Q

What is a diagnosis?

A

It is a conclusion derived from the study of the cause and pathogenesis of the disease, with an end in view of differentiating the disease in question from other diseases of similar manifestations.

Q

What is an impasse in terms of pathology?

A

It is the steady state where the agent
cannot cause damage any further sufficiently to cause functional impairment or death, yet the animal body cannot eliminate the agent.

A

Immunologic defense

27
Q

study of the basic reactions of cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli that underlie all diseases

A

general pathology

28
Q

study of the specific responses of specialized organs and tissues to more or less well-defined pathologic stimuli

A

systemic pathology

29
Q

A branch of pathology directed to the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases by laboratory means. It involves the collection and examination of body fluids and interpretations of laboratory findings.

A

clinical pathology

30
Q

any deviation from, or interruption of, the normal structure or function of
any part, organ or system of the body

A

disease

31
Q

observed abnormalities of structures in animals

A

clinical signs

32
Q

▪ concerned with the nature and cause of disease as expressed by changes in cellular or tissue structure and function caused by the disease process

▪ the study of the functional, biochemical and morphological alterations in cells, tissues and organs that underlie disease

A

pathology

33
Q

the structural alterations (gross or microscopic) in cells or tissues that are often characteristic of the disease

A

Morphologic changes

34
Q

the nature of the morphologic changes and their distribution in organs or tissues influence normal function and determine the clinical signs,
course and prognosis of the disease

A

clinical significance

35
Q

the mechanisms or sequence of events leading from initiation of cell or
tissue injury to disease development

A

pathogenesis

36
Q

What is a lesion?

A

▪ any structural (or functional) abnormality in an organ, tissue or cell

▪ gross and microscopic changes (to include biochemical) in a cell, tissue, organ and system as a result of a disease

▪ a wound or injury; a pathologic change in the tissues.

37
Q

a lesion or sign that is specifically distinctive or
characteristic of a disease or pathological condition

A

pathognomonic

38
Q

What is injury or injurious agents?

A

▪ refers to any outside or inside influences in the animal or individual that would cause changes either in physiology and morphology of the cell

Q

any stimulus or succession of stimuli of such magnitude that tend to
disrupt the homeostasis of the organism

A

40
Q

Define homeostasis.

42
Q

Refers to the degree of pathogenicity or disease producing power of the

57
Q

deals with animals such as mammalian, avian,
zoo & wildlife, lab animal / primate, fish, etc

A

veterinary pathologist

58
Q

A list of diagnosis that could account for the history, clinical signs or lesions in a case.

differential diagnosis

59
Q

a diagnosis based on the predominant gross and microscopic lesion(s) in the tissue

A

morphological diagnosis

60
Q

it may be macroscopic (gross) or microscopic (histologic) and describes the severity, duration, distribution, location and nature (e.g., degenerative, inflammatory, neoplastic) of the lesion

A

morphological

61
Q

diagnosis based on data obtained from the case history, clinical signs and physical examination

A

clinical diagnosis

62
Q

a diagnosis that names the specific (or general) cause of the disease. (e.g., parvoviral enteritis, parasitic hepatitis)

A
