Essentials of Pathophysiology Exam 1
etiology - ✔✔ correct answer study of the causes or reasons for phenomena
pathogensis - ✔✔ correct answer refers to the development or evolution of a disease, from initial
stimulus to the ultimate expression of the manifestation of the disease
clinical manifestations - ✔✔ correct answer manifestations of disease that are observed are termed
signs of disease
treatment implications - ✔✔ correct answer An understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical
consequences of a particular disorder may suggest that certain treatments could be helpful.
Pathophysiology includes - ✔✔ correct answer etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, treatment
implications
sequela - ✔✔ correct answer term used to describe a chronic complication of an acute condition (long
term effect of a temporary disease or injury) which follow immediately from condition
latent - ✔✔ correct answer term used when conditions are later on or remaining inactive or hidden
phase; dormant
primary prevention - ✔✔ correct answer intervening before health effects occur, through measures such
as vaccinations, altering risk behaviors and banning substances known to be assoicated with a disease or
health condition
secondary prevention - ✔✔ correct answer trying to detect a disease early and prevent it from getting
worse
fight or flight response - ✔✔ correct answer heart and blood pressure increases
dilated pupils
pale/flushed skin
blunt pain response is compromised
your on edge
, Essentials of Pathophysiology Exam 1
Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome - ✔✔ correct answer 3 stages: alarm, resistance, exhaustion
alarm stage - ✔✔ correct answer fight or flight occurs.
the client experiences reduced resistance to stressors.
chemical compounds the body releases during a stress response are __ and __ - ✔✔ correct answer
catecholamines (adrenaline/epinephrine) and cortisol
allostasis - ✔✔ correct answer the process or ability of an organism (human) to successfully adapt to
changes or stress to regain homeostasis
Mitochondria - ✔✔ correct answer within cells function to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for
energy
osmosis - ✔✔ correct answer how fluid is distribution between interstitial and intracellular
compartments
of the four ways fluid is excreted from the human body, which are primary
respiratory tract, GI tract, skin, kidneys - ✔✔ correct answer urination and sweating
when the body is depleted of extracellular volume what will occur - ✔✔ correct answer vomiting and
diarrhea
extracellular fluid contains higher concentrations of what - ✔✔ correct answer sodium and bicarbonate
hyponatremia - ✔✔ correct answer is potentially fatal due to swelling in the brain (low sodium levels
causes swelling)
hypertnatremia - ✔✔ correct answer pt with excess of sodium in blood
