| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Aquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome | AIDS |
| Environmental substance that causes a reaction | Allergen |
| Reaction caused by an allergen | Allergy |
| No oxygen | Anoxia |
| "immune bodies" Proteins that the body produces to react to the antigen and render it harmless | Antibodies |
| Substances that cause the body some type of harm, setting off a specific reaction | Antigens |
| A decrease in cell size, which leads to a decrease in the size of the tissue or organ | Atrophy |
| The body's lymphocytes can't identify the body's own self-antigens which are harmless. In response, the lymphocytes form antibodies that thena ttack the body's own cells | Autoimmunity |
| Limited growth, are encapsulated and easily removed | Benign |
| Describes any indivdual who has an ill, thin, wasted appearance | Cachexia |
| Any malignant tumore | Cancer |
| Present at birth, even if not apparent | Congenital |
| Disease related to aging | Degenerative |
| An alteration in size, shape and organization of cells | Dysplasia |
| Enclosed in a capsule | Encapsulated |
| Small intestine route to provide nutrition | Enteral |
| A necrotic tissue with gangrene can be wet, dry, or gas depending on the necrotic tissue | Gangrene |
| An overgrowth in response to some type of stimulus | Hyperplasias |
| An increase in the size of the cell leading to an increase in tissue and organ size | Hypertrophy |
| Not enough oxygen | Hypoxia |
| Asymptomatic (without symptoms) | Immunodeficiency |
| Commonly due to obstruction of arteries. The most common infarct affects tissues of the heart, leading to a myocardial infarction, or heart attack. | Infarct |
| The invasion of microorganisms into the tissue that causes cell or tissue injury | Infection |
| A protective immune response that is triggered by any type of injury or irritant | Inflamation |
| Cell hypoxia caused by decreased blood flow | ischemia |
| Deadly or progressing to death | Malignant |
| A cellular adaption in which the cell changes to another type of cell | Metaplasia |
| Move ex: Lung cancer commonly matastasizes to the bone | Metastasizes |
| Move ex: cancers move from a site of origin to a secondary site in the body | Metastatic |
| The human organism does not die but becomes disabled (state of being diseased) | Morbidity |
| Motor Vehicle Accidents | MVA |
| Cellular death, can involve a group of cells and thus, tissue | Necrosis |
| The development of a new type of cell with an uncontrolled growth pattern | Neoplasia |
| Commonly called "tumors" Description of the swelling related to inflamation | Neoplasms |
| Neoplasms or "new growths" can be either benign or malignant | Tumors |
| Prioritizing of care incorporating an ABC method | Triage |
| Traumatic diseases are caused by a physical injury from an external force (Leading cause of death in children and young adults) | Trauma |
| Total Parenteral Nutrition - Providing the Nutrition needed by giving nutritive liquid through a venous (vein) route | TPN |
| To administer by injection | Parenteral |
| Without immunosuppressant medications, the body's immune system will recognize the organ as foreign and attack it, leading to organ death | Organ Rejection |
| The study of cancer | Oncology |
