Mechanisms of Disease - Transmission & Cancer

Rhinovirus, Hepatitcs B & Hepatitis C are all diseases spread by:

• Person-to-person contact

• Environmental contact

• Transmission by Vector

• Opportunistic Invasion

When potentially pathogenic organisms on the skin & mucous membranes cause disease only after they enter the body systems

• Person-to-person contact

• Environmental contact

• Opportunistic invasion

• Transmission by vector

Compounds produced by certain living organisms that kill or inhibit pathogens, specifically bacteria

• Homeostasis

• Metastasis

• Antibiotic

• Hyperplasia

When malignant cells fall away from the original tumor and start new tumors in other parts of the body it is called:

• metastasis

• homeostasis

• hyperplasia

• anaplasia

Tumors remain localized in the tissue from which they arose and are slow growing

• Benign

• Malignant

Tumors that tend to spread to other regions of the body, also known as cancer and are fast growing

• Benign

• Malignant

Tumors with a finger like projection as in a wart

• Papilloma

• Adenoma

• Nevus

• Lipoma

Tumors arising from adipose tissue

• Adenoma

• Lipoma

• Osteoma

• Chondroma

Benign tumors in bone tissue

• Lipoma

• Osteoma

• Chondroma

• Melanoma

Benign tumors in cartilage tissue

• Lipoma

• Osteoma

• Chondoma

• Myeloma
