Q

PATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF DISEASE

A

–Etiology
–Pathogenesis
–Morphologic changes
– Functional derangements and Clinical
Significance

51
Q

the origin of a disease, including
the underlying causes and modifying
factors

A

Etiology

52
Q

refers to the steps in the
development of disease

A

pathogenesis

53
Q

refer to the structural
alterations in cells or tissues
that occur following the
pathogenetic mechanisms

A

Morphologic
changes

54
Q

determine the clinical
features, course, and
prognosis of the
disease.

A

Functional
derangements and
clinical significance

55
Q

any indication of a disease perceived
by the patient.
