Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
chapter 1 Terms
signs correct answers Measurable or objective manifestations
Symptoms correct answers Feelings that the patient describes - subjective
manifestations
asymptomatic correct answers Without subjective or objective manifestations
diagnosis correct answers identification of a disease process
Etiology correct answers study of the cause of disease
idiopathic correct answers underlying cause is unknown
prognosis correct answers probable patient outcome
syndrome correct answers linked combination of signs and symptoms
latrogenic correct answers Disease caused by physician or treatment
nosocomial infection correct answers infections contracted in the acute care facility
(most common: UTI)
community-acquired infections correct answers infections contracted in a public setting
outside of the acute care facility (COVID)
Events that occur in inflammatory response correct answers 1) Alterations in blood flow
and vascular permeability.
2) Migration of circulating white blood cells to the interstitium of the injured tissue.
3) Phagocytosis and enzymatic digestion of dead cells and tissue elements.
4) Repair of injury by regeneration of normal parenchymal cells or proliferation of
granulation tissue and eventual scar formation.
5 clinical signs of ACUTE inflammation correct answers 1-Rubor (redness)
2-Calor (heat)
3-Tumor (swelling)
4-Dolor (pain)
5-Loss of function
, filariasis correct answers a parasitic worm that causes lymphatic obstruction and
results in localized edema (elephantiasis)
inflammation correct answers initial response of the tissue to the local injury
permeable membrane correct answers allows fluids/cells to pass from one tissue to
another tissue or location
granulation tissue correct answers Fibrous scar replaces destroyed tissue
Pyogenic bacteria correct answers Thick, yellow fluid called pus (dead white cells)
abscess correct answers Localized, usually encapsulated, collection of fluid
Bacteremia correct answers Potential involvement of other organs and tissues in the
body by organisms invading the blood vessels
edema correct answers Accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the intercellular
tissue spaces or body cavities
anasarca correct answers Generalized edema that occurs with pronounced swelling of
subcutaneous tissues throughout the body
elephantiasis correct answers Localized lymphatic obstruction resulting in localized
edema
ischemic correct answers interference with the blood supply to an organ or part of an
organ
also deprives the organ's cells and tissue of oxygen and nutrients
may be caused by the narrowing of arterial structures (atherosclerosis, or by thrombotic
or embolic occlusion)
A major determinant is the availability of an alternative or newly acquired route of
___________ __________. correct answers blood supply (collateral vessels)
Infarct correct answers Localized area of ischemic necrosis within a tissue or organ
produced by occlusion of either its arterial supply or its venous drainage
2 most common clinical forms of infarction correct answers myocardial and pulmonary
Almost all infarcts result from what two events? correct answers thrombotic or embolic
occulsion
infrequent causes of infarction include correct answers 1-twisting of an organ (volvulus)
2-compression of the blood supply of a loop of bowel in a hernia sac
3-trapping of a viscus under a peritoneal adhesion
