What is it termed when the cause of disease is unknown? - correct precise cause of disease; idiopathic What is the difference between risk factors and precipitating factors? - correct answers.Risk factors: vulnerabilities (elevated BP increasing risk for heart attack) Precipitating factors: triggers that promote the onset of clinical manifestations (dust triggering asthma) What is the difference between objective and subjective clinical manifestations? - correct tive: seen and measured by practitioner (signs) subjective: not directly observable by practitioner (symptoms) What is the difference between acute and chronic? - correct : begin abruptly and last a few days to few months chronic: gradual (insidious) onset and lasting longer than 6 months what is the difference between diagnosis and prognosis? - correct osis is a label (colon cancer) while prognosis is a prediction of how the individual will proceed through the disease (predicting patient will live 15 more years) What is the difference between morbidity and mortality? - correct dity: negative outcome with disease complications that impact the quality of life mortality: death What are the advantages of studying epidemiology? - correct , who, why, how 1. recognizing where disease is most widespread 2. recognizing who's most affected by the disease 3. discovering why disease is presenting in a certain population 4. discovering how to reduce spread or eradicate disease What is the difference between incidence and prevalence? - correct answers.Incidence: the rate of occurrence of a disease at any given time (what is the probability of someone DEVELOPING a disease?)

Hypertrophy? Hyperplasia? - correct answers.Atrophy: decrease in functional demand of a cell, lack of muscle movement, ischemia (decreased oxygen supply to cell), removal of hormonal or neural signals contributing to cell growth or muscle use hypertrophy and hyperplasia: increase in growth/trophic signals, increased demand/exercise, increase in demand of lymph tissue filtering (adenoid hypertrophy)
