FTCC FSE214 Pathology MidtermThe study of changes in the structure of the body that are readily seen with the unaided eye as
a result of disease - ANS-Gross Pathology
Also known as microscopic pathology, this is the study of microscopic changes that cells,
tissues, and organs undergo as a result of disease. The microscopic study of diseased tissues -
ANS-Histo-Pathology
Deals with the specific features of disease in relation to particular organs or organ systems,
which is why special pathology is also referred to as "systematic pathology" - ANS-Special
Pathology
The study of disease by means of body secretions, excretions, and other body fluids in the
diagnosis of disease - ANS-Clinical Pathology
The study of changes in body function due to disease - ANS-Physiological Pathology
Deals with determining the cause of death by examining a corpse - ANS-Forensic Pathology
Prefixes meaning tissue - ANS-Histo-
Prefixes meaning disease - ANS-Patho-
Prefixes meaning blood - ANS-Hemo-
Prefixes meaning blood. The variant "haem-" is used outside the U.S. - ANS-Hema-
visible to the naked eye; consisting of large particles or components; coarse or large -
ANS-Gross
founded on actual observation and treatment of patients as distinguished from data or facts
obtained from other sources; pertaining to a clinic - ANS-Clinical
the study of - ANS--ology
Bleeding pertaining to the entire digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus -
ANS-Gastrointestinal bleed
A common condition in which acid from the stomach (gastric and/or duodenal) flows back into
the esophagus, causing discomfort and, in some instances, damage to the esophageal lining -
ANS-Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
, Narrowing of the coronary arteries, usually as a result of atherosclerosis - stenoses within the
coronary circulation most commonly occur in people who smoke or who have diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, adverse lipid profiles, or a familiar predisposition to coronary heart disease. -
ANS-Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
A form of diabetes mellitus in which there is a combination of insulin resistance, incretin
dysfunction, and abnormal hepatic gluconeogenesis - typically develops in adults, but it may
also be seen in adolescence; usually there is insulin production sufficient to prevent diabetic
ketoacidosis. - ANS-Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2)
An abnormal accumulation of tissue fluid in the interstitial spaces due to the removal of lymph
nodes or to the blockage or destruction of lymphatics - stagnant flow of tissue fluid through body
structures may make them prone to infections that are difficult to treat - most common causes of
lymphedema include neoplastic obstruction of lymphatic flow (as in the axilla, in metastatic
breast cancer); postoperative interference with lymphatic flow (after axillary dissection);
infectious blockade of lymphatics; radiation damage. - ANS-Lymphedema
The constriction or narrowing of a passage or orifice in the liver - ANS-Hepatic stenosis
A chronic blood-borne hepatitis believed to affect roughly 3.2 million people in the US. Formerly
known as non-A, non-B hepatitis - Caused by a single-stranded RNA virus transmitted from
person to person by exposure to blood or body fluids. - ANS-Hepatitis C
A sudden, significant decrease in the filtration capabilities of the kidneys and, within hours or
days, an increase in the levels of creatinine and other waste products in the systemic
circulation. ARF occurs in approximately 5% of all patients admitted to hospitals. Often results
from accidents (severe burns or trauma) that cause large losses in body fluid. When ARF is the
result of a decrease in blood volume without kidney damage, the condition can often be quickly
and completely reversed. When the kidneys have been injured, however, they must heal if the
ARF is to resolve. - ANS-Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
Liver failure - ANS-Hepatic failure
An embolism occurring from the blockage of blood flow to the tissues is ischemia.
An embolism occurring from death of tissues distal to the blockage is an infarction. - ANS-How
does an infection differ from ischemia?
A hemorrhage is the escape of blood from the blood vascular system.
Gangrene is necrosis (death of tissue), usually resulting from deficient or absent blood supply. -
ANS-How does gangrene differ from a hemorrhage?
The most common form of arteriosclerosis, marked by cholesterol-lipid-calcium deposits in the
walls of arteries that may restrict blood flow. - ANS-Atherosclerosis
