The division of pathology that deals with individual body organs or systems
special pathology
pathology dealing with various lab tests of body fluids and tissues that are used in making a
diagnosis
clinical pathology
the expulsion of blood of a gastric origin from teh mouth
hematemesis
conditions that make a body more susceptible to disease without actually causing it
predisposing conditions
the formation of pus
suppuration
term for a boil is
furuncle
a common complication of healing
adhesions
a controlled enlargement of a body organ or part due to an increase in the number of its
component cells
hyperplasia
acute diffuse inflammation of subcutaneous connective tissue
phlegmon
the escape of blood from the vascular system
hemorrhage
a blood clot that has formed within the heart or a blood vessel
thrombus
Decreased blood flow to a body part
ischemia
an embolus may consist of
,fragment of thrombi, bacteria, or tumor cells
the state of collapse that follows severe tissue injury
infarct
an exciting cause of disease
is an actual cause
shrinkage of muscle following paralysis or enlargement of the heart to offset a valvular defect
are examples of
pathological atrophy
shrinkage of the uterus after menopause or enlargement of the breasts during lactation are
examples of
physiological atrophy
an abnormal channel connecting two surfaces
fistula
gernalized edema of the subcutaneous tissue
anasarca
an area of necrosis in which the dead cells are sloughed from a free surface
ulcer
accumulation of blood in a part due to venous obstruction
passive hyperemia
increased arterial circulation leading to congestion of blood
active hyperemia
arterial thrombosis may cause
ischemia
venous thrombosis may cause
gangrene
formation of a blood clot attached to the wall of the heart or blood vessels
thrombosis
a foreign particle that becomes lodged in a blood vessesl
,embolus
a blood discoloration in the tissues
ecchymosis
a blister-like structure that contains a serious fluid
vesicle
blood in the sputum
heoptysis
the increase in the size of the cells of an organ
hypertrophy
the reaction of tissue to an irritant
inflammation
any structural change that occurs in a disease
lesion
replacement of dead tissue cells with connective tissue cells
repair
most closely associated with infarction
ischemia
the termination of an inflammatory reaction with the return to normal body part
resolution
the union of two or more adjacent boils
carbuncle
thick liquid that collects around an infection
exudate
antibodies are found in the
blood
gumma is a lesion of
syphillis
, a marked increase in the number of red blood cells
erythrocytosis
a benign tumor of muscle tissue
myoma
leukemia is likely to be accompanied by a massive proliferation of
leukocytes
a nevus
mole
the form of anemia that develops as a complication of another disease
secondary
a neoplasm that is benign and composed of a mass of minute blood vessels or lymph vessels
an angioma
the study of the face and its features
physiognomy
the most common frontal view shape of the head
oval
directly anterior to the ear passage lies the
mandibular fossa
the bony structures that create the widest part of the face
zygomatic arches
where is the superior border of the chin found when measured from the line of closure of the
mouth to the base of the chin
one-half
the superior border of the ear lies on the same transverse plane as the
eyebrow
the length of the ear is equal to the distance from the normal hairline to the
eyebrow
