AAMI Intro to Pathology Final Exam Questions
And Correct Answers, Over 500 Questions. 100%
Pathology
the branch of medicine that studies the characteristics, causes and effects of disease
Etiology
the study of all factors that may be involved in the development of disease. cause of the
disease
Pathogenesis
manner in which disease(s) develop.
changes effects treatment
Pathology includes etiology, pathogenesis, BLANK and final BLANK that take place in
the body as a result of disease. It does not, however, consider BLANK of disease.
Pathological Anatomy
the study of structural changes in the body brought about as a result of disease
Gross Pathology
Microscopic Pathology (Histopathology)
2 Branches of Pathological Anatomy
Gross Pathology
a branch of pathological anatomy that studies the structural changes brought about by
disease as seen with the naked eye.
Microscopic Pathology (Histopathology)
a branch of pathological anatomy that studies the structural changes brought about by
disease and is seen with a microscope.
Surgical Pathology
Clinical Pathology
Physiological Pathology
Micro-Legal (Forensic) Pathology
General Pathology
Special Pathology
Divisions of Pathological Anatomy
Surgical Pathology
the study of tissues that have been removed surgically. This is done on a living tissue.
Biopsy
Example of Surgical Pathology
Clinical Pathology
the study of excretions, secretions, and various other body fluids for the purpose of
diagnosing a disease. Basically, it is the laboratory diagnosis of disease.
excretions secretions laboratory
Clinical Pathology is the study of BLANK, BLANK, and various other body fluids for the
purpose of diagnosing a disease. Basically, it is the BLANK diagnosis of disease.
Clinical Pathology Examples
blood tests
urine analysis
,pap smears
serology/immunopatholgy (the examination of body proteins)
Physiological Pathology
studies the changes in function brought about by disease or changes in function during
a disease.
function
Physiological Pathology studies the changes in BLANK brought about by disease or
changes in function during a disease.
Micro-Legal (Forensic) Pathology
a branch of pathology that deals with studies for legal purpose.
General Pathology
the study of the general processes of disease such as inflammation, necrosis and cell
death. It deals with the body as a whole without reference to any particular organ or
system.
Forensic Pathology Examples
autopsies
necropsies
post mortem examination
removal of specimens from the dead
Special Pathology
studies disease in relation to a particular organ system.
Autopsy
the postmortem (after death) examination of the organs and tissues of a body to
determine the cause or death or pathological condition.
Necropsy
Postmortem Exam
2 Additional Terms for Autopsy
Confirm Diagnosis (Treatment)
Advance Research
Determine ID and Cause of Death
3 Purposes for Autopsies
Disease
a disturbance in the structure or function or both of the cells, tissues or organs. the
abnormal performance of certain physiologic functions. a dynamic series of changes
that may end in: recovery; permanent injury or even death.
function cells abnormal physiological
Disease is a disturbance in the structure or BLANK or both of the BLANK, tissues or
organs, the BLANK performance of certain BLANK functions, and a dynamic series of
changes that may end in: recovery; permanent injury or even death.
Recovery
Permanent Injury
Death
3 Results of Having a Disease
Doctrine of Cellular Pathology
,the structural changes of disease may be found in the cells of a sick organ. In other
words, if a tissue or organ is infected or sick, then the cells of the tissue will also be
infected and sick!
Dr. Rudolf Virchow
the "father" of cellular pathology who created the Doctrine of Cellular Pathology
Lesion
any recognizable change in anatomy or structure of the tissues that can be caused by
disease. It is a pathologic change in an organ or tissue.
Diagnosis
the determination of the nature and cause of a disease. The identification of a disease
or condition by scientific evaluation of signs and symptoms, history, lab results and
procedures.
Prognosis
The predicted outcome of a disease
Symptoms
Subjective complaints experienced by the patient. They are not directly measurable.
Examples would be: pain, dizziness, itching.
Signs
These are objective, measurable manifestations of a disease. These can be measured
or detected. Examples: fever, blood pressure, abnormal pulse or respiratory rate.
Syndrome
a group of symptoms or signs which usually appear together to indicate the presence of
a particular disease.
Exacerbation
An increase in the severity of the signs and symptoms of a disease.
Complication
refers to any unfavorable condition which occurs during the course of a disease.
Remission (Abatement)
A temporary cessation (stopping) of the manifestations.
Congenital Disease
exists at the time of birth due to a developmental error, as a result of maternal infection,
and having no genetic origin.
Acquired Disease
one that is acquired after birth.
Recurrent Disease
comes back or recurs; usually describes diseases which show alternating increases and
decreases in their symptoms.
Hereditary Disease
one pertaining to a characteristic, condition or disease transmitted from parent to
offspring. It is associated with a genetic disorder or chromosomal defect.
Febrile Disease
Any disease characterized by fever.
Idiopathic Disease
is one of unknown origin. Example: cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis.... .
although there are theories as to the possible cause of these diseases.
Acute Disease
, has a rapid onset and short duration. Example acute tuberculosis; pneumonia.
Chronic Disease
has a slower onset and a long duration. Example arthritis.
Occupational Disease
occurs as a result of unfavorable work conditions. EX:
Anthracosis or Black Lung Disease is caused by the inhalation of coal dust and
Silicosis; caused by the inhalation of silica.
Deficiency Disease
is brought about due to the absence or lack of an essential vitamin or mineral. Example:
rickets (lack of Vitamin D) or goiter (lack in iodine).
Intoxicating Disease (Intoxication)
one that is brought about by the excess intake of any substance that can cause a state
of poisoning. You are basically "poisoned" by a drug or toxic substance.
Iatrogenic Disease
one which results from a physician's treatment of a patient; any adverse condition in a
patient resulting from treatment by a physician or surgeon.
Fulminating Disease
Latin root meaning lighting flash. In regards to a disease or condition, it refers to rapid,
sudden and severe. It is often fatal.
Infectious Disease
one that is capable of causing an infection. A disease caused by the invasion of the
body by a pathogenic microorganism.
Allergies
a hypersensitive reaction to a common, harmless antigen, most of which are
environmental. This is an acquired immune response.
Contagious Disease
s one that is easily transmitted from person to person either directly or indirectly.
Infestation
refers to the presence of macroscopic (can be seen with the unaided eye) organisms in
or on the body, such as animal parasites.
Organic Disease
has a readily identifiable characteristic lesion associated with it such as swollen glands,
ulcerations during syphilis; inflammation of the mucous membranes of strep throat.
Some lesion exists.
Functional Disease
has no such characteristic lesion when they occur, such as a migraine headache or
various mental disturbances called psychoses. No lesion exists; no anatomical or
structural change.
Nosocomial
pertains to a hospital. Often refers to infection. i.e. (hospital acquired) infection.
Prevalence
Refers to the number of new and old cases of a disease during a particular period.
Mortality Rate
the number of deaths per unit of population.
Morbidity Rate
refers to the number of cases of disease per unit of population.
