Disease correct answers Any abnormal disturbance of the function or structure of the
human body as a result of some type of injury
Pathogenesis correct answers development of disease; The sequence of events
producing cellular changes that lead to manifestations
Symptom correct answers Any subjective evidence of a disease as perceived by the
patient
manifestation correct answers Observable changes resulting from the cellular changes
and the disease process
Sign correct answers And objective manifestation that is detected by the physician
during examination
Syndrome correct answers A group of signs and symptoms that characterizes a
specific abnormal disturbance
asymptomatic correct answers showing no symptoms of disease
Etiology correct answers study of the cause of disease
Nosocomial correct answers Hospital acquired disease or infection

Sequelae correct answers a problem resulting from a disease or injury
Diagnosis correct answers The identification of a disease an individual is believed to
have
, Prognosis correct answers The predicted course and outcome of the disease
Morphology correct answers The structure of cells or tissue
Subtractive/lytic/destructive correct answers Tissue composition altered in decreasing
the atomic number which changes skin thickness; Thinner skin
Additive/sclerotic correct answers Pathologic conditions cause an increase in normal
density of tissue resulting in a higher atomic number; Thicker skin
Epidemiology correct answers The investigation of disease in large groups
Prevalence correct answers Refers to the number of cases found in a given population
Incidence correct answers Refers to the number of new cases found in a given period
Endemic correct answers A disease confined to a particular country or area
Mortality rate correct answers The average number of deaths caused by a particular
disease in a population
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) correct answers Monitor and report
mortality rates and terms of leading causes of death according to gender race age and
specific causes of death such as heart disease or malignant neoplasia
United States department of health and human services (USDHHS) correct answers
Monitor and report mortality rates in terms of leading causes of death according to
gender race age and specific causes of death such as heart disease or malignant
neoplasia.
Center for disease control and prevention (CDC) correct answers Tracks monitors and
reports trends in health and aging
Death rate for heart disease correct answers Has declined in both men and women by
30 to 40% over the past 20 years due to education and lifestyle changes
Chronic diseases correct answers Continue to be the leading cause of death in the
United States for adults 45 years and up
Heart disease and malignant neoplasia correct answers Remain to top causes of death
two males and females I am responsible for 46% of all deaths
Third fourth and fifth top causes of death correct answers Lower respiratory disease,
unintentional injuries as a result of accidents, and cerebrovascular disease.
