◉ Manifestations of 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: The change that occurs when a group of cells in
the body dies.

function.

occur together in response to a certain condition.
◉ Cell damage. Answer: The initial stage often causes an alteration in
metabolic reactions.
◉ Double blind studies. Answer: Studies where neither the members of
the control group nor the experimental group nor the person
administering the treatment knows who is receiving the experimental
therapy.
◉ evidence-based research. Answer: Research that confirms a new
treatment has increased effectiveness and is safe.
