Study Notes
Pathophysiology and Health
- Pathophysiology deals with the functional changes occurring in the body as a result of a disease or medical condition.
- Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease.
Characteristics and Etiology of Disease
- Disease is characterized by a specific set of signs and symptoms that interfere with normal bodily functions.
- Etiology refers to the cause or origin of a disease, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Pathology
- Pathology is the study of the nature and causes of diseases, focusing on the structural and functional changes they produce in tissues and organs.
Hypertrophy
- Pathological hypertrophy occurs as a result of disease conditions, such as heart disease, where the heart muscle enlarges.
- The result of hypertrophy is an increase in cell size, which can enhance the organ's ability to perform its function initially, but may lead to dysfunction over time.
- Hypertrophy occurs in various types of cells, particularly in muscle cells, including cardiac and skeletal muscle.
Types of Hypertrophy
- An example of physiologic hypertrophy is the enlargement of skeletal muscles in response to regular exercise or weight training.
- Adaptation to stress that allows cells to modulate their structure and function to escape injury is known as hypertrophic adaptation.
