Intro Flashcards
Study of disruption of normal bodily function (homeostasis) due to disease or physiology of abnormal function
pathophysiology
Study of structural or morphological abnormalities expressed as diseases of cells, tissues, organs, and whole systems
pathology
The impairment of cells, tissues, organs, or body system functions. (illness or being sick)
Disease
Dynamic steady state marked by regulatory responses by the body (health)
Homeostasis
Best way to diagnose?
Figure out the pathology (under a microscope)
Cause of disease or disorder (genetic, acquired, infectious)
etiology
unidentifiable cause
idiopathic disease
result of medical tx
iatrogenic
disorder occurring during fetal development. Example of one:
-congenital -congenital berry aneurysm
infectious disorder as result of being inside a hospital (hospital acquired)
nosocomial
inherited disease
genetic
Loses muscle, one vessel going into two vessels
non-ruptured congenital berry aneurysm
Ruptured congenital berry aneurysm ruptures into where?
Subarachnoid space (location of CSF) is fatal
Severe disorder w/ quick onset, usually self-limiting w/ signs/sxs -Example?
Acute disease -Acute MI
Long term continuous disease process, exacerbations/remissions, usually not curable -Example?
Chronic disease -Chronic Ulcerative Colitis
