, 1 Introduction to Pathophysiology
Q1: What is pathophysiology?
A: The study of how diseases change normal body functions.
Q2: What is pathogenesis?
A: The step-by-step development of a disease.
Q3: What is etiology?
A: The cause of a disease.
Q4: What is the difference between signs and symptoms?
A: Signs are objective changes observed by others; symptoms are subjective feelings
reported by the patient.
Q5: What is homeostasis?
A: The body’s way to keep internal conditions stable.
Q6: What role does the cell membrane play in health?
A: It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Q7: What is hypoxia?
A: Low oxygen in tissues.
Q8: What is ischemia?
A: Reduced blood flow to an area.
Q9: What is necrosis?
A: Cell death due to injury.
Q10: What is the main function of the nucleus?
A: It stores genetic information and controls cell activities.
Q11: How does the body respond to stress initially?
A: By activating the fight-or-flight response.
Q12: What is a risk factor for disease?
A: Anything that increases the chance of getting a disease, like smoking.
Q13: What is acute vs chronic disease?
A: Acute is short-term and severe; chronic is long-term.
Q14: What is epidemiology?
A: The study of disease patterns in populations.
Q15: What is the role of genetics in pathophysiology?
A: Genes can predispose people to certain diseases.
Q16: What is inflammation’s purpose?
A: To protect the body from harm and start healing.
Q17: What is a pathogen?
A: A germ that causes disease, like bacteria or virus.
Q18: What is the integumentary system?
A: The skin and its protective role.
