Iatrogenic disease - Ans : An unwanted effect of a prescribed drug.
Manifestations of a disease - Ans : Signs and symptoms of a disease.
Prognosis - Ans : Predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from a specific disease.
Systemic sign of disease - Ans : Fever.
Etiology - Ans : The study of the causes of a disease.
Atrophy - Ans : A type of cellular adaptation in which there is a decrease in cell size.
Dysplasia - Ans : A change in a tissue marked by cells that vary in size and shape and
show increased mitotic figures.
Ischemia - Ans : A deficit of oxygen in the cells usually due to respiratory or circulatory
problems.
Necrosis - Ans : When a group of cells in the body dies.
Hypertrophy - Ans : Rigorous weightlifting/body building regimens may result in the
skeletal muscle cells undergoing.
Cancer - Ans : Malignant neoplasm.
Apoptosis - Ans : Preprogrammed cell self - destruction.
Cell repair - Ans : Damaged cells may be able to repair themselves.
Caseation necrosis - Ans : An area where dead cells form a thick cheesy substance.
Preventive measure - Ans : Routine application of sun block to skin would be an
example of.
Precipitating factor - Ans : A circumstance that causes a sudden acute episode of a
chronic disease to occur.

Pathophysiology, 7th
Edition
Homeostasis - Ans : Maintenance of a stable internal environment.
Complication - Ans : A new and secondary or additional problem that arises after the
original disease has been established.
Pathophysiology - Ans : Involves the study of functional or structural changes resulting
from disease processes.
Epidemiology - Ans : The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution of
diseases.
Cell Injury Causes - Ans : Hypoxia, exposure to excessive cold, excessive pressure on a
tissue, and chemical toxins.
Seven Steps to Health - Ans : Participate in strenuous exercise on a regular daily basis.
Disease - Ans : A deviation from the normal state of health and function.
Syndrome - Ans : A collection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more than one
organ or system, that usually occur together in response to a certain condition.
Cell Damage - Ans : Initially, cell damage does not change cell metabolism, structure,
or function.
Double Blind Studies - Ans : Neither the members of the control group or the
experimental group nor the person administering the treatment knows who is
receiving the experimental therapy.
Evidence - Based Research - Ans : If the data collected from the research process
confirm that the new treatment has increased effectiveness and is safe.
Acute Illness - Ans : A short - term illness that develops very quickly with perhaps a
high fever or severe pain.

Pathophysiology, 7th
Edition
Ischemia Damage - Ans : When prolonged ischemia occurs to an area of the heart, the
resulting damage is referred to as infarction.
Double Blind Study Stage - Ans : A double blind study may be conducted during the
third stage.
Predisposing Factors - Ans : Important to health professionals to develop preventive
measures.
Exogenous Cell Damage - Ans : Caused by certain food additives.
medical history - Ans : A record that usually includes past illnesses or surgeries,
current illnesses, prescribed medication, nonprescription drugs, herbal remedies, and
current allergies.
epidemic - Ans : A situation when there is a higher than expected number of cases of
an infectious disease within a given area.
pathogenesis - Ans : The development of a disease or sequence of events related to
tissue changes involved in the disease process.
off- label use - Ans : A therapy that has been approved for use and may show additional
potential to treat a different disease.
sequelae - Ans : A potential unwanted outcome of a primary condition, such as
paralysis following the recovery from a stroke.
pandemic - Ans : An infectious disease that spreads over wide regions of the globe.
coagulative necrosis - Ans : The type of necrosis that occurs when cell proteins are
altered or denatured.
proportion of water to body weight in healthy male adult - Ans : 60%.
proportion of blood to body weight in adult male - Ans : 4%.
