Pathophysiology - CORRECT ANSWER-the study of the
functional changes that occur in the body as a result of an
injury, disorder, or disease.
Pathology - CORRECT ANSWER-the study of changes in cells
and tissues as a result of injury or disease.
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-the mechanisms of human
body functioning.
Structure - CORRECT ANSWER-how the human body is put
together including the component parts and location of these
parts.
Function - CORRECT ANSWER-concerned with how these
component parts operate together.
Disease - CORRECT ANSWER-the functional impairment of
cells, tissues, organs, or organ systems
Syndromes - CORRECT ANSWER-a specific condition with a
recognizable, predictable pattern.
Pathogenesis - CORRECT ANSWER-the origination and
development at the point of disease onset. Literally, the disease
beginning.
Risk Factors - CORRECT ANSWER-vulnerabilities
, Etiology - CORRECT ANSWER-precise cause of disease
pathogen - CORRECT ANSWER-disease causing
microorganism
multifactorial - CORRECT ANSWER-sometimes the etiology is
unknown or has more than one genetic and or/environmental
causing events
Idiopathic - CORRECT ANSWER-when there is no known
etiology
Nosocomial disease - CORRECT ANSWER-the result of
exposure to infection in the health care environment

inadvertent result of medical treatment. ex: UTI
Clinical Manifestations - CORRECT ANSWER-the presenting
signs and symptoms of the disease.
signs - CORRECT ANSWER-observable or measurable
expressions.
symptoms - CORRECT ANSWER-indicators that are reported
by the ill individual and are indicators that are "subjective"
manifestations.
precipitating factors - CORRECT ANSWER-or triggers that
promote the onset of clinical manifestations.
