Pathophysiology (PATHOPHYSIOLOGY)

Module 1 pathophysiologyWhat is the definition of "pathophysiology"? Pathophysiology is defined as not only the cellular and organ changes that occur with disease, but also the effects that these changes have on total body function. Name the 5 etiologic factors and give an example if listed. 1.Biologic agents (bacteria, viruses) 2. physical forces (trauma, burns, radiation), cal agents (poisons, alcohol) 4. one’s genetic inheritance, tional excesses or deficiencies. ...
