, 1. Idiopathic: •Cause unknown
2. Iatrogenic •Cause results from medical treatment
3. Intrinsic •coming from within
4. Extrinsic coming from an outside force
5. •Pathogenesis: •Development or evolution of disease, from initial
stimulus to ultimate expression of manifestations of the
disease
•Description of how etiologic factors are thought to
alter physiologic function and lead to the development
of clinical manifestations that are observed in a
particular disorder or disease.
6. Homeostasis •The body does not need to maintain an exact value,
rather, a range.
•Think blood pressure, temperature, oxygen levels
•Homeostasis allows for us to maintain internal (cellular)
stable environment while adjusting to changing external
(extracellular) conditions. If it is not maintained, disease
occurs
7. Compensation
•the body adapting in effort to go back to homeostasis
•When compensation is prolonged, pathology occurs
8. How do cells adapt to •Cells change the quantity, size, shape or age of cells adverse
conditions? •An effort to achieve homeostasis
•Can be physiologic (normal response) or pathologic
(abnormal response, disease causing).
9. Atrophy •Decrease in cell size
•Physiologic
•Occurs with early development under normal
conditions.
•Pathologic
