QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS 2026
GRADED A+
⩥ Manifestations of a disease. Answer: Signs and symptoms of a
disease.
⩥ Prognosis. Answer: Predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from
a specific disease.
⩥ Systemic sign of disease. Answer: Fever.
⩥ Etiology. Answer: The study of the causes of a disease.
⩥ Atrophy. Answer: A type of cellular adaptation in which there is a
decrease in cell size.
⩥ Dysplasia. Answer: A change in a tissue marked by cells that vary in
size and shape and show increased mitotic figures.
⩥ Ischemia. Answer: A deficit of oxygen in the cells usually due to
respiratory or circulatory problems.
,⩥ Necrosis. Answer: When a group of cells in the body dies.
⩥ Hypertrophy. Answer: Rigorous weightlifting/body building regimens
may result in the skeletal muscle cells undergoing.
⩥ Cancer. Answer: Malignant neoplasm.
⩥ Apoptosis. Answer: Preprogrammed cell self-destruction.
⩥ Cell repair. Answer: Damaged cells may be able to repair themselves.
⩥ Caseation necrosis. Answer: An area where dead cells form a thick
cheesy substance.
⩥ Preventive measure. Answer: Routine application of sun block to skin
would be an example of.
⩥ Precipitating factor. Answer: A circumstance that causes a sudden
acute episode of a chronic disease to occur.
⩥ Homeostasis. Answer: Maintenance of a stable internal environment.
,⩥ Complication. Answer: A new and secondary or additional problem
that arises after the original disease has been established.
⩥ Pathophysiology. Answer: Involves the study of functional or
structural changes resulting from disease processes.
⩥ Epidemiology. Answer: The science of tracking the occurrence and
distribution of diseases.
⩥ Cell Injury Causes. Answer: Hypoxia, exposure to excessive cold,
excessive pressure on a tissue, and chemical toxins.
⩥ Seven Steps to Health. Answer: Participate in strenuous exercise on a
regular daily basis.
⩥ Disease. Answer: A deviation from the normal state of health and
function.
⩥ Syndrome. Answer: A collection of signs and symptoms, often
affecting more than one organ or system, that usually occur together in
response to a certain condition.
⩥ Cell Damage. Answer: Initially, cell damage does not change cell
metabolism, structure, or function.
, ⩥ Double Blind Studies. Answer: Neither the members of the control
group or the experimental group nor the person administering the
treatment knows who is receiving the experimental therapy.
⩥ Evidence-Based Research. Answer: If the data collected from the
research process confirm that the new treatment has increased
effectiveness and is safe.
⩥ Acute Illness. Answer: A short-term illness that develops very quickly
with perhaps a high fever or severe pain.
⩥ Ischemia Damage. Answer: When prolonged ischemia occurs to an
area of the heart, the resulting damage is referred to as infarction.
⩥ Double Blind Study Stage. Answer: A double blind study may be
conducted during the third stage.
⩥ Predisposing Factors. Answer: Important to health professionals to
develop preventive measures.
⩥ Exogenous Cell Damage. Answer: Caused by certain food additives.
