Intro To Disease Flashcards
Any harmful deviation from the normal structure of functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury.
Disease
Disease, any harmful _______ from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical _______.
Deviation
Injury
The study of disease is called _______.
Pathology
It involves that it determination of the cause (etiology) of the disease, the understanding of the mechanism of its development (pathogenesis), the structural changes associated with the disease process (morphological changes), and the functional consequences of those changes.
Pathology
The study of what causes the disease.
Etiology
It is the understanding of the mechanisms of its development.
Pathogenesis
It is the structural changes associated with the disease process.
Morphological changes
- It is the normal state of an organism represents a condition of delicate physiological balance.
- it is defined as a self regulating process by which a living organism can maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.
Homeostasis
Two classification of diseases:
Infectious diseases
Non infectious diseases
It is a group of disease resulting from invasion of the animal body by infectious biological or pathogenic agents as bacteria, virus, yeast, and fungi.
Infectious diseases
Four pathogenic agents:
Bacteria
Virus
Yeast
Fungi
- It is a disease that resulting from environmental condition.
- bad ventilation or faults in animal housing.
- mechanical, physical or chemical agents.
- metabolic disorder and nutritional deficiency.
Non infectious diseases
- Viral, asf, rabies, crd, fmd
- Bacterial and fungal, tetanus, leptospirosis, anthrax, tb
- Parasitic diseases
- trematodes, fascioliasis and paramphystoma.
- nematodes, strongylosis, gastrophilus and habronemiasis.
- protozoa, babesiosis, theileriosis, trypanosomiasis and toxoplasmosis.
- Multifactorial, mix infection due to more than one M.O as mastitis.
According to etiology:
Diseases in which occur transmission of causative agent or its products from reservoirs to susceptible host by direct and indirect transmission.
Contagious disease
Infected animals or contaminated an inanimate objects.
Reservoirs
