Radiology Pathology Chapter 1-3
Pathology correct answers Study of disease
Disease correct answers Any abnormal disturbance of function or structure of the body
after injury
Pathogenesis correct answers Sequence of events producing cellular changes that
lead to manefestations
Manifestation correct answers Observable changes
Symptom correct answers Patient's perception of a disease; subjective (headache)
Sign correct answers Manifestation observed by a physician; objective (fever, swelling,
rash)
Syndrome correct answers Characterizes a specific abnormal disturbance; collection of
signs and symptoms
Asymptomatic correct answers Does not produce symptoms
Etiology correct answers Study of the cause of disease
Nosocomial correct answers Hospital acquired disease; acquired from the environment
(infection after surgery)
Iatrogenic correct answers Adverse responses or reactions to medical treatment
Idiopathic correct answers No causative factor can be identified
Acute disease correct answers Quick onset, short period (pneumonia)
Sequelae correct answers Lasting effects following an acute disease
Chronic disease correct answers Slow manifest, long lasting (multiple sclerosis)
Diagnosis correct answers Identification of a disease
Morphology correct answers Structure of cells or tissues; pathological conditions may
cause morphological changes
Epidemiology correct answers Investigation of disease in large groups
, Prevalence of disease correct answers Number of cases found in a given population
Endemic correct answers High prevalence in an area with a causative organism
Incidence of disease correct answers Number of new cases in a given period
Mortality rate correct answers Average number of deaths caused by a particular
disease in a population
Morbidity rate correct answers Incidence of sickness sufficient to interfere with an
individual's normal daily routine
Physical maps correct answers Determine physical location of a particular gene on a
specific chromosome
Genetic maps correct answers Used to assign distance between genetic markers
(mapping/linking DNA fragments) to a specific chromosome
Atrophy correct answers Reduction in size or wasting of cells, tissues, or organs as a
result of poor nutrition or nonuse
Hypertrophy correct answers Increase in the number of cells in a tissue as a result of
excessive proliferation
Metaplasia correct answers Conversion of one cell type into another cell type that is not
normal for that tissue
Dysplasia correct answers Abnormal changes of mature cells
Congenital disease correct answers Present at birth and resulting from genetic or
environmental factors
Hereditary disease correct answers Caused by developmental disorders genetically
transmitted from parent to child through abnormalities of individual genes in
chromosomes, derived from ancestors
Dominant trait correct answers Transmitted by a single gene from either parent
Recessive trait correct answers Transmitted by both parents to an offspring
Inflammatory disease correct answers Results from the body's reaction to a localized
agent; infective, toxic, and allergic
Infective disease correct answers Results from invasion by microorganisms; virus,
bacteria, or fungi
