Pathology (Cell & Tissue Damage) Flashcards
This is the study (logos) of suffering/diseases and involves basic medical sciences and clinical practice
Pathology
It investigates the causes of the disease and the mechanism
Pathology
Refers to the study of the cause of the disease
Etiology
Give the genetic categories of etiological agents
(G, I, C, R, M, M)
Geneticabnormalities
Infectiveagents
chemical
radiation
mechanical trauma
malnutrition
Is a mechanism of the disease which etiology operates to produce the pathological and clinical manifestation
Pathogenesis
Examples of Pathogenesis
(I, D, I)
Inflammation, degeneration, immune response
Refers to the process of attempting to determine or identify a possible disease or disorder
Diagnosis
Refers to the expected outcome of a disease.
Prognosis
is the onset of the disease in a person who is already coping with another existing disease
Complication
Disease A caused disease B
Complication or Sequalae
Sequalae
unwanted outcomes of having disease or are the result of trauma
Sequalae
Are the signs and symptoms or evidence of disease
Clinical Manifestation
objective alteration that can be observe or measured by another person
Signs
subjective experiences reported by the person,
complains such as pain, nausea, vomiting etc
Symptoms
Is the study of tracking patterns of diseases occurrence and transmission among populations and by geographic areas.
Epidemiology
is the number of new cases occurring in specific time of period
Incidence of a disease
is the number of existing cases within a populations during the specific time of period.
Prevalence of a disease
Shrinkage of the size of the cells by the lost of the cells substance
Atrophy
Increase the size of the cells and consequently the size of the organs
Hypertrophy
Increase the number of cells in an organ or tissue. (increase rate of cellular division)
Hyperplasia
Is a reversible change in which one adult cell type is replaced by another cell type.
Metaplasia
Seen in smokers
Metaplasia
Abnormal change in the size, shape and organization of mature cells that is strongly associated with common neoplastic growth
Dysplasia
Cell injury:
Cell degeneration
Nonlethal injury
