214 Pathology FSE
3 basic goals of inflammatory process - ANS-isolate, eliminate, regenerate
4 common causes of thrombosis (blood clot) - ANS-injuries to blood vessels reduced rate of
blood flow allegations in the composition of blood certain diseases of the blood
4 primary causes of edema - ANS-1. Increased permeability of capillary walls
2. Increased capillary pressure due to venous obstruction or heart failure
3. Inflammatory conditions
4. Fluid & electrolyte disturbances
abscess - ANS-Inflamed area of pus walled off by a membrane
abscess - ANS-localized collection of pus
active hyperemia - ANS-increased arterial blood supply to an organ for physiological reasons
(exercise)
Amelia - ANS-congenital absence of one or more limbs
Amyloid - ANS-a waxy, starch like protein that tends to build up in tissues and organs in certain
pathologic conditions. Common in certain cancers, chronic inflammatory diseases, chronic renal
failure, Alzheimer, type 2 diabetes
anasarca edema - ANS-severe generalized edema
anemia - ANS-total number of red blood cells is diminished - reduces capacity of the blood to
transport oxygen
aneurysm - ANS-enlargement or bulging of an artery caused by damage to/weakness in vessel
wall
aplasia - ANS-the defective development, or the congenital absence, of an organ or tissue
aplastic anemia - ANS-improper growth or impaired function of bone marrow
arrhythmia - ANS-abnormal heart rhythm
arteriosclerosis - ANS-Hardening of the artery walls
arteritis - ANS-inflammation of an artery
, arteritis - ANS-inflammation of the arteries
ascites edema - ANS-collection of fluid in the abdomen peritoneal space decrease of colloidal
osmotic pressure cirrhosis and other liver disease measure abdominal girth and pt weight check
breathing and frequent turning
Atherosclerosis - ANS-fatty deposits turn to plaque on artery walls
atrial septal defect - ANS-flaw in the septum that divides the two atria of the heart
atrophy - ANS-shrinkage in the size of the cell by the loss of cell substance.
benign neoplasms - ANS-adenoma - epithelial lining of glands/ducts (epithelial)papilloma -
epithelial lining of glads/ducts (epithelial)nevus- tumor of the skin (epithelial)hemangioma -
blood vessel endothelium (lining)(epithelial)osteoma - bone (connective tissue)chrondroma -
cartilage (connective tissue)fat - lipoma (connective tissue)angiomas - consists of blood vessels
(connective tissue)fibroma - fibrous connective tissues (connective tissue)rhabdomyoma -
excessive growth within muscular walls of the heart (muscle tissue)leiomyomas - smooth
muscleneuromas - nervous tissue
calor - ANS-heat
carbuncle - ANS-a cluster of connected furuncles (boils)
Cardiac Dilatation (Dilation) - ANS-increase in the heart or chamber of the heart due to
stretching of the muscle fibers in the walls of the chamber, from the chambers being overfilled
with blood
cardiac hypertrophy - ANS-increase in the size of the heart due to overgrowth of the tissues of
the heart muscle
cardiomyopathy - ANS-disease of the heart muscle
carditis - ANS-inflammation of the heart
caseous necrosis - ANS-degeneration and death of tissue with a cheese-like appearance
Cellular calcification - ANS-implies the depositing of calcium salts, magnesium, iron, etc. within
the cell.
Cellular Infiltration - ANS--Process of seepage/diffusion of a substance INTO a tissue-Prior to
swelling-Cells undergo pigmentation
