Anatomy Physiology and disease
Health professionals speak a foreign language (med term)
Anatomy
study of internal and external structures of human body
complex and amazing to understand it and put it together
focuses on structures how something is put together
would be study of structure of RBC's
Physiology
focuses on function and process of structures that make up human body
closely related to anatomy because it functions and its based on its structures
deals with all vital processes
study of how different structures work together to make body function as whole
would be study of how RBC's carry vital oxygen throughout body
sub specialties of physiology
human physiology
animal physiology
cellular physiology
neurophysiology
Disease
condition in which body fails to function normally
pathology
study of disease characteristics causes and effects
pathophysiology
study of abnormal body function
Etiology
cause disease is important to determine
nosocomial
acquired in hospital
epidemiology
study of transmission frequency of occurrence, distribution and control of disease
communicable
those that have potential to be spread from person to person
contagious
transmitted from one person to another
endemic
occur in specific population or region
epidemic
occur in large numbers over specific region
pandemic
worldwide
metabolism
refers to chemical operations within body
requires nutrients
produces waste products
all life sustaining reactions within body
Anabolism
building up of compounds and using them for growth
Catabolism
breaking down into simpler substances
Homeostasis
for body to remain alive, it needs to constantly be monitored to internal and external environment and make adjustments
physiological process
monitors and maintains stable environment
Hypothalamus in brain uses negative feedback loop to control body temperature and maintain homeostasis
Positive feedback loop
increase magnitude of change versus resisting change
does not maintain homeostasis
signs
objective, measurable indicators of illness
Vital signs
signs vital to life and can have different normal values according to age and sex
pulse
temp
blood pressure
respiratory rate
symptoms
subjective, indicators of illness that are perceived only by patient
pain
dizziness
itchiness
syndrome
specific grouping of signs and symptoms related to specific diseases
diagnosis
identification of disease determined by studying patient signs, symptoms, history and results of diagnostic test
Prognosis
prediction of outcome of disease
Acute
rapid onset of signs and symptoms
Chronic
gradual onset of signs and symptoms
Remission
period of time when signs and symptoms of chronic disease disappear
Relapse
recurrence of disease
Terminal
one with prognosis of death
Body barriers
first line of defense
Immune response
kicks in if pathogens get past barriers
Vector
disease transmitted insects
Biological vector
infected insect spreads infection to spread
Mechanical vector
organism present on surface of insect spread to person
direct contact
person becomes sick due to direct contact with contagious body fluids
Indirect contact
contact by contaminated object
Common vehicles
consumable good become contaminated
airborne
droplets containing pathogens spread through air
