Pathology Analysis

pathology

the study of the changes of structure and function of the tissues of the body as a result of disease is

general pathology

branch of pathology dealing with the body as a whole, without regard to any particular organ or system is

special pathology

division of pathology that deals with individual body organs or systems is

clinical pathology

branch pf pathology dealing with the various laboratory tests on body fluids and tissues that are used in making a diagnosis is

surgical pathology

division of pathology that deals with tissues that have been removed from a patient during surgery is called

hematemesis

expulsion of blood of a gastric origin from the mouth

predisposing conditions

conditions that make a body more susceptible to disease without actually causing it are called

occupational disease

coal dust deposited in the lungs of miners would be an example of an

suppuration

the formation of pus is a process called

furuncle

the pathological term for a boil is

adhesions

term that represents a common complication of healing is

regeneration

replacement of destroyed tissue with the exact same kind of tissue is a process called

hyperplasia

controlled enlargement of a body organ or part due to an increase in the number of its component cells describes

phlegmon

acute diffuse inflammation of subcutaneous connective tissue describes

hemorrhage

the escape of blood from the vascular system is called

plethora

more than the normal total volume of blood in the body is a condition known as

thrombus

a blood clot that has formed within the heart or a blood vessel during life is referred to as a

ischemia

decreased blood flow to a body part is a condition called

fragments of thrombi, bacteria, and tumor cells

an embolus may consist of

circulatory shock

a general term used to designate the state of collapse that follows severe tissue injury

infarct

an area of necrotic tissue that results from a faulty blood supply to the area is called an

endogenois pigmentation

melanin bears a relationship to

an actual cause

an exciting cause of disease

race

may be considered a predisposing factor of disease

pathological atrophy

shrinkage of muscle following paralysis /

enlargement of the heart to offset a valvular defect are examples of

physiological atrophy

shrinkage of the uterus after menopause /

enlargement of breasts during lactation are examples of

melena

action of gastro-intestinal secretions upon blood in the digestive tract causes the formation of very dark, tarry feces or vomitus known as

inflammation

a pathological condition that has a protective function

fistula

an abnormal channel connecting two surfaces is called a

ulcer

an area of necrosis in which dead cells are sloughed from a free surface is called an

anasarca

generalized edema of the subcutaneous tissue is called

passive hyperemia

accumulation of blood in a part due to venous obstruction is called

active hyperemia

increased arterial circulation leading to congestion of blood is called

ischemia

arterial thrombosis may cause

gangrene

venous thrombosis may cause

disease of the blood vessels, sluggish circulation, and increased viscosity of the blood

predisposes to thrombosis

thrombosis

formulation of a blood clot attached to the wall of the heart of blood vessels is called

embolus

a foreign particle that becomes lodged in a blood vessel is called an

gangrene

may result from embolism

infarct

a mass of necrotic tissue that results from circulatory obstruction is called an

ecchymosis

a blood discoloration of the tissues as in a bruise is called an

medico-legal pathology

a branch of pathology concerned with accidents and homicides is called

diagnosis

the identification of a disease is called

prognosis

the prediction of the probable outcome of a disease is called

chronic

a disease having a slow onset and long duration is referred to as

acute

a disease having sudden onset and short duration is referred to as

abscess

a localized collection of pus in any body part, resulting from an invasion of pus-forming bacteria is called an

vesicle

a blister-like structure that contains a serous fluid is called a

embolus

a free flowing particle in the blood is called an

hemoptysis

blood in the sputum is referred to as

epistaxis

the technical term for "nose bleed"

hypertrophy

increase in the size of the cells of an organ

inflammation

the reaction of tissue to an irritant is called

ischemia

deficiency of blood in a part of the body is known as

lesion

any structural change that occurs in a disease is a

lung

the main organ involved in pneumoconiosis

necrosis

death of a localized area of tissue is a condition known as

repair

replacement of dead tissue cells with connective tissue cells is a process called

embolism

blockage of blood vessel by some foreign object floating to the site in the blood stream is called an

heart

thrombi would most likely be found in the

ischemia

pathological condition most associated with infarction is

resolution

termination of an inflammatory reaction with the return to normal of the body part would be called

abscess

circumscribed collection of pus surrounded by a wall of inflammatory tissue designates an

repair

replacement of destroyed tissue with connective tissue is called

carbuncle

union of two or more adjacent boils results in an inflammatory lesion that is called a

exudate

the thick liquid that collects around an infection site is called

blood

antibodies are to be found in the

syphilis

a gumma is a lesion of

melanoma

most likely neoplasm to cause death

hypertrophy

a disorder that does not primarily involve blood

erythrocytosis

a marked increase in the number of red blood cells is a condition referred to as

epithelioma

a malignant tumor of the epithelial tissue is called an

coronary thrombosis

myocardial infarction is likely an after-effect of

myoma

a benign tumor of muscle tissue is called a

leukocytes

it is characteristic of leukemia to be accompanied by a massive proliferation of

commonly referred to as a mole

a nevus is

secondary

a form of anemia that devolopes as a complication of another disease such as hemorrhage is identified by the term

rheumatic heart disease

a disorder believed to develop as an after effect of a severe streptococcal infection is

an angioma
