|
What is Pathophysiology?
The study of biological function during states of disease or dysfunction
|
Homeostasis
Remaining stable while staying the same
|
What is Atrophy?
Cells shrink and reduce their differentiated functions in response to normal and injurious factors
|
What is Cellular Necrosis?
Irreversible damage resulting in cellular death.
|
Three stages; Alarm, Resistance/Adaptation, and Exhaustion.
What is General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
|
|
What is Etiology?
The study of what causes a disease process, where disease originates, includes causative agents.
|
What is Adaptation?
biopsychosocial process of change in response to new or altered circumstances, internal or external in origin
|
What is Hypertrophy?
Increase in cell mass accompanied by an augmented functional capacity in response to physiologic and pathophysiologic demands
|
What is Apoptosis?
Programmed Cellular Death.
|
The point where the body can no longer return to homeostasis.
What is exhaustion
|
|
What is Clinical Manifestations?
Measurable/ observable changes brought on by the disease process
|
What are Risk Factors?
Not stressors, but conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of encountering a stressor
|
What is Hyperplasia?
Increase in functional capacity related to an increase in cell number due to mitotic division
|
What is Hydropic Swelling?
First manifestation of most reversible cell injury, cellular
swelling due to the accumulation. |
Agents or conditions that can produce stress; endanger homeostasis.
What are stressors
|
|
What is Treatment Implications?
The process of knowing the steps to provide care for a patient and acknowledging the possible outcomes of a treatment
|
What is Necrosis?
Usually occurs as a consequence of ischemia or toxic injury
|
What is Metaplasia?
Replacement of one differentiated cell type with another
|
Constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure, reduces gastric secretions, and increases night and far vision.
What is norepinepherine
|
|
|
What is Allostatic Overload?
inadequate adaptation mechanisms or excessive allostatic load; results in inability to maintain homeostasis
|
What is Dry Gangrene?
Form of coagulative necrosis characterized by blackened, dry, wrinkled tissue separated by a line of demarcation from healthy tissue
|
What is Dysplasia?
Disorganized appearance of cells because of abnormal variations in size, shape and arrangement
|
Primary glucocorticoid, affects protein metabolism, promotes appetite and food-seeking behaviors, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
What is cortisol
