Define the stress
State the type and duration of the initiating condition before naming the response.
CELLULAR INJURY & ADAPTATION
Insult, response,
consequence.
Build each process from the initiating stress, adaptation or injury, response and outcome. Verify detailed morphology in an approved source.
Follow adaptation
Ask what changes, why it is initially useful, and where its limits are.
Trace injury
Link mechanism, cellular effect and broad tissue consequence in order.
Keep context
Time, tissue and severity change the model; do not turn a learning pattern into an individual diagnosis.
RECALL CHECK
Can you tell the process?
Test the sequence, then verify detailed pathology in a lawful source.
