Intro to Human Disease

QuestionAnswer
pathophysiology function of disease/how it's progressing
pathogenesis looking at the disease and how it started
clinical manifestations signs and symptoms
diagnosis treatment/care measures
etiology cause, factors that come into play
predisposing factors risk of getting ill
epidemology how it started and where it is going
incidence occurrence, rate
communicable how it spread
notifiable when doctors have to report
acute sudden, short term
chronic long term
onset suddenly
latent no signs or symptoms
manifestations signs and symptoms, what happened
signs you can see
symptoms you can't see, patient has to describe it to you
cellular transport movement in cells
passive transport diffusion liquid bilayer, requires energy, facilitated dilatation
active transport requires no energy
mitosis cell division
necrosis tissue death
passive process diffusion and osmosis
diffusion high to low concentration
osmosis movement of water, high to low, no energy required
active process endocytic and exocytosis
endocytic inside cell process
exocytosis outside cell process
adaption atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, and dysplasia
atrophy reduction in cell size, decrease work commands
hypertrophy increase in cell size, producing more energy
hyperplasia increase in cell numbers, physiologic and non-physiologic
metaplasia cell goes from one to the other (if same cell), making the cell durable
dysplasia deranged cell growth, cell changes in shape, size, and appearance
physiologic function, responses to a need when a limb is missing
non-physiologic increase in hormones
cellular injury always cause consequences, it is the fluid in the cell
hypoxic cells have no oxygen
chemical imbalance in cell, can be from over-the-counter medicine or cleaning supplies
Infectious organism constantly reproduce
injurious nutritional imbalances starving or obesity, too few/many of something
injurious physical agents body hitting something, temperature effecting your body
necrosis tissue death that is still attached to the body
liquefaction cells liquify
coagulation grayish color, firm mass
caseous milk, cheesy like, looks like cottage cheese
gangrene wide spread, potentially fatal
dry gangrene skin looks dry and is dry to the touch, wrinkly and shrunken
moist gangrene skin feels moist to the touch, cold, looks swollen
gas liquifaction bacteria doesn't need oxygen to survive, example is a deep puncture womb
penetralium can be caused by infection from a long time ago
exogenous outside the cell, inflammation
endogenous inside the cell, inflammation
granular leukocytes white blood cells
non-granular leukocytes present in chronic inflammation, development of scar tissue
immediate transient response this response of the cells happens right away but doesn't stay long
immediate sustained response occurs with severe injury, you see inflammation for a couple of days
delayed response can happen 12 hours after injury, example is when you get sunburnt
vascular response Vessel restriction, vessel dilation, movement between fluids (plasma) between the vessel walls
cellular response movement of white blood cells into the injury site
granulocytes neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
neutrophils circulate in bloodstream at the highest number, first ones to get to injury site, puss is when they did their job and then died, enzymes destroy bacteria
eosinophils if you have allergies, you have a higher number of this
basophils few in number, produced during allergy and stress
Heparin Histamine thins the blood, makes it more watery
monocyte circulate in blood, same as macrophage, just happen in different places. Second cell to come to injury site.
engulf phagocytic cells, chase after infections and fix it when they find it by eating up debris.
lymphocyte second type of cell in cellular response, run through neck and head
b-cells attack directly and produce antibodies
t-cells go after debris on their own
Humoral Immunity b-cells work in this
cell-mediated immunity t-cells work in this
stages of acute immunity margination, emigration, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis
margination fluids leave blood, cells move to edge of blood vessels
emigration white blood cells pass through the cell and into the tissue
chemotaxis chemicals that transport cells to the injury site
phagocytosis engulfing and destroying bacteria
Opsonization prepares debris to be engulfed
Intracellular Killing (destruction) debris is in the white blood cell, about to kill bad bacteria
cytokine hormones, mediators of inflammation
