Grade 2026\2027
Cellular Adaptation
- correct answer cell ability to change in response to internal and external environmental threats
Atropy
- correct answer refers to the DECREASE in the SIZES of the cells, resulting in REDUCE tissue mass
Hypertrophy
- correct answer INCREASE in cell size of INDIVIDUAL cell, resulting in an ENLARGED tissue mass.
Hyperplasia
- correct answer increased NUMBER of cells, resulting in an ENLARGED tissue mass
Metaplasia
- correct answer Mature cell type is replaced by a different mature cell type
Dysplasia
- correct answer abnormal development or growth of cells, tissues, or organs
Anaplasia
- correct answer the loss of the mature or specialized features of a cell or tissue, as in malignant tumors.
neoplasia
- correct answer "new growth" a mass that has developed due to abnormal cell or tissue growth. -tumor
Biopsy
- correct answer the removal of living tissue from the body for diagnostic examination
,autopsy
- correct answer the examination of a corpse to determine the cause of death
diagnosis
- correct answer identification of a disease through evaluation of signs and symptoms and laboratory
testing
etiology
- correct answer concerns the causitive factors in a particular disease
idiopathic
- correct answer the cause of a disease is unknown
iatrogenic
- correct answer treatment, procedure, or error that may cause a disease
predisposing factors
- correct answer Tendencies that promote development of a disease in an individual
Prevention of disease
- correct answer closely linked to etiology and predisposing factors for a specific disease
pathogenesis
- correct answer development of disease ; sequence of events involved in the tissue change related to
the specific process
acute disease
- correct answer Indicates a short-term illness that develops very quickly with marked signs such as high
fever or severe pain
chronic diease
- correct answer an ongoing condition or illness that develops gradually and persists for a long time;
intermittent acute episodes
, subclinical state
- correct answer Exists in some conditions in which pathologic changes occur, but no obvious
manifestations are exhibited by the patient, perhaps because of the great reserve capacity of some
organs
Latent or "silent" stage
- correct answer no clinical signs are evident, characterizes some diseases
prodromal period
- correct answer comprises the time in the early development of a disease when one is aware of a
change in the body, bit the signs are non specific
manifestation
- correct answer clinical evidence or effects; the signs and symptoms of disease
signs
- correct answer objective indicators that are observable
symptoms
- correct answer Subjective characteristics of disease felt only by the patient
lesion
- correct answer a pathologic change of the tissues due to disease or injury
syndrome
- correct answer collection of signs and symptoms occurring together and characterizing a medical
condition
diagnostic
- correct answer testing in a laboratory that assist in the diagnosis of a specific disease
remission
- correct answer manifestations of the disease subside
