Module 1 Flashcards
Is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination
Pathology
What are the subspecialties of Anatomic pathology?
Surgical, Cytopathology, and Forensic Pathology
Concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on laboratory analysis of bodily fluids using tools
Clinical Pathology
Are doctors of veterinary medicine who specialize in the diagnosis of disease through examination of animal tissue and bodily fluids
Veterinary pathologist
What are the 4 branches of Veterinary Pathology
General, Systemic, Nutritional, Clinical and Diagnostic Pathology
Deals with disease at cellular and tissue levels.
General Pathology
Deals with disease at organ and organ system levels
Systemic Pathology
Deals with diseases associated with nutrient deficiencies or excesses
Nutritional Pathology
Deals with disease evaluation through diagnostic and laboratory tests

Autopsy
Post mortem examination of animal body
Necropsy
Morphological abnormalities in tissues
Lesions (lx)
Morphological abnormalities lead to?
Functional abnormalities
Functional abnormalities observed in pations
Clinical signs (c/s)
Functional abnormalities felt by the patient themselves
Symptoms (sx)
Pertains to any cause of disease
Etiology
The study of theory of causation of diseases
Etiology
Disease of unknown causation

the process if disease development
Pathogenesis
Possible outcome of disease
Prognosis
What are the 3 Language of Pathology

Lesion, sign or symptom distinctive or characteristic of a particular disease
Pathognomonic
3 Possible Result of Disease (Prognosis)
Full Recovery, Partial Recovery, Death
Name given to a disease after set of procedures performed to determine its occurrence
Diagnosis
What are the 4 Types of Diagnoses
Morphologic, Etiologic, Clinical, and Definitive
Diagnosis based on lesions
Morphological Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on causal agents
Etiologic Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on apparent signs and result of laboratory tests
Clinical Diagnosis
The naming of disease based on morphologic, etiologic and clinical diagnosis
Definitive Diagnosis
Patient care and management to combat the disease or distorder
Treatment
Disease control and prevention
Prophylaxis (px)
Theory of Disease causation
Demon, Divine Wrath, Metaphysical Medicine, Universe of Natural Law, and Contagion
This theory states that diseases are due to evil spirits
Demons
This theory states that disease are due to punishment of God
Divine Wrath
This theory states that the position of stars, moon, earth and sun affects animal health
Metaphysical Medicine
This theory states the 4 elements of life and 4 humors affect animal health
Universe of Natural Law
This theory describes contagiousness of disease
Contagion
The spread of disease requiring direct contact
Contagious diseases
The spread of disease not requiring direct contact, may be airborne or inhalation of droplets
Infectious diseases
The state of ill health caused by morphological, functional and biochemical alterations in cells, tissues and organs that underlie the disease
Disease
The state of normal functioning of all body structures ; there is homeostasis
Health
What are the two predisposing factors of Diseases
Extrinsic and Intrinsic

Two types of Disease Manifestation
Clinical disease and Subclinical disease
Overt or apparent signs or symptoms of disease manifestation
Clinical Disease
Covert or inapparent signs or symptoms of disease manifestation
Subclinical Disease
the prevention of infectious disease by the use of chemical agents.
Chemoprophylaxis
the treatment of infectious disease by the use of chemical agents.
Chemotherapy
