What is Pathophysiology? a science that provides understanding of disease mechanism and how/why physiology changes in body structure and function lead to clinical manifestations of disease. pathology study of disease physiology study of functions of living organism Prevention: Primary health promotion and protection to reduce/prevent incidence of disease ei: immunization, Read more…
Hyperplasia Increase in cell number. Cells retain normal structure. Causes of hyperplasia – hormone signaling (uterine lining) – increased functional workload (increased blood cells due to high altitude living) Hypertrophy Increase in cell size. Cells retain normal structure. Causes of Hypertrophy – hormonal signaling (breast cells for lactation) – increased Read more…
