Concepts of Health and Disease
How a disease disease infects an individual after exposure
What is pathogenesis?
Decrease in cell size
What is atrophy?
Type of solution that results in cell swelling
What is a hypotonic solution?
H2CO3 in the body that can be eliminated as CO2 gas which is regulated by the lungs
What is volatile acid?
Healing process in which injured cells are replaced with cells of the same type
What is regeneration?
A sudden worsening of the symptoms of a disease or condition
What is an exacerbation?
Increace in the number of cells due to normal body function
What is physiologuc hyperplasia?
Force that pushes water out of the capillaries into the interstitial spaces
What is hydrostatic pressure?
One of the three ways the body regulates acid base balance (multiple correct answers)
What is the chemical buffer system?
What is elimination/retention of CO2 (respiratory mechanism)?
What is elimination of H+/reabsorption of HCO3- (renal mechanism)?
Three factors that affect wound healing
What is malnutrtion, oxygenation, impaired inflammatory/immune response, infection, wound seperation, or foreign bodies?
Reducing complications after the clinical diagnosis of a disease
What is tertiary prevention?
Increase in size of cells due to performing the work of destroyed tissue or paired organ
An electrolyte imbalance that is characterized by flushed skin, restlessness, hypertension, edema, and decreased urine output
What is hypernatremia?
What is respiratory acidosis?
A natural wound healing process where a wound heals from the bottom up, without surgical closure
What is secondary intention?
A condition of an unkown or poorly understood cause
What is an idiopathic condition?
The replacement of one cell type with another
What is metaplasia?
A hormone system that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, fluid balance, and electrolyte homeostasis in the body, it primarily works to increase blood pressure when it drops too low
What is the RAAS system?
Acid base imbalance that can be caused by severe vomiting, diuretic therapy, and excessive gastric suctioning
What is metabolic alkalosis?
The two major aspects of adaptive immunity that differ from innate immunity
What is memory and specificity?
The study of the microscopic structure, chemical composition, and function of tissues
What is Histology?
Programmed cell death
What is apoptosis?
An electrolyte imbalance that is characterized by arrhythmias (particularly cardiac arrest), hypotension, paresthesia, and increased GI motility.
What is hyperkalemia?
Acid base imbalance that can cause Kussmaul Respirations, muscle twitching, hypotension, and hyperkalemia
What is metabolic acidosis?
IgE binds to mast cells and basophils causing the release of histamine and resulting in immediate inflammation and itching
What is type 1 hypersensitivity (immediate hypersensitivity)?
