disease in a population
,Autoantibodies - ANSWER: Antibody acting against its own tissue or organism.

injure the patient's own tissues, in contrast to the normal process in which
antibodies form in response to foreign antigens.

A neoplasticism growth is evaluated to determine its degree of histologic
differentiation. This is termed: - ANSWER: Grading
A DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide in the genome differs
between members of a biological species or paired chromosomes in an individual -
ANSWER: SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS (SNPs)
Sarcoma - ANSWER: A type of tumor, often highly malignant, composed of a
substance similar to embryonic connective tissue
SEEDING - ANSWER: Traveling of cancerous cells to a distant site or distant organ
An objective manifestation of disease that is detected by the physician during

patient
A compression fracture of the lumbar spine that results from steroid treatments for
pain reduction of arthritis would be an example of ____________ disease. -
ANSWER: Iatrogenic
Carcinoma - ANSWER: A malignant growth composed of epithelial cells that tends to
invade surrounding tissues and give rise to metastasis
Chronic - ANSWER: Presenting slowly and persisting over a long period of time
Congenital - ANSWER: Existing at, and usually before, birth and resulting from
genetic or environmental factors
A disease such as Tay-Sachs syndrome that is transmitted genetically is termed: -
ANSWER: Hereditary
Neoplastic - ANSWER: Pertaining to new, abnormal tissue growth
Acute - ANSWER: Having a quick onset and lasting a short period of time with a
relatively severe course
Morbidity Rate - ANSWER: The incidence of sickness sufficient to interfere with an
individual's normal daily routine
Pathogenesis - ANSWER: Refers to the sequence of events producing cellular
changes that ultimately leading to observable changes.
Asymptomatic - ANSWER: Showing or causing no identifiable symptoms
Atrophy - ANSWER: A reduction in size or a wasting of cells, tissues, or organs as a
result of poor nutrition or nonuse
Hematogenous Spread - ANSWER: Spread through the blood
Physical mapping - ANSWER: A form of genetic mapping based on direct analysis of
DNA , in which the physical distance between DNA, fragments are measured. This is
used to assign DNA fragments to specific chromosomes.
Hereditary - ANSWER: Genetically transferred from ethier parent to child & derived
from ancestors
Prognosis - ANSWER: The prediction of course and outcome for a given disease.
Hyperplasia - ANSWER: Overdevelopment
, The prediction of the course and end of a disease and an outlook based on that
prediction best define its: - ANSWER: Prognosis
Genome - ANSWER: The entirety of an organism's hereditary information, including
both the genes and the non-coding sequences of DNA and ribonucleic acid
Haplotype - ANSWER: A combination of DNA sequences at adjacent locations on the
chromosome that are transmitted together
A disease that manifests slowly and is present for a long period is said to be? -
ANSWER: Chronic
Which of the following disease classifications is usually associated with the normal
aging process? - ANSWER: Degenerative
Nosocomial - ANSWER: Originating or taking place in a hospital, acquired in a
hospital, especially in reference to an infection.
Incidence - ANSWER: A statistical measure that refers to the number of new cases of
a disease found in a given period of time.
Infection - ANSWER: An inflammatory process caused by exposure to some disease-
causing organism.
Inflammatory - ANSWER: Refers to the body process of destroying, diluting, or
walling off a localized injurious agent.
Lymphatic spread - ANSWER: Spread through the lymphatic system.
Lymphoma - ANSWER: Neoplasticism growth in the lymphatic system.
Malignant neoplasm - ANSWER: A lesion that grows, spreads, and invades other
tissues.
Generalized increase in cell size refers to? - ANSWER: Hyperplasia
Which of the following would be considered a symptom of a disease process? -
ANSWER: Nausea
Dysplasia - ANSWER: the abnormal growth or development of a tissue or organ.
Etiology - ANSWER: The cause or origin of the disease
Epidemiology - ANSWER: Study and control of disease or injury patterns in human
populations
