ANATOMY VS. PHYSIOLOGY
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
•
Pathophysiology is the study of functional changes in the
body that occur in response to disease or injury
•
For example, if someone ingests a toxin, that toxin might
be associated with a variety of physical changes, such as
inflammation in the stomach lining or necrosis of the
extremities
•
There are two separate medical fields involved in
pathophysiology. Physiology, the study of the body and its
functions and Pathology the study of disease and its
impact on the body. When combined, students look at how
the progress of a disease changes the body, and how the
changes can be treated or reversed.
•
This field of study is not merely academic. Knowing the
way in which a disease progresses can allow a medical
professional to predict the next stage of a disease,
providing appropriate care to the patient
•
One of the major issues in this discipline is that every
human body is different. What may be normal in one
person could be abnormal in another, and diseases will not
always behave in exactly the same way

BASICS OF DISEASES
• How Diseases Are Spread: Diseases
can be spread through the air, direct
contact, blood or other body fluids,
and contact with feces.
• How Diseases Can Be Studied:
Diseases can be studied through
models, direct observation, DNA
analysis, or reading/researching
them.
• How Diseases Can Be Prevented:
Diseases can be prevented by
receiving vaccinations, taking part in
proper hygiene, and keeping your
distance from sick people.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISEASES
• Congenital Diseases: A condition
existing at or before birth regardless
of cause
• Inherited Diseases: A disease or
disorder that is inherited genetically
• Infectious Diseases: Caused by or
capable of being communicated by
infection
• Degenerative Diseases: Any disease
in which deterioration of structure or
function of tissue occurs
