Pathophysiology (Pathophysiology)

Pathophysiology - the study of how disease processes affect the function of the body sign vs symptom - a sign is a physical manifestation (objective), a symptom is what the patient tells you about the disease (subjective) Cell components - nucleus/nucleolus, cytoplasm, cell membrane General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) - the body's adaptive response to stress in three phases—alarm, resistance, exhaustion. Intracellular fluid (ICF) - fluid inside cells Extracellular fluid (ECF) - fl...

Homeostasis - o A state in which all systems are in balance. State of equilibrium. Maintaining internal conditions stable. Allostasis: - o Ability to successfully adapt to challenges. Intricate regulatory processes orchestrated by the brain. Epidemiology: - Study of diseases within a population. Epidemiology is the method used to find the causes of health outcomes and diseases in populations. Review the different levels of disease prevention such as primary, secondary, and tertiary as w...

Function of mitochondria - ATP production/cellular respiration, powerhouse of the cell Rough ER - That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes. Smooth ER - That portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is free of ribosomes. Homeostasis - A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level Hypertrophy - increase in muscle/tissue size, excessive development ...

Type 1 diabetes - Diabetes of a form that usually develops during childhood or adolescence and is characterized by a severe deficiency of insulin, leading to high blood glucose levels. polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia. Type 2 diabetes - Diabetes of a form that develops especially in adults and most often obese individuals and that is characterized by high blood glucose resulting from impaired insulin utilization coupled with the body's inability to compensate with increased insulin production...

passive immunity - Transfer of performed antibodies against a specific antigen from protected or immunized individual to an unprotected or non-immunized individual Examples of passive immunity - IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing placenta, antitoxin, serotherapy (direct injection of antibodies) Potassium Value normal range( intercellular cation) - 3.5-5.0 mEq/L Sodium value normal range (major cation of extracellular fluid) - 135-145 mEq/L Calcium value normal range - 9-11 mg/...

• What is allostasis?: the process by which the body responds to stressors in order to regain homeostasis • Sequela: a disease or condition which is caused by an earlier disease or problem • Complication: the act or process worsening of a condition or disease process • What happens during the alarm phase of Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome?: fight or flight stage; heart rate increases, adrenal gland releases cor- tisol (the stress hormone) and you receive a boost of adrenalin...
