, PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Pathophysiology is the precise study of abnormal biological
processes and functional changes within the body caused
by diseases or disorders.
Key Points:
Abnormal Processes: Disease Mechanisms: Functional Changes:
Focuses on Studies specific Investigates

normal physiological underlying diseases body's normal
functions. and disorders. functions.

, ARTERIAL BLOOD GAS
ABG analysis assesses blood's
oxygen, carbon dioxide levels,
pH, and more, providing insights
into respiratory and metabolic
status.
Key Points:
Sample Source:
Artery, typically radial artery.
Parameters:
pH, PaO2,PaCO2,HCO3-,SaO2.
Clinical Significance:
Respiratory function, acid-base
balance assessment.
, CANCER
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled
division and growth of abnormal cells, invading surrounding tissues
and potentially spreading to other parts of the body, leading to severe
health complications.
How Cancer Produces in Body
Cancer develops in the body when normal cells
undergo genetic mutations that cause them to grow and
divide uncontrollably. These mutations can be caused
by various factors, including:
1. Genetic Predisposition
2. Environmental Factors
3. Viral Infections
4. Chronic Inflammation
5. Hormonal Imbalances
6. Random DNA Changes
