A&P Test Part 1- Ch.6 Mechanisms of Disease J Terms in this set (49) Subjective atypical condition Symptoms Condition or syndrome defined by a characteristic set of signs & symptoms? Disease Diseases can be fought by? Prevention and therapy (treatment) Study of disease pathology The study of underlying physiological aspect of a disease? Pathophysiology Collection of different signs and symptoms that present a distinct picture of a pathological condition Syndrome Pathogenic organisms or particles that damage the body in some way? Infectious mechanisms Atypical tissue growths or neoplasms (tumors & cancer) that develop? Neoplastic mechanisms Injury by physical or chemical agents? Traumatic mechanisms Disrupts the body's ability to use nutrients for energy? Metabolic mechanisms Study of factors involved in causing a disease etiology Objective atypical conditions Signs Another term for recovery? Convalescence Disease native to a local region endemic "Hidden" stage Latent Epidemics that spread throughout the world pandemic Actual mechanism of a disease's development Pathogenesis A&P Test Part 1- Ch.6 Mechanisms of Disease The smallest of all pathogens consisting of microscopic nonliving particles are called: Virus A tiny, primitive cell without a nucleus is called bacterium Pathogenic protein molecules that convert normal proteins to abnormal proteins? Prions Nonreproducing forms of bacteria that resist unfavorable environmental conditons? Spores An example of a viral disease is mononucleosis Bacteria that require oxygen for metabolism are classified as: Aerobic Bacilli are shaped like rods Without chlorophyll, pathogenic ____________ can-not produce their own food, so they must consume or parasitize other organisms. Fungi Protozoa include amoebas flagellates ciliates Multicellular pathogenic animals include which of the following? Nematodes Platyhelminths Arthropods The key to preventing diseases caused by pathogenic organisms is to: Stop them from entering the body The destruction of all living organisms is known as: Sterilization Ways in which pathogens can spread include: person-to-person contact environmental contact opportunistic invasion transmission by vector Compounds produced by certain living organisms that kill or inhibit bacterial pathogens are: Antibiotics Benign tumors usually grow (slowly or quickly) Slowly Malignant tumors (are or are not) encapsulated are not An example of a benign tumor that arises from epithelial tissue is a (papilloma or lipoma). Papilloma A general term for malignant tumors that arise from connective tissues is (carcinoma or sarcoma). Sarcoma Atypical, undifferentiated tumor cells are often produced by a process called (hyperplasia or anaplasia). Anaplasia A&P Test Part 1- Ch.6 Mechanisms of Disease (Staging or Grading) involves classifying a tumor based on its size and the extent of its spread. Staging Chemotaxis? The movement of white blood cells in response to chemical attractants Diseases with undetermined causes are Idiopathic The study of the occurrence, distribution, and trans-mission of diseases is: Epidemiology Streptomycin is an example of a/an: Antibiotic Reversal of a chronic condition is called: Remission If antibodies are found in an immunological test, it is assumed that: the patient has been exposed to a pathogen An epidemiologist: studies the transmission of disease monitors infection control programs tracks the spread of disease Study of the underlying physiological processes associated with disease leads to: strategies of prevention strategies of treatment Severe loss of appetite, weight loss, and general weakness in a cancer patient describe Cachexia Intracellular parasites that are not technically living organisms are characteristics of: Viruses Examples of protozoa include flagellates sporozoa amoebas
