1. Physiology The normal functions of the human body and the relationships of its parts
2. Pathology The laboratory study of cell and tissue changes associated with disease
3. Disease Develops when changes that occur in the body lead to a state where homeostasis
can no longer be maintained without intervention
4. Homeostasis the maintenance of a stable internal environment regardless of external changes
that occur
5. Basic science Indentify technology to limit or prevent disease process; occurs in labs with animals
or cell cultures

8. Idopathic cause of disease is unknown
9. Iatrogenic a treatment, a procedure, or an error may cause a disease
10. Predisposing fac- Tendencies that promote development of a disease in an individual
tors
11. Prophylaxis A measure designed to preserve health and precent the spread of diease
