QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Homeostasis. ANSWER - Relatively stable internal conditions under fluctuating
environmental conditions. In homeostasis, the body's organ systems normally maintain
temperature, pH, blood composition, and fluid levels within a precise range and cor- rect
any fluc
disease. ANSWER - a deviation from normal structure or function in the body that
interrupts or modifies the performance of vital functions. For example, the amount of
glucose in the blood is tightly regulated to ensure that organs receive an adequate supply of
energy.
Pathology. ANSWER - Study of disease, epecially the structural and functional changes
assoicated with causes, mechaisms, signs, and symtpoms, treatments and prevention.
Health. ANSWER - is the condition in which the human body per- forms its vital functions
normally. In health the body's various organ systems function optimally and a person can
participate fully in his or her life.
Prognosis. ANSWER - a disease predicted course and outcome. The prognosis may state
the chances for complete recovery, predict the permanent loss of function, or give
probability of survival.
Diagnosis. ANSWER - the process of identifying a disease or disorder. Several types of
information are used for diagnosis, including signs and symptoms, which can be quite
specific and therefore helpful for diagnosing certain diseases.
Acute Disease. ANSWER - has a sudden onset and short duration. Influenza, measles, and
the common cold are examples of acute infections.
Terminal. ANSWER - Disease that will end in death.
Chronic Disease. ANSWER - has a slower, less severe onset and a long dura- tion of
months or years. Examples of chronic diseases include heart disease, cancer, stroke,
diabetes, and arthritis.
, Exacerbation. ANSWER - Signs and symptoms may grow more severe.
Relapse. ANSWER - The return of a disease weeks or months after its apparent cure.
Complication. ANSWER - interfers with recovery from the original disease.
Sequela. ANSWER - aftermath of a particular disease. Example sequel of polio is paralysis.
Remission. ANSWER - signs and symptoms subside or disappear
Mortality. ANSWER - Number of deaths that occur among people with a certain disease
Morbidity. ANSWER - is the number of cases of a disease in a population
Prevalence. ANSWER - is a percentage of a population that is affteced with a particular
disease at a given time
Incidence. ANSWER - The number or rate of new cases of a particular condition during a
specific time.
Idiopathic. ANSWER - a diseas that is not known is said to be.
Pathogenesis. ANSWER - Cause of a disease leads to the anatommical and physiological
changes in the body that ulimately result in disease
Etiology. ANSWER - important aspect of any disease
Palliative. ANSWER - Provide comfort and relieve pain.
Phagocyte. ANSWER - ingest and engulf foreign antigens and the
leukocytes that belong to this category
Interferons. ANSWER - Antiviral proteins produced by some animal cells after viral
infection. Stimualte nearby cells to fight infection. Increase activity of natural killer cells
and macrophages.
Phagocytes. ANSWER - Leukocytes (WBC)
Pathocytosis. ANSWER - Leukocytes (white blood cells) such as macrophages and
neutrophils can engulf and destroy pathogens
Plasma. ANSWER - contains the protein albumin, which promotes the blood's ability to
hold water and maintain pressure inside the blood vessels.
