Introduction to Pathology Flashcards
is the study of structure and function of the body in disease.
pathology
the act identifying a disease from its signs and symptoms.
diagnosis
prospect of recovery as expected from the usual cause of disease.
prognosis

Diseases in ancient time is states that;
it is supernatural
Egyptian medicine
disease caused by God and Goddesses
Greek and Roman Medicine
they believed that medicine is forced humors. (blood, flame) inbalanced
in what year modern medicine began?
1543
four cardinal signs of inflammation
redness, swelling, heat and pain
in what year a compound microscope produced?
1595
discovered cells
robert hooke
is the study of functional, biochemical, morphological alteration of cells
pathology
what is the meaning of disease?
it is a condition which an individual suffer from discomfort
any deviation of structure
disease
observation of abnormalities
clinical signs
manifestation of disease apparent to the patient himself
symptoms
4 aspects of disease
etiology
pathogenesis
morphological changes
clinical significance
the cause of disease
etiology
genetic
intrinsic
acquired
infectious, nutritional, chemical, physical etc
mechanism or sequence. progressive development of a disease process from the time it is iniated to its conclusion in recovery or death.
pathogenesis
the structural alteration either gross or microscopically
morphological changes
nature of morphologic changes
clinical significance
any structural (functional) abnormality of organ tissue
lesion
sign that is specifically distinctive of characteristic of particular disease.
pathogenic lesion
2 major discipline
- Medical Pathology (Human disease)
- Veterinary Pathology (Animal disease)
reaction of tissue whereas have similarities in other species
comparative pathology
Major Division of Pathology
Anatomic Pathology
Clinical Pathology
disease in cells, tissues and organs
anatomic pathology
study of disease in body fluids and secretions or excretions
clinical pathology
subdivision of anatomic pathology
general pathology
systemic pathology
diagnostic pathology
surgical pathology
experimental pathology
molecular pathology
immuno pathology
toxico pathology
deals with mechanism of disease
general pathology
specific disease of organs or systems
systematic pathology
tissues abnormalities using gross exam or histopathology
diagnostic pathology
deals with biopsy materials
surgical pathology
manipulation disease
experimental pathology
diseases at molecular level
molecular pathology
disease caused by immune system
immunopathology
disease or induced by toxicants
toxicopathology
first line defense
neutrophils
methods
histopathology examination
microscopy bacteriological examination
host defenses
- mechanical defense
- anatomical defense
- physiologic defense
- immunologic defense
ex. reflex reaction like sneezing, scratching, coughing
mechanical defense
ex. placental barrier, blood brain barrier, tight junctions.
anatomical defense
ex. urination, salivation, defecation, shading of tears
physiologic defense
