,What are the five essential components of pathophysiology? - Answer: 1. Etiology (Causative
mechanisms)
2. Epidemiology (risk factors and distribution in populations)
3. Pathogenesis (disease mechanism)
4. clinical manifestations (signs, symptoms and diagnostic criteria)
5. Outcomes (cure, remission, chronicity, or death)
The "why" of disease- what is the reason for it- what caused it to happen? May be simple/complex. -
Answer: etiology
Looks at the pattern of disease among groups or aggregates or populations. This component of disease
represents the relationship between numerous population characteristics (e.g. age, ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, geographic location) and the incidence and prevalence of disease. - Answer:
Epidemiology
Involves the sequence of events that occurs between the stimulus event(s) and the manifestations of
the disease. - Answer: pathogenesis
Tell an individual and their health care provider that something is wrong. e.g. Signs and symptoms -
Answer: Clinical manifestations
Are relatively easy to understand if you review their definitions (cure, remission, chronicity, or death) -
Answer: Outcomes
What are the 4 common mechanisms that characterize all cell injury and death? Give 2 examples of
each. - Answer: 1. ATP depletion- Ischemia and Anemia
2. Oxygen and oxygen-derived free radicals- Chemical and radiation injury, ischemia reperfusion injury,
microbial killing by phagocytes, and cellular aging
3. intracellular calcium and loss of calcium steady state- Ischemia and certain chemicals
, 4. Defects in membrane permeability- Certain medications that can lead to liver or kidney damage
The disease mechanism that is the basis of much of the disease today- and most of the cases involve
hypoxia. Refers to the inability of the cell to produce adequate energy to fuel normal activities of that
particular cell type (cell membrane pumps and protein synthesis) and function. - Answer: ATP depletion
A very inefficient method of ATP production (yields 2 ATP) - Answer: glycolysis
Is a very efficient method of ATP production (yields 36 ATP) - Answer: Oxidative Phosphorylation
What is the most common method of impairing oxygen and ATP production? - Answer: hypoxia
Can lead to irreversible cell injury directly through impairment of energy production in the cell. -
Answer: Ischemia
What are the cellular events that occur with ischemia-induced- hypoxic injury? - Answer: 1. The
amount of ATP production within the mitochondria declines
2. The drop in ATP causes NA-K- ATPase pump on CM to fail. Which then leads to increase in NA+,H2O,
and Ca+ in cell and decrease in K+ in cell.
3. Increase in water in cell causes cell and it's organelles to swell.
4. When RER swell it's ribosomes fall off and protein synthesis stops.
5. ATP production through phosphorylation declines and glycolysis (anaerobic metabolism) increases.
When glycolysis increases in the cell glycogen stores are depleted.
6. Glycolysis also produces lactic acid as by-product. Glycolysis also = intracellular pH decline ( the cell
functions within narrow range of pH and even slight drop can incapacitate the cell).
7. Drop in pH causes clumping of nuclear material called pyknosis. Leads to fragmentation of the nuclear
material (karyorrhexis) and then to dissolution of nuclear membrane (karyolysis). Decline in pH= rupture
of already swollen lysosomes and release of proteolytic enzymes= autodigestion of cell contents and cell
membrane.
8. Disruption of CM also increases Ca+ influx into the cell and organelles= activate proteases,
endonucleases, and phospholipases that proceed to destroy the cell.
