Study Notes
Inflammation and Pathogenesis
- Inflammation is a complex biological response of the body's tissues to harmful stimuli, such as injury, infection, or damage.
Causes of Inflammation
- Examples of non-living agents that can cause inflammation include: • Chemical irritants • Radiation • Extreme temperatures
Pathogenesis
- Pathogenesis refers to the process by which a disease develops and progresses.
Science of Disease Reaction
- The science that studies the reaction of cells and tissues to disease is called pathology.
Causes of Disease
- The two main causes of disease mentioned are: • Infection • Injury
Test your knowledge of pathology with this quiz covering general and special responses of cells and tissues to disease, disease etiology, pathogenesis, and structural changes. See how well you understand the science of suffering and the specific responses of organs to different disease causes and mechanisms.
