Pathology
Pathologic Terms
 Morphology - The structure of cells or tissue

 Pathologic conditions may cause


morphologic changes that alter normal body
tissues in a variety of ways.
Pathologic Terms
 Subtractive, lytic, or destructive
 Thisoccurs when tissue composition is altered
by a decrease in the atomic number of the
tissue or the compactness of the cells or by
changes in tissue thickness, for example,
atrophy from limited use.
 require a decrease in the exposure technique.
Pathologic Terms
 Atrophy - decrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue
Pathologic Terms
 Additive or sclerotic
 Conversely, some pathologic conditions cause
an increase in the normal density of a tissue,
resulting in a higher atomic number or increased
compactness of cells.
 require an increase in the exposure technique.
 Example: Hypertrophy
Pathologic Terms
 Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of cells (or tissues) in
response to various stimuli.
Pathologic Terms
 Epidemiology is the investigation of disease
in large groups.
 Prevalenceof a given disease refers to the
number of cases found in a given population
 The incidence of disease refers to the
number of new cases found in a given
period.
Pathologic Terms
 Endemic - Diseases of high prevalence in an area
where a given causative organism is commonly found
 Endemic - describes a disease that is constantly
present in a certain geographic area or in a certain
group of people.
 Forexample, histoplasmosis is a fungal disease of
the respiratory system endemic to the Ohio and
Mississippi River valleys.
Pathologic Terms
 Pandemic - is a disease outbreak that spreads across countries
or continents.
 Pandemic - High prevalence of a disease over a large area

 Epidemic - is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of


patients among a given population within an area in a short period
of time.
 Epidemic – A sudden, widespread occurrence of a disease
 Epidemic – an outbreak of disease that spreads quickly and
affects many individuals at the same time
DISEASE
CLASSIFICATIONS
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS
Diseases present at birth and resulting from
genetic or environmental factors are termed
congenital
It is estimated that 2% to 3% of all infants
born live have one or more congenital
abnormalities, although some of these may
not be visible until a year or so after birth.
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS
 Cleft Lip And Cleft Palate
Examples:
Cleft lip is a birth defect in which a
baby's upper lip doesn’t form
completely and has an opening in it.

Cleft palate is a birth defect in which


a baby's palate (roof of the mouth)
doesn't form completely and has an
opening in it.
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS
 Hereditarydiseases are caused by
developmental disorders genetically transmitted
from either parent to a child through
abnormalities of individual genes in
chromosomes and are derived from ancestors.
Example:
Hemophilia is usually an inherited bleeding
disorder in which the blood does not clot properly.
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS
 Degenerative diseases are caused by
deterioration of the body.
Although they are usually associated with the
aging process, some degenerative conditions may
exist in younger patients.
For instance, an individual may develop a
degenerative disease following a traumatic injury,
regardless of age.
Example : Osteoporosis
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS

Metabolic disease, any of the diseases or


disorders that disrupt normal metabolism
Example : Diabetes mellitus refers to a
group of diseases that affect how the body
uses blood sugar (glucose).
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS

 Neoplasticdisease results in new, abnormal


tissue growth.
 Neoplastic
diseases are conditions that cause
tumor growth.
Example: Lymphomas refers to types of cancer
that begin in the lymphatic system
DISEASE CLASSIFICATIONS

 Immunologic diseases – this occurs when


some of our immunologic defenses attack
our own bodies.
These diseases are also called autoimmune
diseases.
Example: Rheumatoid arthritis
