Verified Graded A+
Tertiary Prevention Examples - Counseling on medication; rehabilitation; supportive care;
reducing disability
Latent Period - time between exposure of tissue to injurious agent and first appearance of
signs and/or symptoms
Endemic - Native to local region
Subclinical Disease - no noticeable signs or symptoms (inapparent infection)
Etiology - cause of disease
Idiopathic - unknown cause
latrogenic - Cause results from unintended or unwanted medical treatment
Primary prevention - altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible persons
ex: vaccinations
Allostasis - process by which the body achieves stability through homeostatis
,Selye's 3 Phases of Stress - Alarm reaction; resistance; exhaustian
sympathetic nervous system: Norepinephrine - causes vasoconstriction & increases BP;
Reduces gastric secretions; increases night and far vision
sympathetic nervous system: epinephrine - enhances myocardial contractility; increases
HR & CO; causes bronchiodilation; increases glucose release from liver
Hormones released during the stress response - Cortisol
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Norepinephrine
Epinephrine
Endorphines
Oxytocin
RAA pathway (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone)
Types of intracellular accumulation - -Excessive amounts of normal intracellular
substance
-Abnormal substances from faulty matabolism synthesis
-particles that the cell is unable to degrade
Cellular adaptation types - -Atrophy: Decrease cell size
-Hypertrophy: increase cell size
, -Hyperplasia: increase cell number
-Metaplasia: conversion of one cell type to another
-Dysplasia: disorderly growth
Coagulative necrosis - this process begins with ischemia, ends with degradation of plasma
membrane (heart)
Liquefactive necrosis - liquification of lysosomal enzymes, formation of abscess or cyst
from dissolved dead tissue (brain)
Fat necrosis - death of adipose tissue, appears as chalk white area ,usually due to trauma
or pancreatitis (pancreas)
Caseous Necrosis - characteristic of lung damage secondary to tuberculosis (bacterial
infection; resembles clumpy cheese (lung)
Apoptosis - programmed cell death
Side effects of chemotherapy - anemia
nausea
