diagnosis
a model in which the causes and the effects are all chemical or physical changes
mechanistic paradigm
cause --> effect

the process in which physicians are presented with a effect (dysfunction) and must infer the cause

a form of negative feedback in which the product of a reaction down regulated an upstream reaction
product inhibition
model that describes the purpose served by the bodily response and implies (inappropriately) that this purpose causes the response
teleology
from the air to a rbc list the boundary layers and fluid spaces an O2 molecule would cross
1.) alveolar epithelium
2.) interstitial fluid (basement membrane)
3.) capilary endothelium
4.) plasma
5.)RBC
cause always precedes the effect
temporality
when one event influences the magnitude of an earlier event in the same sequence
feedback
counteracts the consequence of a disturbance- leads to compensation, stabiliy, return to normal
negative feedback
exaggerates the consequence of a disturbance- leads to decompensation (going toward an extreme), which may or may not be desirable
positive feedback
when a "side-branch' in a cause-and-effect sequence influences the magnitude of a subsequent event in the same sequence
feed-forward
breakdown of aveolar walls

neurotransmission
a types of signalling in which the secreted signal (hormone) is carried cia blood stream and acts on distant cells
