disease, and identifiable group of signs and symptoms, constant anatomic alterations



What are some etiologic agents that cause disease? - Correct Answer Biologic agents(bacteria, virus,

Define Acquired timing of etiologic agents? - Correct Answer disease is caused by events AFTER
BIRTH. (ex: result of genetic predisposition combined with exposure to a different etiologic agent-
asthma(genetic and exposure to certain mites)



Define pathogenesis? - Correct Answer the sequence of cellular or tissue events that take place in
time from the initial contact with the etiologic agent until the ultimate expressions of a disease or
the development of the disease. IT IS THE PATTERN OF PROGRESSION. EX: Atherosclerosis(coronary
artery disease)



Define morphology? - Correct Answer refers to fundamental structure(how something looks) of cells
tissues or organs.

the body

Systemic-widely distributed through out the body.



Where are the distributions of lesions within a tissue or an organ may be? - Correct Answer Focal-
distinct sites of damage
