Like, we have never been informed on how to write a pathophysiology. Is there a format to follow?

I realize I may be coming across as totally ignorant here, but we're one week into our second year of school and my clinical instructor for med/surg (an adjunct faculty member, so she doesn't lecture) told me to write a pathophysiology on my patient's lumbar fracture for next week. You guys, I've never heard that word before. I think she assumes that we're familiar with it, since she doesn't teach, but we're not. I feel like it's probably rather basic, but I'm not even sure where to start! Can anyone explain the purpose and general parameters of the average pathophysiology (I don't think it has to be over a page)? Thanks!
