Questions and Answers

what is pathology and the different types?

Pathology is the study of diseases and mainly focuses on the cause, structure, and function. The two different types are general and systemic. General covers the reactions of cells and tissues to harmful stimuli. System covers the changes and mechanisms for organs in certain disease.

What is etiology and the different types?

etiology is the origin of the disease that’s shows the cause and factors. The two different types are genetic and aquired. Genetic is from inherited mutations and polymorphism. Aquired is caused by other triggers such as infectious, chemical, physical, nutritional, and multifactional

what is Pathogenesis?

Pathogenesis is the development of the disease. It is the sequence of cellular, biochemical, molecular events that cause damage

what is homeostasis?

what are the three main ways cells respond to stress?

Adaptations: changes that cell makes to deal with stress without doing damage. reverse injury: structural & functional issues that can be fixed if the injurious agent is removed. cell death: end r result of injury, usually necrosis or apoptosis Signup and view all the answers
