define pathology

study of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues and organs of the body

define physiology

study of the functions of the human body

define pathophysiology

define etiology

the cause of something

what is the start of most diseases

cellular injury

physical forces that cause injury

mechanical forces ex) ankle sprain

extremes of temperature ex) necrosis

electrical forces ex) cardiac (internal) external -> electricity

radiation injury

,ionizing radiation : chernobyl, nuclear, kind when have cancer

non-ionizing radiation : microwaves, radiowaves, cellular

ultraviolet radiation : sunscreen

UV B vs UV A

no identifiable cellular change that results in tissue abnormalities ex) appendix is

functional issue

manifestation

to present or show itself

signs and symptoms

signs: objective findings gathered during an assessment

symptoms: subjective findings gathered during the H&P

diagnosis and classification types

acute

disease of sudden onset which runs a severe but short course

subacute

intermediate nature : related to acute

chronic
