Oral path final exam ch:1-17
a listing of the probable causes of a particular disease manifestation or group of manifestations.
Think "possibilities" differential diagnosis
what is a definitive diagnosis determined when all suspected causes on the list except one has
been eliminated (actual diagnosis)
What is pathogenesis? the sequence of events in which cells/tissues respond to a specific
etiologic agent
sign objective- noted by clinician
symptom subjective - noticed by patient
What are the first line of defense systems? integumentary system, exocrine system
___________ in first line of defense systems secretions help to destroy invading organisms
before they cause damage antibodies
what is the fight or flight response? response due to stress that can be physical, or
psychological and initiates stress response
what is hypertrophy? enlargement of individual cells leading to the increase in size of a tissue or
organ (ONE BIG CELL)
what is hypertrophy casued by? increased functional demand or hormone stimulation
, increase in number of cells in a tissue or organ resulting in enlargement. MANY CELLS
Hyperplasia
what is dysplasia creation of abnormal cells from normal cells
what are the cardinal signs of inflammation? (5) redness, heat, pain, swelling, loss of function
what are white blood cells called leukocytes
what are immunoglobulins? antibodies
5 major immunoglobulins? igG = crosses placenta
IgM = largest
IgE = secreted by plasma cells in skin and mucous membranes (emergency)
IgA - found in saliva secretions
IgD - need for differentiation
organs associated with the immune system? bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymphatic, mucosa
what produces cells of the immune system? bone marrow
what makes T cells and has the ability to recognize host as self thymus
what is the funciton of the spleen? filter out old blood cells
what is the function of the immune system? initiates an immune response
