34
Q

Definition of General Pathology

A

Studdy of the reaction of cells or tissues to injury with a focus on the mechanism of that response

35
Q

A
  1. Circulatory disturbances
  2. Regressive changes
  3. Proliferative changes
  4. Inflamations
  5. Tumours
  6. Developmental abnormalities
36
Q

Definition of special pathology

A

Characteristic changes caused by well-defined diseases grouped according to ORGAN systems

37
Q

Nosos?

A

= Differs from normal.

38
Q

What is the border between normal/abnormal?

- Factors measurable

A

  • Heartbeat
  • Erythrocyte number
39

What is the word for malformation in pathology

A

“Vitium”

40
Q

What is the word for defect in pathology

A

“Defectum”

41
Q

Name a disorder that is not a disease, but still abnormal

A

Polydacthylia (6 fingers etc)

Oligodontia (less teeth)

42
Q

When does the pathological change happen?

A

When the vital function differ –> Pathological change develops

43
Q

Describe disease as a process

A

A disease is a dynamic process(always changing), and functional changes are not always visible

44
Q

What is (a)Etiology?

A

Is the study of the cause of a disease

45
Q

In (a)Etiology we differ between 2 different types of diseases, which?

A
  1. Infectious (morbidity, mortality, lethality)
    - spreading
    - agent
  2. Non-infectious
46
Q

Speaking of infectious diseases, how do we categorize the spreading of a disease

A 
Endemic = local
Epidemic = within a country
Pandemic = worldwide
47
Q

Speaking of infectious diseases, what are the different agents for a disease to spread

A

Bacterial
Viral
Parasitic
Fungal

48
Q

In (a)Etiology we talk about the appearance of a disease, what are the different groups of appearances of a disease

A
  1. Continous
  2. Periodic
  3. Paroxysmal (comes back from time to time)
49
Q

In (a)Etiology we talk about the duration of a disease, what are the different groups of durations of a disease

A
  1. Fulminant = drops dead
  2. Peracute = no lesions
  3. Acute = lesions

50
Q

What happens in a fulminant duration of a disease

A

The animal drops dead

51
Q

A

The animal has no lesions

52
Q

What happens in an acute duration of a disease

A

The animal has lesions

53
Q

When the disease is followed by recovery its called

A

“Sanatio”

54
Q

When the disease is followed by death its called

A

“Exitus Lethalis”

55
Q

“Recidiva”- Recurens = goes back to disease

56
Q

When the disease is followed by HEALING its called

A

“Sanatio”

57
Q

When the disease is followed by a mild degree of functional changes its called

A

“Recreatio” - Revivification

58
Q

When the disease is followed by complete recovery its called

A

“Regeneratio”
“Restitutio ad Integrum”
= Lost cells are replaced by new (corresponding tissue)

59
Q

When the disease is followed by tissue alteration its called

A

“Reparatio”
“Organisatio”
= Tissue alterations replaced by connective tissue
= Scartissue

60
Q

When the disease is followed by localization of necrotic parts its called

A

“Demarcatio”

= eg. Abcess, abscess in lung horse (picture)

61
Q

What is necrosis

A

Necrosis is the death of part of someone’s body, for example, because it is not getting enough blood.

62
Q

When the disease is followed by permanent morphological/structural changes its called

A

“Restitutio cum defectu”

  • Secondary disease will develop from here
  • “Locus minoris resistentia” - after rib fracture eg.
63
Q

What is “mors”

A

Irreversible cessation of life of the whole organism (different from necrosis)
= DEATH

64
Q

What is a natural and pathologic (-disease) death?

A

Aging

Usually, all die from pathological death

65
Q

What is “Gerontology”?

A

Senile atrophy = shrinking

66
Q

What is “Dissimilation”?

A

–> Assimilation = Decreased hormone production, adaptability, immune response (young, old), healing etc.
= “Enhanced” sensibility to diseases
Natural lifespan is variable (optimal conditions)

67
Q

What is “Atria Mortis”

A

Brain, Heart, Lungs

= if one die, all die!

68
Q

What is “Mors Subita”

A

Sudden death

69
Q

What is “Clinical death”

A

= No breathing, no heartbeat
but tissue survive for a while
eg. Transplantation of organs
= Pathological agony

70
Q

What is “agony”

A

= “Death struggle” (Euthanasia)

  • loss of senses
  • constrictions
  • convulations
  • CO2
  • Final relaxation of muscles
71
Q

How to recognize death

A

no reflex (pupils–>brain death)
no heartbeat
no response to stimuli (sensory or sensitive)
= When postmortem changes start = obvious
