37
Top 3 leading causes of death in the US
1. Heart disease 2. Cancer 3. Chronic Lower respiratory diseases
38
Characteristics, conditions or diseases that can be transmitted from parent to offspring
Heredity
39
What are some risk factors of disease?
``` Age Gender Genetics Lifestyle Environment Stress ```
40
2 categories of disorders
Congenital and traumatic
41
What are a mass of cancerous cells called?
Malignant tumor or neoplasm
42
List the types of diseases
``` Degenerative disease Autoimmune disease Deficiency disease Genetic disease Metabolic disease Infectious disease Congenital disorders Traumatic disorders ```
43
In this disease, the body mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy tissue.
Autoimmune disease | Ex. Rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis
44
Diseases that involve the tissue breakdown caused by overuse for those that occur naturally as a result of the aging process
Degenerative diseases | Ex. Parkinson’s, osteoporosis
45
Disease caused by a lack of an essential nutrient in the individual diet or neutral probably
Deficiency diseases | Ex. Tickets
46
Diseases caused by an abnormality in the genetic code
Genetic diseases | Ex. Cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia
47
These diseases are physiologic dysfunctions that disrupt the body’s metabolism
Metabolic diseases | Ex. Cushing disease, Diabetes Mellitis
48
This disease is caused by pathogens such as bacteria fungi versus predator about the genic animals also known as communicable diseases
Infectious diseases | Ex.pneumonia, chicken pox, measles
49
Organisms in which pathogens reside
Hosts
50
The ability of disease to spread from one person to another by direct or in direct contact
Contagious
51
Disorders present at birth
Congenital disorders | Ex. Alcohol fetal syndrome, spina bifida
52
Agents of disease
1. Viruses 2. Bacteria 3. Fungi 4. Protozoa 5. Prions 6. Pathogenic animals
53
Or single celled organisms
Bacteria
54
This type of disease agent includes molds and yeast
fungi
55
This agent of diseases consider the smallest form of animal life it is also transmitted through contact with the feces contaminated food and water or a bite or sting from an infected insect or animal
Protozoa
56
An agent of diseases That affects the central nervous system and are currently untreatable and they know it causes a few diseases in mammals
Prions
57
An agent of disease that live on or within a host and depend on it for nourishment and replication
Pathogenic animals
58
Chain of infection
1. Infectious agent 2. Reservoir 3. Portal of exit 4. Transmission 5. Portal of entry 6. Host susceptibility
59
The three main methods of transmission are
1. Contact 2. Vehicle transmission 3. Vector transmission
60
Two most common methods of disease transmission
Direct and indirect contact
61
Occurs from physical contact between infected person and a non infected person
Direct contact
62
Involves fomite transmission in droplet transmission
Indirect contact
63
What is it called when the infected individual touch as an object and leaves contagion residue
Fomite transmission
64
What is it when the Infected individuals calls sneezes or spit on and a noninfected individual
Droplet transmission
65
What are three forms of vehicle transmission
1. Food borne transmission 2. Waterborne transmission 3. Airborne transmission
66
This type of transmission may occur by consuming pathogens that were not destroyed during preparation or storage
Food borne transmission
67
This transmission occurs from bathing washing drinking or ingesting food prepared with contaminated water
Waterborne transmission
68
This transmission occurs when infectious agents are released from a reservoir into the air in the form of an aerosol and travel on particles of dust or droplets
Airborne transmission
69
This transmission occurs when an infectious agents are transmitted through a common vehicle or source such as food water air and in some cases would use to buy transmission service
Vehicle transmission
70
This transmission uses a vector to spread infectious agents between two or more posts
Vector transmission
71
What is an invasion of pathogens once they have entered the host
An infection
72
What is a protective response to infection injury or irritation
Inflammation
73
What were the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation
``` Swelling Heat A loss of function Redness Pain ```
