Pathophysiology - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔the study of how
disease processes affect the function of the body
How is homeostasis maintained? - . . ANSWER ✔
✔negative feedback loops
Diagnosis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔identification of a disease
Etiology - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔cause of disease
Idiopathic - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔unknown cause
prophylaxis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔prevention of disease

Pathogenesis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔development of disease
Prognosis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔a forecast of the probable
course and outcome of a disease or situation
Morbidity - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔the disease rates within a
group
Epidemic - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔A widespread outbreak of an
infectious disease.
Atrophy - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔decrease in cell size. Ex:
shrinkage of skeletal muscle that occurs when a limb is
immobilized in a cast for several weeks.
Dysplasia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔cells vary in size and shape,
large nuclei present, rate of mitosis is increased. Pap
smear tests for this on cervical cells.
Hyperplasia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔increased number of cells
resulting in an enlarged tissue mass. Ex: uterine
enlargement in pregnancy.

Metaplasia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔when one mature cell type is
replaced by a different mature cell type. ex: change in
respiratory tracts in cigarette smokers.
Anaplasia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔refers to cells that are
undifferentiated with variable nuclear and cell structures
and numerous mitotic figures. Ex: malignant tumors
Hypoxia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔reduced oxygen in the tissue.
-interferes with ATP production in the cell, leading to loss
of sodium pump out the cell membrane as well as loss of
cell functions.
Ischemia - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔blockage that impedes blood
flow
Necrosis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔tissue death ex: ischemia
Apoptosis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔programmed cell death, a
normal occurrence

How to temperature extremes affect the body's cells? - . .
ANSWER ✔ ✔Heat may impair blood supply to the cells
or affect metabolic processes.
Osmosis - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔movement of water from low
solute concentration (ISF) to high concentration (blood)
Diffusion - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔movement of solutes (e.g.
Na+, glucose) from high concentration to low.
hydrostatic pressure - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔the push force
within a blood vessel
edema - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔excessive amount of fluid in the
interstitial compartment, which causes swelling, or
enlargement of tissues.
What are 4 causes of edema? - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔1.
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
2. Loss of plasma proteins, particularly albumin
3. Obstruction of the lymphatic circulation
4. Increased capillary permeability
