histooo Flashcards
Refers to the sequence of events in the response of cells or tissues to the etiologic agent, from the initial stimulus to the ultimate expression of the disease.
Pathogenesis
Structural alterations in cells or tissues that are either characteristic of a disease or diagnostic of an etiologic process.
Molecular and Morphological changes
functional consequences of these changes.
clinical manifestations
Most of the common afflictions are multifactorial and arise from the effects of various external triggers on a genetically susceptible individual.
etiology
concerned with the reaction of cells
and tissues to abnormal stimuli and inherited defects.
general pathology
examines the alterations in specialized organs and tissues that are responsible for disorders that involves organs
systemic pathology
equilibrium of the microenvironment of the cell.
homeostasis
are reversible functional and structural responses to more severe physiologic stresses and some pathologic stimuli, during which new but altered steady states are achieved, allowing the cell to survive and continue to function
adaptions
