Radiographic Pathology for
Technologists chapter 1
Pathology correct answers study of disease
hypertrophy correct answers increase in cell size
disease correct answers An abnormal state in which the body is not functioning
normally
Hyperplasia correct answers increase in number of cells
Pathogensis correct answers event sequence in cellular change.
Metaplasia correct answers conversion of cell type
embolization correct answers a treatment that blocks the flow of blood (i.e. to "starve" a
tumor)
Dysplasia correct answers abnormal development or growth of cells, tissues, or organs
size shape and organization
symptom correct answers subjective evidence of a disease, such as pain or a
headache
sign correct answers objective evidence of disease such as a fever
syndrome correct answers a group of symptoms and signs that characterize a specific
abnormal disturbance
asymptomatic correct answers without symptoms
manifestation correct answers observable changes resulting from cellular changes in
the disease process
Etiology correct answers study of the cause of disease
latrogenic correct answers caused by a medical treatment, procedure, or error
Morphology correct answers structure of cells or tissue
Nosocomial correct answers disease acquired from the environment
, Sequelae correct answers lasting effects caused by a previously acquired disease

chronic correct answers Long-standing, constant. Opposite of acute
mortality rate correct answers the average number of deaths caused by a disease in a
population

population in a given time period. tracked by the CDC.
human genome project correct answers sequenced DNA The molecules that make up
chromosomes in cells.
3 roles of the CDC correct answers tracking, monitoring, reporting
latrogenic correct answers adverse results from the medical procedure or treatment
idopathic correct answers unknown cause
Subtractive / Lytic / destructive correct answers decrease tissue density decrease
technique
