ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED
ANSWERS LATEST 2024 – 2025 ALREADY GRADED A+
Pathology - (answers)Study of diseases. (causes, changes at cellular level, etc)
Pathophysiology - (answers)Study of abnormalities in physiological function.
Responses to disruptions in homeostasis.
Common and classic presentations of disorders.
Physiology - (answers)Function of living organisms.
Etiology - (answers)Origin of the disease or the underlying causes and modifying
factors (can be genetic or environmental). The etiology of most disorders is
multifactorial. Can be idiopathic, iatrogenic, or from a causative agent.
Pathogenesis - (answers)Steps in the development of the disease and how
etiological factors trigger cellular and molecular changes.
Framework For Pathophysiology - (answers)Etiology -> Pathogenesis -> Clinical
Manifestations -> Treatment Implications
Signs - (answers)Objective changes that a clinician can observe and measure; e.g.,
fever or rash.

Symptoms - (answers)Subjective changes in body functions that are not apparent

Syndrome - (answers)When etiology of signs/symptoms are not determined
Stages of Clinical Course - (answers)Latent/Incubation Period -> Prodromal Period
-> Subclinical Phase -> Acute Phase/Manifest Illness
Exacerbations - (answers)Sudden increases in severity
Remission - (answers)Decline or abatement in severity
Convalescence - (answers)Stage of recover after disease, injury, or surgery.
Sequela - (answers)Condition subsequent to the condition or disease (a scar is a
