extracellular fluid and intercellular fluid and attempts to compensate. if successful homeostasis is
maintained.



Define Physiology? - Correct Answer study of homeostatic compensation



Define Disease? - Correct Answer is an interruption cessation, or disorder in the function of cells,
tissues, organ or organ system



Disease is characterized by what? - Correct Answer recognized etiologic agents that CAUSE the
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,
or parasitic worm or insect)

Physical forces(burns, crush, radiation)

Chemical agents(poison, toxin)

Molecular(not always, but often genetic:cystic fibrosis)

Multifactoral(mulitple etiologic agents involved;MOST DISEASES)

fibrosis, sickle cell anemia)

may be due to mother being exposed during preg(infected mother with german measles causes baby
to have deafness, cataracts and heart disease)



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.



Define Morphologic changes? - Correct Answer are gross anatomic or microscopic changes
characteristic of a particular disease. ex: LESIONS



Where are distributions of lesions within the body? - Correct Answer Local-confined to one area of
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

Diffuse-damage is more widely distributed(fatty deposits)
