pathology chapter 2 : introduction to pathology

infectious, nutritional, chemical and physical changes refers to

acquired etiology

what is general pathology ?

concerned with the common reaction of cells and tissues to injurious stimuli, often not tissue specific

what do you call the cause of the disease ?

etiology

what are the four aspects of a disease process that form the core of pathology

etiology pathogenesis morphologic changes clinical manifestations

what is systemic pathology ?

examines the alterations and underlying mechanisms in organ specific diseases

which subtype of pathology is concerned with the common reaction of cells and tissues to injurious stimuli, often not tissue specific

general pathology

list the classes of etiology

genetic acquired

inherited mutations and disease-associated gene variants , or polymorphisms refers to

genetic etiology

what is the difference between genetic and acquired etiology

genetic: inherited mutations and disease-associated gene variants, or polymorphisms acquired: infectious, nutritional ,chemical and physical changes

what is refer to the structural alterations in cells or tissue that are either characteristic of a disease or diagnostic of an etiologic process ( a diagnostic corner stone with limitations)

morphologic changes

what refers to the sequence of cellular biochemical ,and molecular events that follow the exposure of cells or tissues to an injurious agent

pathogenesis

what is the name give to the study of the structural, biochemical, and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs that underlie disease. It serves as a bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine and is the scientific foundation for all of medicine

pathology

what are morphologic changes

refer to the structural alterations in cells or tissue that are either characteristic of a disease or diagnostic of an etiologic process ( a diagnostic corner stone with limitations)

what is pathogenesis

refers to the sequence of cellular biochemical ,and molecular events that follow the exposure of cells or tissues to an injurious agent ( on of the main domain of pathology)

who is know as the father of modern pathology ?

rudolf virchow

which subtype of pathology examines the alterations and underlying mechanisms in organ specific diseases

systemic pathology

what is etiology ?

the cause of the disease

who is rudolf virchow and what is he know for ?

the father of modern pathology

what is pathology ?

the study of the structural, biochemical, and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs that underlie disease. It serves as a bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine and is the scientific foundation for all of medicine

how do virtually all diseases start

with molecular or structural alterations in cells
