| aerobic | of or pertaining to the presence of air or oxygen |
| alkalosis | a condition with a low concentration of hydrogen ions |
| anaerobic | metabolism and function with out oxygen |
| atrophy | decrease in cell size causing reduction in tissue mass |
| hyper-trophy | increase in cell size causing an enlarge tissue mass |
| hyper-plasia | abnormal increase in the number of cells causing enlarge tissue mass |
| dysplasia | abnormal cellular growrh |
| hypo-oxemia | a lower then normal oxygen content in the blood |
| ischemia | decrease blood supply to an organ or tissue |
| metaplasia | a change from one cell tupe to another that is better able to tolerate adverse conditions |
| necrosis | death of a cell or group of cells |
| neoplasia | new and abnormal development of cells, which may be benign or malignant |
| apoptosis | normal programmed cell death in tissues |
| authopsy | examination of a dead body |
| biopsy | removal of a small iece of living tissue for microscopic exam to determine a diagnosis |
| endogenous | orgination from inside the body |
| exogenous | orginating fron outside the body |
| gangrene | nectotic tissue infected by bacteria |
| homeostasis | stablized enviroment within the body including BP, PH, Temp |
| iatrogenic | neg effect on the bodfy cause by a treatment, procedure or error |
| idiopathic | no known cause |
| inflammation | redness, swelling, earmth and pain resulting from tissue damage |
| lysis | destruction of a cell |
| lysosomal | destruction enzymes within the tissue causing inflammation and damage to cells |
| pathphysiology | the study of functional or physiologic changes in the body that result from disease processes |
| disease | a deviation from the normal state of health |
| etiology | causes of a disease |
| prognosis | the predicted outcome or likeihood of recovery from a specific disease |
| menifestations | signs and symptoms |
| pathogenesis | the development of the disease or sequence of events |
| insidious | gradual progression with vague or very mild signs |
| acute disease | short term illness, develops very fast |
| chronic disease | long term illness, cause more permanent tissue damage |
| subclinical | condition where pathologic changes occur with no obvious signs showing |
| latent or silent stage | incubation peroid, time between exposure and the onset of signs or symptoms |
| prodromal period | a time in the early development of a disease when one is aware of a change in the body but the sign are nonspecific |
| signs | objective indicators of disease like fever, skin rash |
| symptoms | subjective feelings, pain or nausea |
| lesion | a specific local change in the tissue, blister, pimple |
| syndrome | a collection of signs and symptoms |
| diagnostic test | lab tests to assist in diagnosis |
| remission | marks the course or progress of a disease which has subsided, rheumatoid arthritis |
| exacerbations | marks the course or progress of a disease whose signs increase, like rheumotoid arthritis |
| precipitating factors | a condition that triggers an acute episode like seizure |
| complications | additional problems that arise after the original disease begins |
| therapy or therapeutic interventions | are treatment measures used to promote recovery or slow the progress , surgery, drugs |
| sequelae | unwanted outcomes of the primary condition, paralysis |
| convalescence | period of recovery to return to normal health |
| morbidity | indicates the disease rates within a group |
| mortality | the number of deaths from a particular disease |
| epidemiology | the tracking the pattern or occurence of a disease |
| epidemics | when many cases of an infectious disease within a given area occur |
| pandemics | high number of cases of infectious disease occur in several regions or worldwide |
| disease occurrence | is tracked by incidence (new cases) and prevalence (new and old cases) |
| communicable disease | infections that can be spread from one person to another |
| notifiable or reportable diseases | must be reporte by the physician to designated authorities, HIV |
| anaplasia | cells that are undifferentiated and have variable nuclei, cell structure, numerous mitotic figures, cancer |
| micro-organisms | very small organisms, not visible to the eye, usually single cell |
| micro-scopic | must be magnified by a microscope to be visible |
| morphologic | the physical size, form, structure, shape of cells or organs |
| infarction | an area of dead cells resulting from a lick of oxygen |
| fat necrosis | fatty tissue is broken down into fatty acids in the presence of infection or enzymes |
| caseous necrosis | a form of coagulation necrosis that thick, yellowish, cheesy substance, TB |
| coagulative necrosis | when cell protains are altered or denatured, the cell retain some form for a time after death |
| liquefaction necrosis | when dead cells liquefy caused by certain enzymes |
