QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Iatrogenic disease - Correct Answer: An unwanted effect of a prescribed drug.
Manifestations of disease - Correct Answer: Signs and symptoms of a disease.
Prognosis - Correct Answer: Predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from a specific disease.
Systemic sign of disease - Correct Answer: Fever.
Etiology - Correct Answer: The study of the causes of a disease.
Atrophy - Correct Answer: A type of cellular adaptation in which there is a decrease in cell size.
Dysplasia - Correct Answer: A change in a tissue marked by cells that vary in size and shape and show
increased mitotic figures.
Ischemia - Correct Answer: A deficit of oxygen in the cells usually due to respiratory or circulatory
problems.
Necrosis - Correct Answer: The change that occurs when a group of cells in the body dies.
Hypertrophy - Correct Answer: Rigorous weightlifting/body building regimens may result in skeletal
muscle cells undergoing this.
Cancer - Correct Answer: Malignant neoplasm.
,Apoptosis - Correct Answer: Preprogrammed cell self-destruction.
Cell repair - Correct Answer: Damaged cells may be able to repair themselves.
Caseation necrosis - Correct Answer: An area where dead cells form a thick cheesy substance.
Iatrogenic cause of cancer - Correct Answer: An example of routine application of sunblock to skin.
Iatrogenic cause of cancer - Correct Answer: An example of a cause of cancer that results from medical
treatment or intervention.
Preventive measure - Correct Answer: A strategy or action taken to prevent disease or health issues.
Precipitating factor - Correct Answer: A circumstance that causes a sudden acute episode of a chronic
disease to occur.
Predisposing condition - Correct Answer: A condition that makes an individual more susceptible to
developing a disease.
Homeostasis - Correct Answer: Maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.
Complication - Correct Answer: A new and secondary or additional problem that arises after the original
disease has been established.
Pathophysiology - Correct Answer: The study of functional or structural changes resulting from disease
processes.
Epidemiology - Correct Answer: The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution of diseases.
Cell injury or death causes - Correct Answer: Factors such as hypoxia, exposure to excessive cold,
excessive pressure on tissue, and chemical toxins.
, Seven Steps to Health - Correct Answer: A set of guidelines for maintaining health, excluding
participation in strenuous exercise on a regular daily basis.
Disease - Correct Answer: A deviation from the normal state of health and function.
Syndrome - Correct Answer: A collection of signs and symptoms that usually occur together in response
to a certain condition.
Cell damage - Correct Answer: The initial stage often causes an alteration in metabolic reactions.
Double blind studies - Correct 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 - Correct Answer: Research that confirms a new treatment has increased
effectiveness and is safe.
acute - Correct Answer: A short-term illness that develops very quickly with perhaps a high fever or
severe pain.
prognosis - Correct Answer: The expected outcome of the disease.
infarction - Correct Answer: Damage resulting from prolonged ischemia to an area of the heart.
double blind study - Correct Answer: A study conducted to evaluate a new therapy's effectiveness and
safety.
predisposing factors - Correct Answer: Important to health professionals to develop preventive
measures.
cell damage - Correct Answer: May be caused by exogenous sources such as certain food additives.
