33
Q

It is the cause of disease; genetic vs acquired (e.g., infectious, nutritional, chemical, physical, etc.).

A

Etiology

34
Q

It is the mechanisms or sequence of events leading from initiation of cell or tissue injury to disease development.

A

Pathogenesis

35
Q

It is the structural alterations (gross or microscopic) in cells or tissues that are often characteristic of the disease.

A

Morphologic changes

36
Q

It is the nature of the morphologic changes and their distribution in organs/tissues influence normal function and determine the clinical signs, course and prognosis of the disease.

A

Clinical significance

37
Q

It is any structural (or functional) abnormality in an organ, tissue or cell.

A

Lesion

38
Q

It is a gross and microscopic changes (to include biochemical) in a cell, tissue, organ and system as a result of a disease.

A

Lesion

39
Q

It is a a wound or injury; a pathologic change in the tissues.

A

Lesion

40
Q

It is a lesion or sign that is specifically distinctive or characteristic of a disease or pathological condition.

A

Pathognomonic

41
Q

It refers to any outside or inside influences in the animal or individual that would cause changes either in physiology and morphology of the cell.

A

Injury (or injurious agents)

42
Q

It is anything that upsets the homeostasis of the cell.

A

Injury (or injurious agents)

43
Q

It is any stimulus or succession of stimuli of such magnitude that tend to disrupt the homeostasis of the organism.

A

Stress

44
Q

It is the maintenance of the steady state in an organism by coordinated physiological processes or feedback mechanisms.

A

Homeostasis

45
Q

The process through which such bodily equilibrium is maintained.

A

Homeostasis
