CLINICAL MEDICINE I: QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS.
PATHOLOGY - ANS -what happens to tissues/organs of the body in the presence of disease
DISEASE - ANS -pathological process of the body organ(s) with its' own signs and symptoms
DISORDER - ANS -organ is normal but malfunction of the organ exists
SICKNESS - ANS -the physical and/or mental state of being "unwell"
HEALTH - ANS -well being state indicating normality of body, mind and spirit
SIGN - ANS -observable "objective" or measurable physical manifestations of disease(s) or
disorder(s)
SYMPTOM - ANS -"subjective" evidence of a disease or disorder
DIAGNOSIS - ANS -attachment of a specific name to a specific disease or disorder
PROGNOSIS - ANS -making a prediction of the outcome of a disease or disorder
THERAPY - ANS -treatment of a disease or disorder
, ETIOLOGY - ANS -the "cause of" a disease or disorder
PATHOGENESIS - ANS -underlying mechanisms resulting in the signs and symptoms of the
patient
MORPHOLOGY - ANS -gross or microscopic appearance of cells and tissues
HOMEOSTASIS - ANS -equilibrium of the microenvironment of the cell
ADAPTATION - ANS -adjusting to a new situation to preserve viability and function
STRESS - ANS -any demand on the cell requiring it to adapt
HYPERTROPHY - ANS -increase in the size of cells resulting in increase in the size of the organ
HYPERPLASIA - ANS -increase in cell number in cells capable of replication
ATROPHY - ANS -shrinkage in the size of the cell by loss of cell substance
METAPLASIA - ANS -reversible change in which one adult cell type is replaced by another adult
cell type (switch in genetic programming --> increased chance of genetic malformation)
NECROSIS - ANS -enzymes leak out of lysosomes and cell is digested--elicits inflmmation
COAGULATIVE NECROSIS - ANS -tissue necrosis in which component cells are dead but basic
architecture is preserved for a short while
