The study of human physiologic dysfunction in disease - ANS Pathophysiology
What are the five components of disease? - ANS etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis,
clinical manifestations, and outcomes
risk factors and distribution in populations - ANS epidemiology
causative mechanisms - ANS etiology
disease mechanisms - ANS pathogenesis
signs, symptoms and diagnostic criteria - ANS clinical manifestations
2026/2027 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED 1
, cure, remission, chronicity, or death - ANS outcomes
The "why" of the disease, what is the reason for it. May be complex or straight forward -
ANS etiology
also called cryptogenic, known in cause or origin - ANS idiopathic
occurs as a results of a medical or surgical intervention (e.g. yeast infection after getting
antibiotics) - ANS iatrogenic
this looks at the patterns of disease among groups or populations. this complement represents
the relationship between numerous population characteristics and looks at the incidence or
prevalence of diease - ANS epidemiology
the number of new cases occurring in a given population with a given time period - usually a
year. can be expressed as a percentage - ANS incidence
involves the number of cases existing (both old and new) at a given time period. Can be
expressed as a percentage - ANS prevalence
involves the sequence of events that occurs between the stimulus events and the
manifestations of the disease. - ANS pathogenesis
it is what tells an individual and their HCP that something is wrong. Also called "signs and
symptoms' - ANS clinical manifestations
directed towards preventing the initial occurrence of a disorder - ANS primary prevention
