100
What is Pathophysiology?
The study of biological function during states of disease or dysfunction
100
What is Homeostasis?
Remaining stable while staying the same
100
What is Atrophy?
Cells shrink and reduce their differentiated functions in response to normal and injurious factors
100
What is cellular necrosis?
Irreversible damage resulting in cellular death.
100
What is General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
Three stages; Alarm, Resistance/Adaptation, and Exhaustion.
200
What is Etiology?
The study of what causes a disease process, where disease originates, includes causative agents.
200
What is Adaptation?
biopsychosocial process of change in response to new or altered circumstances, internal or external in origin
200
What is Hypertrophy?
Increase in cell mass accompanied by an augmented functional capacity in response to physiologic and pathophysiologic demands
200
What is Apoptosis?
Programmed cell death.
200
What is exhaustion
The point where the body can no longer return to homeostasis.
300
What is Clinical Manifestations?
Measurable/ observable changes brought on by the disease process
300
What are Risk Factors?
Not stressors, but conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of encountering a stressor
300
What is Hyperplasia?
Increase in functional capacity related to an increase in cell number due to mitotic division
300
What is Hydropic Swelling?
First manifestation of most reversible cell injury, cellular
swelling due to the accumulation.
300
What are stressors
Agents or conditions that can produce stress; endanger homeostasis.
400
What is Treatment Implications?
The process of knowing the steps to provide care for a patient and acknowledging the possible outcomes of a treatment
400
What is Necrosis?
Usually occurs as a consequence of ischemia or toxic injury
400
What is Metaplasia?
Replacement of one differentiated cell type with another
400
What is Cellular Ischemia?
Cellular injury resulting from lack of oxygen.
400
What is norepinepherine
Constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure, reduces gastric secretions, and increases night and far vision.
500
What is Allostatic Overload?
inadequate adaptation mechanisms or excessive allostatic load; results in inability to maintain homeostasis

500
What is Dry Gangrene?
Form of coagulative necrosis characterized by blackened, dry, wrinkled tissue separated by a line of demarcation from healthy tissue
500
What is Dysplasia?
Disorganized appearance of cells because of abnormal variations in size, shape and arrangement
500
What is Coagulative Liquefative, Fat Necrosis, and Caseous Necrosis?
Four types of Cellular Necrosis.
500
What is cortisol
Primary glucocorticoid, affects protein metabolism, promotes appetite and food-seeking behaviors, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
