| Alteration of homeostasis Change in structure/function Considered abnormal in the body | Disease |
| State of sameness/normalcy the body strives to maintain | Homeostasis |
| Pathologic condition of body and mind | Disorder |
| Example of nutritional disorder | Vitamin deficiency |
| Example of bone disorder | Malformation of a joint |
| Group of symptoms caused by several interrelated problems | Syndrome |
| Structural/Morphological alterations associated with a diseased state in an individual | Lesion |
| A change which is specifically characteristic of a disease Distinct for a disease | Pathognomic lesion |
| Example of pathognomic lesion | Reed-Sternberg cells (RS cells) in Hodgkins Disease |
| Observed manifestations, seen by naked eye | Clinical Signs |
| Subjective feeling of an abnormality in the body Reported by the person himself/herself | Clinical Symptoms |
| What are 5 Predisposing factors of developing disease | HAGEL 1. Heredity 2. Age 3. Gender 4. Environment 5. Lifestyle |
| Predisposing factor for Age: Newborns and Elderly? | Newborns - IS not fully developed Elderly - IS degenerating |
| Predisposing factor for Gendery: Men (2) Women (3) | Men - Lung CA, Gout Women - prone to Breast CA, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid arthritis |
| 3 Arthritis include... | GOR 1. Gout 2. Osteoporosis 3. Rheumatoid arthritis |
| Pimple is an example of what? | Papule |
| A papule with water is what? | Vesicule |
| Inflammation of the big toe due to Gout | Podagra |
| Smoking causes what? (3) | CEL 1. COPD 2. Emphysema 3. Lung CA |
| Alcohol drinking leads to what? (1) | Cirrhosis |
| Lack of exercise may lead to what? (1) | Low backbone pain |
| Stress can lead to what? (1) | Production of oxidants |
| Caused by injury from an external forc Leading cause of death in children and young adults | Trauma |
| Protective immune response that is triggered by any type of injury/irritant | Inflammation |
| Signs and symptoms of inflammation | D CTRL Dolor (pain) Calor (heat) Tumor (swelling) Rubor (redness) Loss of function |
| Refers to invasion of microorganisms into tissues that can cause cell or tissue injury | Infection |
| Overgrowth in response to some type of stimulus | Hyperplasia |
| AKA Tumors - Swelling | Neoplasms |
| TRUE or FALSE All tumors are neoplasms | FALSE |
| Overconsumption or underconsumption of nutrients | Nutritional Imbalance |
| Inadequate nutrient intake | Malnutrition |
| Ill, thin, wasted appearance of individual | Cachexia |
| Overconsumption of nutrients and lack of exercise | Obesity |
| Change in tissue lining | Metaplasia |
| 2 ways the immune system protects the body | 1. Inflammatory response - leukocytes play a vital role in killing foreign invaders 2. Specific Ag-Ab reaction |
| Type I hypersensitivity Allergens (house dust, grass, perfumes, insect bites) | Allergy |
| Body's lymphocytes cannot identify the body's own self Ag which are harmless. Type III hypersensitivity | Autoimmunity |
| Decrease or absence of lymphocytes Decrease in CD4 | Immunodeficiency |
| Types of disease | INIP Infectious Non-infectious Idiopathic disease Psychosomatic |
| Type of disease making use of pathogens (Bacteria, Fungi, Virus, Protozoa) | Infectious |
| Non-transmissible / Non-communicable diseases | Non-infectious |
