Radiographic Pathology - Chapter 1
Pathology correct answers The study of disease process
Disease correct answers Abnormal change in the function or structure within the body
Pathogenesis correct answers Sequence of events that makes a disease apparent
Etiology correct answers The study of the cause of a disease
Idiopathic correct answers Term used to describe diseases that have no known cause
Diagnosis correct answers When the pathogenesis of a disease allows one to
determine the actual disease
Prognosis correct answers A prediction of the course of the disease and the prospects
for the patient's recovery
Signs correct answers Objective manifestations that are physically observed by a
health-care professional (e.g. rash, abnormal pulse rate)
Symptoms correct answers The patient's perception of the disease (e.g. headache,
pain)
Procedures correct answers Exams performed when clinical manifestations are not
adequate to make a diagnosis
Tests correct answers An analysis of specimens taken from the patient
Frequency correct answers The rate of occurrence of a pathologic process that is
measures over a given period of time
Incidence correct answers The number of newly diagnosed cases of a disease in 1
year
Prevalence correct answers The number of people who have any given disease at any
given point in time
Morbidity Rate correct answers The ratio of sick to well persons in a given area
Mortality Rate correct answers The ratio of actual death to expected deaths
, Additive Disease correct answers The disease process adds more tissue, and technical
factor's must be increased (e.g. tumors, masses, edema)
Subtractive Disease correct answers The disease process destroys tissue and
technical factors must be reduced (e.g. osteoporosis, emphysema)
The two classifications of diseases correct answers Structural and Functional
Structural (organic) Disease correct answers Involves physical and biochemical
changes within the cell
Lesions correct answers The physical and biochemical changes present with a
structural disease
Genetic and Developmental diseases correct answers Diseases caused by
abnormalities in the genetic makeup of the individual or abnormalities due to changes in
utero
Congenital abnormalities correct answers Deformities present at birth
Hereditary Diseases correct answers Results from developmental disorders genetically
transmitted from either parent to the child and are derived from ancestors
Acquired injuries and inflammatory diseases correct answers Diseases caused by
internal or external agents that destroy cells or cause the body to injure itself by means
of inflammatory process
Necrosis correct answers Occurs when the direct effects of an injury kill the cells in the
injured area
Types of inflammatory diseases correct answers Infective diseases, toxic diseases, and
allergic diseases
Hyperplasia and Neoplasia diseases correct answers Diseases characterized by
increase in cell population
Hyperplasia correct answers A proliferative reaction to a prolonged external stimulus
and usually regresses when the stimulus is removed
Neoplasia correct answers Presumed to result from a genetic change that produces a
single population of new cells
Functional Disease correct answers Diseases in which the function of the organ may
be impaired, but its structural elements are unchanged
Exogenous Agents correct answers Causative agents that are external in nature
