Exposure of tissue to injurious agent and first appearance of signs and symptoms (is also the time where it may disappear) exposure period. the signs and symptoms may become mild or even disappear for a time. Prodromal period - Answers Signs and symptoms of a disease first occur during the Acute phase - Answers the disease reaches its full intensity, and signs and symptoms attain their greatest severity. Subclinical stage - Answers patient able to function normally although disease processes are well established. Endemic definition - Answers native to a local region Epidemiology - Answers Study of the patterns of disease involving populations Pandemic disease - Answers spread to large geographic areas Chronic clinical course - Answers may last months to years, sometimes following an acute course Clinical Manifestations - Answers signs and symptoms 3 types of clinical manifestation - Answers 1. symptoms 2. signs 3. syndrome symptoms - Answers feeling abnormality in the body such as nausea signs - Answers objective or observed manifestation of disease such as vomiting, or bruising Syndromes - Answers Set of signs and symptoms not yet determined to delineate a disease such as heart attack: chest pain or radiating pain to left arm primary prevention - Answers example like vaccinations. Altering susceptibility; reducing exposure fro susceptible persons; education, training Actions that change overall background conditions to prevent some unwanted event or circumstance, such as injury, disease, or abuse. Secondary - Answers early detection, screening, and management of disease have it then treat it risk factors - Answers Possibly of a disease cause 6 risk factors - Answers 1. Genetic 2. Age 3. Lifestyle 4. Stress 5. Environmental 6. Pre-existing conditions Pathogenesis - Answers development of disease Homeostasis - Answers Remaining stable while staying the same; state in which all systems are in balance; a state of equilibrium; an ideal set point Allostasis definition - Answers Body's ability to maintain stable internal environment by adjusting and chasing to meet internal and external demands. AKA Homeostasis through change Hormones secreted during the stress response - Answers physical, chemical, or emotional factor resulting in tension of body or mind Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis; General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) - Answers Selye) where body can no longer return to homeostasis Selye's three phases of stress Selye's concept of the body's adaptive response to stress in three phases—alarm, resistance, exhaustion. Alarm - Answers What stage is defined by "fight or flight"? Resistance - Answers (also called adaptation) supportive of the allostatic return to a state of homeostasis exhaustion - Answers occurs when the body is no longer able to bring about a return to homeostasis following prolonged exposure to noxious agents. resistance (also called adaptation) - Answers To survive, the body must move beyond the alarm stage to a stage of ______________________ supportive of the allostatic return to a state of homeostasis. Reversible cell injury - Answers Hydropic swelling; Cellular swelling becuase of accumuliation of water first manifestation of most forms of a reversible cell injury results from malfunction of sodium- postassium pump with accumulation of sodium ions within the cell Any injury that results in loss of energy (ATP) will also result on swelling Characteristics large pale cytoplasm Know types of intracellular accumulations - Answers Characterized by: accumulation of excessive amounts of normal intracellular substance; accumulation of abnormal substances from faulty metabolism or synthesis; accumulation of pigments of particles that cell is unable to degrade Types of intracellular accumulations - Answers 1. Abnormal metabolism, 2. Defect in protein folding transport, 3. Lack of enzyme, 4 indigestible materials Abnormal metabolism - Answers Nutritional deficiency Enzyme deficiency Abnormal secretion of hormones Actions of drugs and toxins Defect in protein - Answers folding transport lack of enzymes - Answers indigestible materials - Answers Cellular Adaptation - Answers atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, dysplasia atrophy - Answers when cells shrink and reduce their differentiated functions in response to a variety of normal and injurious factors, such as nutrient starvation. hypertrophy - Answers increase in cell size example (A heart that has to pump harder in order to effectively circulate blood is likely to undergo which type of cellular adaptation?)
