Q

Identified agents of disease include:

A

Biological
Physical
Chemical
Nutritional
Immunologic factors

25
Biologic agents
Pathogenecity
26
The capacity to cause disease determine the level of damage to the host
Pathogenicity
27
The developmental process from the culmination of the disease to its termination
Pathogenesis
28
The disease process in progress, the alterations in the normal functions
Pathophysiology
29
The conclusion derived from the study of the cause and pathogenesis of the disease
Diagnosis
30
The probable outcome of such a disease
Prognosis
31
Study of the cause of disease
Etiology
32
Provides the precise cause of the disease
Aetiologic disease
33
As disease processes started and progresses there are four possible outcomes
Healing and recovery Death Functional deficit Impasse
34
Steady state where the agent cannot cause damage any further sufficiently to cause functional impairment or death
Impasse
35
Defensive mechanisms against biologic agents of disease which classified under broad categories as:
Mechanical Anatomic Physiologic Immunologic defense
36
Example of mechanical
Reflex reactions such as sneezing, coughing
37
Anatomic barriers include:
Blood brain barrier s Placental barriers
38
Example of Physiologic response
Phagocytic cells(neutrophils, macrophages) Natural killer cells
39
Immunologic defenses
White blood cell(lymphocytes) Reactive plasma proteins
40
Four aspects of a disease form the core of pathology
Etiology Pathogenesis Morphologic changes Clinical significance
41
The mechanisms or sequence of events leading from initiation of cell or tissue injury to disease development
Pathogenesis
42
The structural alterations in cells or tissue that are often characteristics of the disease
Morphologic changes
43
The nature of the morphologic changes and their distribution in organs/ tissue influence normal function and determine the clinical signs, course and prognosis of the disease
Clinical Significance
44
A lesion or sign that is specifically distinctive or characteristics
Pathognomonic
45
Refers to any outside or inside influences in the animal or individual that would cause changes either in physiology and morphology of the cell
Injury
46
Anything that upsets the homeostasis of the cell
Injury
47
Any stimulus or succession of stimulus of such magnitude that tend to disrupt the homeostasis of the organism
Stress
48
The maintenance of the steady state in an organism by coordinated physiological processes or feedback mechanisms
Homeostasis
49
Refers to the degree of pathogenicity
Virulence
50
Usually defined as examination of a human body
Autopsy
51
The examination of any other animal
Necropsy
52
The removal and examination of tissue from the living body to establish a precise diagnosis
Biopsy
53
Types of diagnosis
Differential diagnosis Morphological diagnosis Clinical diagnosis Etiological diagnosis Disease(definitive) diagnosis
54
A list of diagnosis that could account for the history, clinical signs or lesions in a case
Differential diagnosis
55
Pathology provide the basis for understanding:
The mechanisms of disease The classification of disease The diagnosis of disease The basis of treatment Monitoring the progress of disease Determining prognosis Understanding complications
56
SNOMED- Standard classification of disease- considers the following aspects:
Topography Morphology Etiology Function Disease Procedure Occupation
57
Working tools
Physical contact Naked eye Alert mind Cellary methods
