Gould's Pathophysiology Chapter 1:
Introduction to Pathophysiology Study
Guide
1. Intracellular fluids - ✔Within the cells. 2/3-3/4 of all body fluids
2. Extracellular Fluids - ✔All fluids outside of the cells
3. Interstitial fluid - ✔Tissue Fluids, fluids between cells in tissues
4. Homeostatis - ✔maintenance of relatively stable internal environment regardless of
external changes. Blood pressure, body temperature, and fluid balances
5. diagnosis - ✔identification of a specific disease through signs and symptoms, lab tests
and other tools
6. etiology - ✔causative factors. may be one or several
7. idiopathic - ✔cause of disease is unknown
8. iatrogenic - ✔a treatment, procedure or error causes the disease
9. example of iatrogenic disease - ✔bladder infection from catheterization, bone marrow
damage from prescribed drug
10. predisposing factors - ✔Tendencies that promote development of disease; include age,
gender, inherited factors, occupational exposure or dietary practices
, Gould's Pathophysiology Chapter 1:
Introduction to Pathophysiology Study
Guide
11. prophylaxis - ✔designed to preserve health and prevent diseases
12. prevention - ✔linked to predisposing factors and etiology
13. pathogenesis - ✔Development of disease or sequence of events involved in the tissue
changes related to a specific disease process
14. -esis - ✔action; condition; state of
15. patho- - ✔disease
16. -gensis - ✔producing; forming
17. acute onset - ✔sudden and obvious; short term
18. insidious - ✔gradual processino with only vague mild signs
19. chronic - ✔milder condition developing gradually
20. subclinical - ✔pathologic changes occur but patient exhibits NO SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS
