Question
Answer
a condition of physical, mental and social well-being and the absence of disease or other abnormal condition.   Health  
🗑
deviation from the normal state of health or wellness.   Disease  
🗑
when the body cannot maintain homeostasis through physiological responses to stimuli.   Disease occurs  
🗑
study of the biological & physical manifestations of disease   Pathophysiology  
🗑
identification of a specific disease through evaluation of signs & symptoms, lab tests or other tools.   Diagnosis  
🗑
the causative factors of a particular disease - may be one or more.e.g. congenital, microbial, degenerative   Etiology  
🗑
factors that increase the likelihood of getting a diseasee.g. age, heredity, lifestyle, diet, occupation   Predisposing Factors  
🗑
aimed at changing the etiology & predisposing factorse.g. flu shots, lifestyle changes (exercise, diet)   Prevention  
🗑
The clinical evidence of the disease.(signs & symptoms, behaviours, effects )   Manifestations  
🗑
found only at the site of the problem   Local Manifestations  
🗑
general symptoms of illness eg. Fever   Systemic Manifestations  
🗑
a trigger of signs & symptoms   Precipitating Factor  
🗑
additional problems that arise as a result of the original disease.   Complication  
🗑
the probability for recovery   Prognosis  
🗑
heat, cold, radiation, pressure   Physical Causes of Cell Damage/Injury  
🗑
may impair blood supply or   Physical Causes of Cell Damage/Injury  
🗑
affect cell metabolism directly   Physical Causes of Cell Damage/Injury  
🗑
exogenous (from outside the body)   Chemical Causes of Cell Damage/Injury  
🗑
endogenous (from inside the body)eg Hcl   Chemical Causes of Cell Damage/Injury

🗑
localized area of necrosis from lack of oxygen   Infarct  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
