1. Pathogenesis
Answer explains how the disease process evolves. Sequence of cellular and tissue events that
take place from the time of initial contact with an etiologic agent until the ultimate expression of a
disease.
2. morphology
Answer Refers to the fundamental structure or form of cells or tissues. Changes are concerned with
both the gross anatomic and microscopic changes that are characteristic of a disease.
3. Histology
Answer Deals with the study of the cells and extracellular matrix of body tissues. Sections play an
important role in the diagnosis of many types of cancers.
4. Clinical Manifestation
Answer make it evident that the person is sick (fever)
5. Diagnosis
Answer Designation as to the nature or cause of a health problem. Requires a careful history,
physical
examination, and diagnostic tests.

,6. Clinical Course
Answer Describes the evolution of a disease. A disease can have an acute, subacute, or

7. Primary Prevention
Answer directed at keeping disease from occurring by removing risk factors
8. Secondary Prevention
Answer detects disease early when it is still asymptomatic and treatment measures can

9. Reliability
Answer •the extent to which an observation, when repeated, gives the same result
10. Validity
Answer the extent to which a measurement tool measures what it is intended to measure
11. Sensitivity

disease
12. Specificity

13. Predictive value
Answer •the extent to which an observation or test result is able to predict the presence of a
given disease or condition
14. Incidence
Answer the number of new cases arising in a population at risk during a specified time
15. Prevalence
Answer a measure of existing disease in a population at a given point in time
16. Morbidity
Answer describes the effects an illness has on a person's life
17. Mortality
Answer pertains to the causes of death in a given population
18. Tertiary Prevention
Answer directed at clinical interventions that prevent further deterioration or reduce the
complications of a disease that is already present
19. Hyperplasia
