Hypertension is one example.

Underlying cause of disease

Examples:
Lack of some vitamin
An allergy to pollen from a tree
Amoeba swimming in digestive tract

Front 9

Define PATHOGENESIS

Do you remember examples from SSL's song?

Back 9

Developmental process or altered physiology that leads to disease;

Examples:
Binding of glucose to nerves
Crenation of cells to form burr
ROS may cause a change

Front 10

Define MORPHOLOGY

Can you remember examples from SSL's song?

Back 10

structural alterations that we can see in tissues (gross and microscopic); histopathology

Examples:
expanding knee girth, flame hemorrhages in eye, giant cells in granuloma's core

Front 11

Define FUNCTIONAL DERANGEMENTS

Back 11

signs and symptoms that we see as a result of pathology & morphology

Front 12

Define HOMEOSTASIS

Back 12

desire for system to keep things in balance

Front 13

Define MORBIDITY

Back 13

# of people that have certain disease in a specific population

Front 14

Define MORTALITY

Back 14

# of people in a specific population that die from a disease

Front 15

Define IATROGENIC

Back 15

disease induced by treatment, doctor or health care

Front 16

Define IDIOPATHIC

Back 16

Unknown origin of a condition;
Otherwise known as "refer to a Naturopathic Physician"

Front 17

Define SIGNS

Give some examples

Back 17

Objective things that can be measured.

Examples: blood pressure, temperature, respirations,

Front 18

Define SYMPTOMS

Give some examples

Back 18

Subjective experiences

Examples: itching, fatigue, feeling hot or cold

Front 19

SERUM or TISSUES....which is cleaner?
Which would you rather get a sample from (would tell you more)?

Back 19

SERUM: is cleaner, more in homeostasis, like the front room of your house

TISSUE: is like the back bathroom, will tell you more about what is really going on
