Question
Answer
Pathology   Study of disease, focusing on physiologic, gross, and microscopic morphologic changes in cells reacting to injury  
🗑
Disease   An impairment of the normal state of the living animal or plant body that affects the performance of the vital functions  
🗑
How are most disease catagorized?   Pathological processes  
🗑
Etiology   Cause of disease  
🗑
Iatrogenic   "provider induced"  
🗑
Pathogenesis   description of the mechanisms by which diseases develop  
🗑
Sign   objective evidence (a peceptible change) the signal disease  
🗑
Symptom   a patient’s subjective experience or interpretation of the disease.  
🗑
Syndrome   a group of signs &/or symptoms that characteristically occur together as a part of a single disease process  
🗑
Pathognomonic   a sign, symptom or characteristic of a disease that leads to its accurate diagnosis.  
🗑
Prognosis   reasonable predictions about the course of a disease or process taking into account the natural history, the expected effects of therapy and particular factors specific for the individual case.  
🗑
Parenchyma   the functional elements of an organ, e.g., myocardial cell (myocyte) of the heart; neuron of the brain.  
🗑
Stroma   the framework or support elements of an organ, e.g., the connective tissue (interstitium) of the heart surrounding the myocyte  
🗑
Lesion   any pathological abnormality of tissue structure or function.  
🗑
Describe deficiency when talking about causes of cell injury   Lack of necessary substance. Ex:Nutritional, inability to absorb of utilize nutrients, genetic defect leading to inadequate production or regulation  
🗑
Describe intoxication when talkign about causes of cell injury   Presence of substance that interferes with cell function  
🗑
Endogenous intoxication   Genetic defect, accumulation fo metabolite  
🗑
Exogenous   infectious agents, chemicals, drugs (illegal and prescription)  
🗑
Define trauma when talkign about causes of cell injury   Loss of structural integrity  
🗑
Hypothermia (in realtion to traumma/cell injury)   Formation of ice crystals  
🗑
Hyperthermia (in relation to trauma/cell injury)   Denaturation or oxidation of proteins  
🗑
Mechanical pressure   Type of cell trauma  
🗑
Infections(in relation to trauma/cell injury)   Cell rupture/lysis  
🗑
Hypoxia   example of deprivation. State of tissue or cell oxygen deficiency  
🗑
Ischemia   Example of deficiency. Oxygen deprevation due to lack of blood flow  
🗑
Why do cells need oxygen   to make more ATP. 36 ATP made by oxidative phosphorylation comapred to 2 made with anaerobic glycolysis  
🗑
What happens to cell if lack of oxygen is due to ischemia?   inflow of substrate decreases and efflux of metabolic end product slows.  
🗑
