• Produces energy for cells to use by breaking down substances during
oxidative metabolism.. CORRECT ANSWER: Mitochodrion
• Collects packages, and distributes molecules made in the cell..
CORRECT ANSWER: Golgi complex
• Tiny protein producing factories. Proteins produce chemical messages
that run a cell.. CORRECT ANSWER: Ribosome
• Storage area from fast a and other substances. CORRECT ANSWER:
Vacuole
• Vesicle that contains enzymes that carry out particular reactions such as
detoxifying potentially harmful molecules.. CORRECT ANSWER:
Peroxisome
• Tiny organs that help the cell divide.. CORRECT ANSWER: Centriole
• Made up of a double layer of fatty material. It allows some materials to
pass into and out the cell at thousands of places across the surface. It
allows foods to pass into and into the cell and waste to pass out of the cell..
CORRECT ANSWER: Cell membrane
• Jelly-like fluid between cell membrane and the nucleus. Where all the
organelles are found.. CORRECT ANSWER: Cytoplasm
• Where digestion of cell nutrients takes place.. CORRECT ANSWER:
Lysosome
• Smooth and rough tubes that move and store materials made by the cell..
CORRECT ANSWER: Endoplasmic reticulum
• Contains coded information that passes on every single inherited
characteristic.. CORRECT ANSWER: DNA
,• Framework is based on the "classic" or common presentation of disease
in the physiologic functioning of human beings.. CORRECT ANSWER:
Pathophysiology
• The cause or reason (risk factor) for a particular issue.. CORRECT
ANSWER: Etiology
• A factor that will increase the chance of disease (e.g., obesity).
CORRECT ANSWER: Risk factors
• How a disease develops is called. CORRECT ANSWER: pathogenesis
• _______ are what you see (objective - such as BP, HR, RR).. CORRECT
ANSWER: Signs
• ___________ are what the patient says they are feeling and is not normal
for them (i.e., patient c/o pain or increased coughing spells).. CORRECT
ANSWER: Symptoms
• The cause of the signs and symptoms is known as _________..
CORRECT ANSWER: Syndrome
• The time from exposure to first signs and symptoms (A.K.A. the
incubation period).. CORRECT ANSWER: Latent period
• The time when signs/symptoms first appear indicating the onset of the
disease process.. CORRECT ANSWER: Prodromal period
• The disease reaches the peak/full intensity - you are feeling really sick..
CORRECT ANSWER: Acute phase
• The disease process is well established, and you are living with it/able to
function.. CORRECT ANSWER: Subclinical stage
• Short-lived; can have severe S/S; example: having a cold/flu. CORRECT
ANSWER: Acute clinical course
, • Anything greater than 6 months that continues to persist; can follow an
acute issue; example: having COPD.. CORRECT ANSWER: Chronic
clinical course
• Sudden increase in severity of S/S. CORRECT ANSWER: Exacerbation
• Decreased S/S, may indicate the disease as been cured. CORRECT
ANSWER: Remission
• Recovery stage after disease process, injury, or surgery. CORRECT
ANSWER: Convalescence
• Subsequent pathological condition that resulted from an illness (i.e., a
person who has a stroke and does not fully recover).. CORRECT
ANSWER: Sequela
• The study of patterns of disease within a population.. CORRECT
ANSWER: Epidemiology
• Local or native to a specific region. CORRECT ANSWER: Endemic
• Spread to many people at the same time. CORRECT ANSWER:
Epidemic
• Spread across a large geographical area (country/world/global).
CORRECT ANSWER: Pandemic
• Factors that affect patterns of disease include:. CORRECT ANSWER:
Ethnicity, age, gender, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and geographic
location
• This level of prevention consists of altering susceptibility or reducing
exposure.. CORRECT ANSWER: Primary
• This level of prevention consists of early detection, screening, and
management of disease.. CORRECT ANSWER: Secondary
• This level of prevention consists of rehabilitation, supportive care,
reducing disability, and restoring effective functioning.. CORRECT
ANSWER: Tertiary
