Autoimmune Disorders - ANS-Disease in which antibodies form against and injure the patient's own tissues, in contrast to the normal process in which antibodies form in response to foreign antigens. Benign Neoplasm - ANS-A localized tumor of well-differentiated cells that does not invade surrounding tissue or metastasize to distant areas within the body.

Diagnosis - ANS-The name of a disease an individual is believed to have. Disease - ANS-Any abnormal disturbance of the normal function or structure of a body part, organ, or system; may display a variety of manifestations. Sickness sufficient to interfere with normal daily routines is termed: - ANS-Morbidity Invasion - ANS-The prolapse of a segment of bowel into a distal segment Lesion - ANS-General term used to describe the various types of cellular changes that can occur in response to a disease Leukemia - ANS-A malignant disease of the leukocytes and their precursor cells in blood and bone marrow A neoplasticism growth is evaluated to determine its degree of histologic differentiation. This is termed: - ANS-Grading A DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide in the genome differs between members of a biological species or paired chromosomes in an individual - ANS-SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS (SNPs) Sarcoma - ANS-A type of tumor, often highly malignant, composed of a substance similar to embryonic connective tissue SEEDING - ANS-Traveling of cancerous cells to a distant site or distant organ An objective manifestation of disease that is detected by the physician during examination - ANS-SIGN SYMPTOM - ANS-Any subjective evidence of a disease as perceived by the patient A compression fracture of the lumbar spine that results from steroid treatments for pain reduction of arthritis would be an example of ____________ disease. - ANS-Iatrogenic Carcinoma - ANS-A malignant growth composed of epithelial cells that tends to invade surrounding tissues and give rise to metastasis Chronic - ANS-Presenting slowly and persisting over a long period of time Congenital - ANS-Existing at, and usually before, birth and resulting from genetic or environmental factors A disease such as Tay-Sachs syndrome that is transmitted genetically is termed: - ANSHereditary Neoplastic - ANS-Pertaining to new, abnormal tissue growth Acute - ANS-Having a quick onset and lasting a short period of time with a relatively severe course Morbidity Rate - ANS-The incidence of sickness sufficient to interfere with an individual's normal daily routine Pathogenesis - ANS-Refers to the sequence of events producing cellular changes that ultimately leading to observable changes. Asymptomatic - ANS-Showing or causing no identifiable symptoms Atrophy - ANS-A reduction in size or a wasting of cells, tissues, or organs as a result of poor nutrition or nonuse Hematogenous Spread - ANS-Spread through the blood Physical mapping - ANS-A form of genetic mapping based on direct analysis of DNA , in which the physical distance between DNA, fragments are measured. This is used to assign DNA fragments to specific chromosomes. Hereditary - ANS-Genetically transferred from ethier parent to child & derived from ancestors Prognosis - ANS-The prediction of course and outcome for a given disease. Hyperplasia - ANS-Overdevelopment The prediction of the course and end of a disease and an outlook based on that prediction best define its: - ANS-Prognosis Genome - ANS-The entirety of an organism's hereditary information, including both the genes and the non-coding sequences of DNA and ribonucleic acid Haplotype - ANS-A combination of DNA sequences at adjacent locations on the chromosome that are transmitted together A disease that manifests slowly and is present for a long period is said to be? - ANSChronic Which of the following disease classifications is usually associated with the normal aging process? - ANS-Degenerative Nosocomial - ANS-Originating or taking place in a hospital, acquired in a hospital, especially in reference to an infection. Incidence - ANS-A statistical measure that refers to the number of new cases of a disease found in a given period of time. Infection - ANS-An inflammatory process caused by exposure to some disease-causing organism. Inflammatory - ANS-Refers to the body process of destroying, diluting, or walling off a localized injurious agent. Lymphatic spread - ANS-Spread through the lymphatic system. Lymphoma - ANS-Neoplasticism growth in the lymphatic system. Malignant neoplasm - ANS-A lesion that grows, spreads, and invades other tissues. Generalized increase in cell size refers to? - ANS-Hyperplasia Which of the following would be considered a symptom of a disease process? - ANSNausea Dysplasia - ANS-the abnormal growth or development of a tissue or organ.
