*Chapter 1: Introduction to Pathophysiology* - (answer)
Risk - (answer)Factor that when present increases the chance of disease
Not stressors, but conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of encountering a stressor
Prevalence - (answer)A measure of disease that allows us to determine a person's likelihood of
having a disease. Therefore, the number of prevalent cases is the total number of cases of disease
existing in a population. A prevalence rate is the total number of cases of a disease existing in a
population divided by the total population
Indicates how widespread the disease is
Incidence - (answer)A measure of disease that allows us to determine a person's probability of
being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time. Therefore, incidence is the number
of newly diagnosed cases of a disease. An incidence rate is the number of new cases of a disease
divided by the number of persons at risk for the disease.
Conveys information about the risk of contracting the disease.
,Ratio - (answer)The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one
value contains or is contained within the other.
Primary Prevention - (answer)Altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible
persons
*Both illness and disease are absent
example: vaccinations, healthy lifestyles
Secondary Prevention - (answer)Early detection, screening, and management of disease
*Illness absent, disease present
example: screenings and testings
Tertiary Prevention - (answer)Rehabilitation, supportive care, reducing disability, and restoring
effective functioning
*Both illness and disease present
,example: education
Epidemiology - (answer)study of the patterns of disease involving populations; examining the
occurrence, incidence, prevalence, transmission, and distribution of diseases in large groups of
populations/people
Endemic - (answer)A disease theat is native to a local region
Epidemic - (answer)When a disease is disseninated to many individals at the same time
(spread to many people at the same time)
Pandemic - (answer)Epidemics that affect large geographic regions, perhaps spreading
worldwide.
(spread to large geographic areas)
*Chapter 2: Homeostasis and Adaptive Responses to Stressors* - (answer)
Homeostasis - (answer)A state of being in which all systems are in balance around a articular
ideal "set-point"
, Exhausation - (answer)Point where body can no longer return to homeostasis following a
prolonged exposure to noxious agents
Allostatic Overload - (answer)"Cost" of body's organs and tissues for an excessive or
ineffectively regulated allostatic response; effect of "wear and tear" on the body
Adaptation - (answer)Adaptation: biopsychosocial process of change in response to new or
altered circumstances, internal or external in origin
Coping: behavioral adaptive response to a stressor using culturally based coping mechanisms
Adaptation and coping: terms used interchangeably
Arousal - (answer)Includes alterations in responsiveness to homeostatic pressures, sensory
stimuli and emotional reactivity, and to changes in motor activity
Function of Cortisol - (answer)Primary glucocorticoid
Affects protein metabolism
Promotes appetite and food-seeking behaviors
Has anti-inflammatory effects
