Hereditary
involves chromosomnl or DNA mutation, is passed down
Congenital
deficiency or injury during gestation/ present at birth
Infectious
exposure to pathogenic organisms
Metabolic
disruption of normal chemical reactions
Nutritional deficiency
insufficient quantities of nutrients such as essential amino avids, minerals or vitamins
Degenerative
progressive deterioration of a tissue
Neoplastic
involves abnormal cell growth
Immunologic
dysfunction of normal immune responses
Iatrogenic
resulting as a complication of medical treatment
Psychogenic
influenced by psychological factors
Idiopathic
pertaining to disease of unknown origin
Atrophy
decrease in cell size
Hypertrophy
increase in cell size
Hyperplasia
increase in number of cells
Dysplasia
deranged cellular growth, not a true admptive state, is atypical hyperplasia
Metaplasia
replacement of one type of cell with another (change in cell type)
Hypoxia
lack at oxygen due to ischemia (low blood supply)
Necrosis
Cell death due to disease or chemical injury (dense dumping of DNA and disruption of plasma and organelle membranes)
Autolysis
cellular self - digestion
Coagulative
due to hypoxin; protein denaturation (Albumin hardens); occurs in kidneys, heart, and adrenal glands
Liquefactive
ischemic injury to brain neurons; cells become digested by their own enzymes
Caseous
pulmonary infection (usually tuberculosis ); dead cells disintegrate but leave cellular debris (clumped cheese)
Fat
lipases destroy cells; breast, pancreas, abdomen
Gangrenous
severe hypoxin and bacterial infection lex. gas gangrene cauved by clostridium)
Apoptosis
programmed cell death
Systemic Disease
disease affecting the whole body system
Incidence
occurrence or influence
Prevelance
The percentage of a population that exhibits a disorder during a specified time period.
Pandemic
Disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects a very high proportion of the population.
Epidemic
a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time.
Pathogenesis
the origination and development of a disease
Prognosis
the foretelling of a course of a disease
Etiology
cause of disease
Complication
A secondary disease/condition that develops in the course of a primary disease/condition.
Edema
Abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in connective tissues.
Exacerbations
flaring of symptoms (becoming more severe)
Remission
improvement or absence of signs of disease
Sequela
the negative aftermath of a disease
Benign
a mild type that does not threaten the health or life of a patient
Karyolysis
dissolution of nucleus
Oncosis
Cell death with swelling (occurs before necrosis)
Fatty infiltration
infiltration of the tissue of an organ with excess amounts of fat
Relapse
recurrence of an illness/disease/condition
Nosocomial
acquired or occurring in a hospital
Acute
Sudden/onset/short duration
Chronic
suffering from a disease for a long period of time
Free radicals
they are electrically uncharged atoms w/ and unpaired electron.
