disease
infarction area of dead cells as a result of oxygen deprication
gangrene area of necrotic tissue that has been invaded by bacteria
liquefaction necrosis dead cells liquefy becuase of release of cell enzymes
coagulative cecrosis cell proteins are alted or denatured-coagulation
fat necrosis fatty tissue broken down into fatty acids
gaseous necrosis form of coagulation necrosis; thick, yellowish "cheesy" substance forms
microorganism bacteria and viruses , for example
abnormal metabolites genetic disorders, inborn errors of metabolism, altered metabolism
apoptosis refers programmed cell death a normal occurrence in the body
ischemia reduced blood supply caiseomg nutritional deficit in the tissue which causes the cells to die
hypoxia reduced oxygen in the the tissue
physical damage excessive heat or cold, radiation exposure
mechanical damage pressure or tearing of tissue
chemical toxins exogenous;from enviroment (outside of the body) exdengous; from inside the body
Causes of Cell damages -apoptosis -physical damage -ischemia -mechanical damage -hypoxia -chemical toxins -microorganisms -abnormal metabolites -nurtitional deficits -imbalace of fluids or electrolytes
metaplasia mature cell tpye is replace by a different type of mature cell type
dysplasia cells vary in size and shaple within a tissue
anaplasia undifferentiated cells, with variable nuclear and cell structures
neoplasia new growth commonly called tumor
atrophy decrease in the size of cells ; results in loss/less/ decrease of tissue mass
hypertrophy increase in cell size; results in enlarged tissue mass
hyperplasia increased number of cells; results in inlarged/ tissue mass increase in number of cells
communicable diseases infection that can spread from one person to another
notifiable or reportable diseases diseases that must be reported by the physician to certain designated authorities
autopsy or postmortem examination performed after death to determine th e exa g cuase of death
occurrence of disease tracked by incidence and prevalence
incidence number of new cases in a given population within a specified time period
pervalence number of new and old cases in a specific population within a specicied time period
epidemics occur when a higher than expected number of cases of an infectious disease occur within a given area
pandemics involve a higher number of cases in many regions of the globe
epidiology scientist who study diease science of indentifying the causative factors and tracking the pattern or occurrence of disease
morbidity indicates the number of cases or instances within a group
mortablity indicates the number of deaths resulting from a particular disease within a group
sequelae unwanted outcomes of primary conditon
convalescene period or recovery
prognosis prbability for recovery or for other cutcome
rehabilitation maximizing the function of diseased tissues
remissions manifestations of the disease subside or are absent
precipitating factor- like asthma condition that triggers as acute episode
complications new secondary or additonal problems
therapy treatmetn meaures to promote recovery or slow the reogress or a disease
incubation period time between to a microorganism and onset of signs and symptoms
prodromal peroid early/ process development of a disease, signs nonspecific or absent
manifestations clinical evidence of disease
sydrome a collection of sign and symptoms; often affects more than one organ
acute disease develops quickly, marked signs, short term
chronic disease often milder, develops gradually, persists for a very long time does greater damage to the tissues, subclinical state, pathologic charges, no obvious manifestations
latent state nor clinical changes collection of symptoms or clinical signs edivent
diagnosis indication of a specific disease
cuase causative factors in a particular disease
predispsing factors-genetics factors that play in the development of the disease
health indicators adjustment can be cuased by age gender genetic enviroment activity level
What are the seven steps to health -be a non smoker & aviod second-hand smoke, -healthy eating,-phsyical activity on a regular basis,-protection form the sun follow cancer screening guidelines,-doctor or dentist vistit if any chages in the normal state of health- follow health & safety for
pathophysiology functional physiologic changes in the body as a result from disease, includes aspects of pathology, which describes structurial changes in body tissues caused by disease
disease prevention has become a primary focus in health care maintaining routine vaccination programs, participation in screening programs, community healht programs, community health programs, regular routine doctos visits
medical history current and prior illnesses, allergies, hospitalizations, treatment, specific difficulties, any tpye of therapy or drugs, presscription, nonprescription, herbal items, including food supplements
anaerobic without oxygen
endogenous originating from within the body
exogenous originating from outside the body
homeostasis a relatively stable or constant environment in the body, including BP, Temperature, and pH, maintained by the various control mechanisms
iatrogenic caused by a treatment, procedure, or error
idiopathic no known cause
inflammation the response to tissue damage, indicated by redness swelling, warmth, and pain
lysis destruction of a cell
morphologic the physical size, form structure, and shape of cells or organs
necrosis death or destruction of tissue
probability the likelihood or change of occurrence
pyroptosis results in lysis ( destruction of a cell) or dissolution of the cell, releasing destructive lysosomal(inflammation) enzymes into the tissue
what triggers pyroptosis? various pathological stimuli like heart attack, stroke, cancer, microbial infections
lysosomal enzymes cause inflammation ( redness, swelling, pain)
what are some ways to prevent disease primary focus in Health Care routine vaccinations participation in screening programs community health programs regular routine DR visits
What does Health refer to? physical, mental and social well- being
What is a deviation from the normal state of homeostasis? Disease
Disease deviation from the normal state of homeostasis
what causes adjustment to health indicators age, gender, genetic, environment, activity level
what are health indicators normal values that occurs within a range of values and may vary depending on the technology used for measurement
What are the Seven steps to health? non smoker, avoid 2nd hand smoke, healthy eating, regular physical activity, sun protection, cancer screenings, visit DR or dentist if any changes in the normal state of health, following health & safety guidelines for hazardous materials
healthy eating includes eating 5-10 servings or vegetable and fruit a day choosing high-fiber foods lower fatty foods limit alcohol intake
what is pathophysiology? pathophysiology refers to a functional physiologic changes that occur in the body as a result from disease
Does pathophysiology use basic Anatomy and Physiology? yes/ true
does aspects of pathology desribe structruial changes in the body tissue that has been caused by disease yes/ true
subclinical state a disease that has no recognizable clincial findings some common diseases that are not recogniziable include diabetes, hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis
clinical state a disease that has signs and symptoms that can be recognized
pathogensis how the disease develops the development of the disease
new development and trends constant updating of info and knowledge- as things change, improved diangostic test, development of more effective drugs, new technologies, extensive research in efforts to prevent, control or cure many disorders- more research
pathophysiology includes? cause and effect relationships, defined by signs and symptoms, gudie the the study of a specific disease
medical history
