Pathophysiology Exam 1 Study Guide
with Complete Solutions
Pathophysiology - Answer✔️✔️-Study of the bodies response to dysfunction
and or disease
disease - Answer✔️✔️-An interruption, cessation, or disorder of a body
system or organ structure
Etiologic factors (causes of disease) PBCN - Answer✔️✔️-P - Physical forces
(trauma, burns, radiation)
B - Biologic agent (bacteria, virus)
C - Chemical agent (poisons, alcohol)
N - Nutritional excess or deficits
Etiology: risk factors - Answer✔️✔️-Congenital - present at birth (genetic
influences and or maternal drug use)
Acquired later in life (caused by experienced events such as exposure to an
infectious agent, bad nutrition, lack of oxygen, faulty immune response,
neoplasia (forming of a new growth)
Pathogenesis - Answer✔️✔️-The sequence of cellular and tissue events that
happen from point of initial contact until expression of disease

Morphology - Answer✔️✔️-study of fundamental form or structure of cells
or tissues
Histology - Answer✔️✔️-Study of the cells of body tissues
Clinical manifestations - Answer✔️✔️-How the disease presents itself thru
signs and symptoms
sign - Answer✔️✔️-a manifestation that is noted by an observer
symptom - Answer✔️✔️-subjective evidence of a disease, such as pain or a
headache. Patient tells you there symptoms
syndrome - Answer✔️✔️-A compilation of signs and symptoms that are
characteristic of a specific disease state.
Diagnosis - Answer✔️✔️-Designating the nature or cause of a health
problem
What does a diagnosis require? - Answer✔️✔️-History, physical exam, and
diagnostic tests
Predictive factors - Answer✔️✔️-Diagnosis
Sensitivity and specificity
Reliability
Predictive value

sensitivity and specificity - Answer✔️✔️-how well the test or observation
identifies people with or without a disease
Reliability - Answer✔️✔️-the extent to which a repeated observation is
repeated and gives the same results
Predictive value - Answer✔️✔️-The extent to which an observation is able to
predict the presence of a disease
Validity - Answer✔️✔️-the extent to which a test measures or predicts what
it is supposed to
Acute - Answer✔️✔️-Severe but self-limiting
Sub-acute - Answer✔️✔️-Between acute and chronic (not as prolonged)
Chronic - Answer✔️✔️-Continuous, long-term process
Disease Frequency factors - Answer✔️✔️-Disease case
Incidence
Prevalence
disease case - Answer✔️✔️-an existing case or the number of new episodes
of a particular illness
Incidence - Answer✔️✔️-# of new cases arising in a population in a set time
Prevalence - Answer✔️✔️-the measure of existing disease at a given point in
time
