Answers
pathophysiology - ANSWERSthe study of the functional changes that occur in the body
as a result of an injury, disorder or disease
pathology - ANSWERSstudy of changes in cells and tissues as a result of injury or
disease
pathogenesis - ANSWERSthe disease beginning
disease - ANSWERSthe functional impairment of cells, tissues, organs
etiology - ANSWERScause of disease
primary prevention - ANSWERSprohibits a disease condition from occurring
secondary prevention - ANSWERSit's the early detection of disease through screening
and early treatment
tertiary prevention - ANSWERSit's rehabilitation of a patient after detection of disease
mechanism of cell death - ANSWERSthe changes in cell and organelle structure and
function prevent the cell from returning to normal condition. ex: apoptosis, necrosis
hypertrophy - ANSWERSan increase in cell size. ex: breast size in pregnancy
hyperplasia - ANSWERSincrease on number of cells
metaplasia - ANSWERSrefers to the changing of one cell type to another. ex: GERD
dysplasia - ANSWERSrefers to the actual change in cell size, shape, uniformity,
arrangement, and structure. these cells can progress to cancer
acromegaly - ANSWERSa condition of hyperplasia characterized by excessive growth
cardiac hypertrophy - ANSWERSdisease of cardiac muscle that result from excessive
work load and functional demand
, primary goal of inflammation - ANSWERSto increase blood flow to the cite of an injury
and close up all open areas
first line of defense - ANSWERSrelies on the protection of the skin and mucous
membranes
second line of defense - ANSWERSwaged through an effective inflammatory response
factors that promote wound healing - ANSWERSadequate dietary intake of water,
protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals
third line of defense - ANSWERSactivated through immune response
phases of tissue repair - ANSWERSinflammatory phase:
- acute inflammatory response
- cover the wound
- proliferating phase
- clean the debris
- restore structural integrity
- remodeling phase
- restore functional integrity
- remodeling
complication of wound healing - ANSWERSinfection, perfusion, dehiscence, keloids,
adhesions
rheumatoid arthritis - ANSWERSdegeneration or inflammation of the joints, synovial
joints, autoimmune
burns - ANSWERS- superficial partial thickness burns: first degree burns damage
epidermis. ex: sunburn
- deep partial thickness burns second degree burn epidermis and dermis. ex: scalding
hot liquid
- full thickness burns: third degree burn epidermis, dermis, subcute penetrates. ex:
electrical exposure
acute gastritis - ANSWERSinflammation on the gastric mucosa most often caused by
the ingestion of irritants such as aspirin, alcohol, or certain microorganisms
chronic gastritis - ANSWERSunrelating injury such as with chronic infection or
autoimmunity, helicobacter pylori
inflammation bowel disease (IBD) - ANSWERSinflammatory process most commonly in
the small and large intestine.
Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis
Crohn both large and small intestine
