Cellular Basis Of Disease Flashcards
Part 1: The Language of Disease
What is Disease or Pathology?
- Pathology =
- Disease =
- Diseases are d_______
How can you tell when someone is in a disease state?
- the physical manifestation of a disease
- defined as both the cause of the initial insult and also the pattern of a response that an organism has to that initial insult
- Dynamic
Often the body’s response to the injury is actually more of a negative manifestation than the initial injury ie. HIV -> AIDS
Concept of “Normal”
- Sources of Variation
- G_______
- A___
- S___
- Sit______
- T_____
- L_______ Conditions
- Variation
- Genetics
- Age
- Sex
- Situational
- Time
- Laboratory Conditions
- For many “normal” physiologic parameters = there is a range (ie BP) based on population sampling*
- Situational ex) someone living at high altitude*
- Time ex) assessing testosterone in men, highest in the morning (assessing hormone levels)*
- Lab ex) diff labs have diff ranges*
The Language of Disease
- Etiology =
- Pathogenesis =
- Clinical Manifestations =
-
“cause”
- Idiopathic: cause of disease unknown
- interaction btwn initial injury and body’s response to it to produce abnormal function - and the ultimate disease that emerges (more so from the body’s response)
-
the observable consequences of a diseae - S/S
- Sign = objective, measurable (fever, rash, abnormal gait)
- Symptom = subjective, felt by patient, must be reported by the patient
Causes of Cell Injury Categories

- Ia_______
- Inanimate
- Force
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Radiation
- Electricity

- Iatrogenic - conditions inadvertently caused by medical care (ie. AKI from contrast)
Extrinsic: Infectious Causes
- Animation =
- Pathogenic O_______
- V____/B_____/F_____
- Pro_____
- Pathogenic A_____
- In_____/W______
- Animate
- Organism
- Viruses/Bacteria/Fungi
- Protozoa
- Animals
- Insects/Worms
Unknown Causes of Cell Injury
=
Idiopathic = uknown origin (ie essential HTN)
Factors of Pathogenesis
(4)
- Time = how long exposure was to the injury
- Quantity = how much exposure to injury
- Location = which part of the body (ie DVT vs. PE)
- Morphological Changes = morphological adaptations by cells and tissues in the body
Clinical Manifestations
- Sign =
- Symptoms =
-
Changes with time:
- Latent period =
- Prodromal period =
- Acute Period
- measurable, observable
- subjective, felt/reported by patient
- Changes with time
- period of no S/S, period of quiet
- first appearance of S/S
-
Severity of S/S reach its peak
- after this either recovery or chronic period
- Syndrome: sterotypical combination of signs and symptoms that presents for a disease/is expressed*
- Ex) acute stage viral syndromes such as HIV*
Making a Diagnosis: Methods
- ______ Methods
- S/S
- ______ Methods
- U___alysis (f____ analysis)
- _____ Analysis
- Blood c____, ch_____, c_____, / S____
- T____ Diagnosis
- Electro_______
- Ra_____
This all leads to you making what type of diagnosis?
- Clinical
- Laboratory
- Urinalysis/Fecal
- Blood
- counts, chemistry, culture/ Serology
- Tissue (biopsy)
- Electrocardiogram
- Radiography
Differential Diagnosis
Serology - looks at antibodies (ie. looking at if someone was exposed to Hep B - looking for IgF or IgM)
Part 2 Maintaining Cellular Function
The Cellular Basis of DIsease
- Levels of organization
- specialized ____ -> specialized _____ -> ______ -> organ ______ -> those organ systems help maintain normal _____ of the entire organism
- Cellular Response to Injury
- Interdependence of cells and systems =
- Maintaining Cellular function?
- Cells don’t have direct ____ to anything
- What cells need to maintain normal function = by body’s system to maintain normalcy of ECF with ______, adequate v_____, p_____
- ICF: we maintain ICF by maintaining the ____
- Levels
- cells -> tissues -> organs -> systems -> function
- Cell response to injury
- = Normal function of a cell allows for normal function of a system and vice versa
- Maintaining cellular function
- access
- Oxygen, Volume, Pressure
- ECF
The Interior and Exterior Cell Environment
ICF
ECF (2)
Intracellular Fluid
Extracellular Fluid
- Interstitial Fluid (btwn cells and blood vessels)
- Intravascular Fluid = plasma within blood vessels
Important Factors in Maintaining Cellular Homeostasis
(5)
Cell Volume (Water and Osmolyte Balance)
Electrolyte Balance
Maintaining pH
Cell Metabolism
Cell Transport
- Cell Volume - too much or too little can cause death*
- Electrolyte - especially Na, K, Ca- effects cell activity*
- pH - V tightly controlled*! (as well as temp) - every enzyme that catalyzes reactions that our body relies - enzymes (proteins will denature if pH is imbalanced)*
- Cell Metabolism - set of chemical reactions that allow cells to generate heat and ATP, conversion of energy (food) into energy in form of heat*
- Cell Transport - normal movement of substances across the membrane*
Maintaining Cell Volume
- By maintaining _____ and _____ balance
- Water
- _________ system
- Osmolytes (Sodium and Potassium)
- ________ system
- ________ system
- Water
- water, osmolyte
- Water
- ADH/Thirst System
- Osmolytes
- Renin-Angiotensin System (systemically)
- Na+/K+ ATPase pumps (intracellulary)
- Water
- Osmolyte balance = osmolarity of ICF = osmolarity of ECF (equal # of osmolytes on both sides)*
- If unbalanced, water follows osmolytes (Na+, K+ are the main ones)*
Systemic Control of Water Balance
- Body water is _____ from two primary sources
- water _____ alone or in food
- water liberated from ______ processes
- Body water is primarily ____ through three routes
- water lost through _____
- water lost through _____
- water lost through _____
- gained
- consumed aka ADH system
- metoblic
- lost
- urine obvs the most significant unless in a diarrheal state etc.
- feces
- sweat
ADH- Thirst System

- _____ creates feelings of ____ and ____ _____ releases more ____
- The person _____ water and ____ stimulates kidneys to reabsorb more water
- Water level rises above normal range
- ______ detects low solute concentration
- ______ releases ___ ADH
- Kidneys reabsorb ____ water
- Water loss
- Hypothalamus
- hypothalamus - thirst and posterior pituitary - more ADH
- dirnks, ADH
- Water gain
- hypothalamus
- Pituitary, less ADH
- less water reabsorbed
