Disease: & from homeostasis or the abnormal
functioning of the
body - can be an unhealthy state

Anatomic Pathology: Structure of disease


Clinical Pathology: Function of disease

Idiopathic: unknown of disease

Iatrogenic: Disease due to treatment -




physician caused



Prevalence:

Incidence:

Differentiate between signs, symptoms, and syndromes
Sign-snown symptom-told syndrome -

combo + evidence




Explain the relationship that exists between healthy, sick, normal, and abnormal
sick are individual based (presence/absence of disease

Observations)
Normal+ Abnormal-comparing

True positive:

False positive:

True negative:

False negative: ·




What is the meaning of normal range as it relates to medical tests?
Data-pop" wout disease
lower limit is mean 12 S D.

What is the relationship between test specificity and sensitivity?
Test for test to be
Specificity ability for (-ve 99/100) 99 %Specific
:

Test
sensitivity ability
: test to be positive In the presence of disease (tre in 99/100) 99% sensitive
Have aninverse relationship -


we start w/sensitive test then move to specific test

What is usually the goal of treatment?
To mimic state of homeostasis back to homeostasis
or
get


What is healthy?
When someone is in a state of homeostasis

-

does not mean absence of disease ,
but
disease is maintained way that
being in a

allows the body to mimic homeostatic levels

, Do structural and functional disorders have the same treatment? Explain
Structural disorder : anatomic pathology they require different treatments

these relate in a that may

ailments may need physical
Functional disorder : clinical pathology cause one another to occur BUT as

What is the best practice for testing in terms of specificity and sensitivity? Explain by giving an

Explain how the following maintain homeostasis:
Diffusion:

-



Allows reg substances are used up

> Allows waste out
-




Osmosis:

-
maintains optimal 120 levels from cellular processes

-
helps balance out solute []




Active Transport:

Does each cell need to maintain homeostasis for an organism to survive?
Yes ,
otherwise this cell is no
longer healthy and can be detrimental to cells around it

Cellular homeostasis: A state of balance-cells

Are cells adaptive? Yes-cells are able to adapt to X env .

Explain the following adaptations of cells to changing conditions and give an example:
Atrophy: cells Shrink Organ Shrinks response +:

less use , less bloodflow , less Neuronal or hormonal Stim eg .




Hypertrophy: Size of cells increase but not

Hyperplasia: # of cells

causing
increase in Tissue or

eg prostate

Metaplasia: * from one
type of cell to another better suited for environment
