What is the meaning of normal range as it relates to medical tests?
Data-pop" wout disease

What is the relationship between test specificity and sensitivity?

Test
sensitivity ability
: test to be positive In the presence of disease (tre in 99/100) 99% sensitive
Have aninverse relationship -

we start w/sensitive test then move to specific test

What is usually the goal of treatment?
To mimic state of homeostasis back to homeostasis
or
get

What is healthy?
When someone is in a state of homeostasis

-

does not mean absence of disease ,
but
disease is maintained way that
being in a

allows the body to mimic homeostatic levels

, Do structural and functional disorders have the same treatment? Explain
Structural disorder : anatomic pathology they require different treatments

Explain how the following maintain homeostasis:
