02 Cellular Adaptation Flashcards
Basic parts of a cell:
7
▪️cell membrane ▪️ER ▪️Nucleus ▪️ribosome ▪️golgi apparatus ▪️mitichondria ▪️lysosome
The structural and functional unit of all living organisms
Building block of life

Cell
Cell adaptayion is Normally confined to a fairly narrow range of function and structure by:
Genetic programs of metabolism
Differentiation
Specialization
Steady state
Homeostasis
Factors that determine whether injury or death would occur:
Strength of stimulus Duration of stimulus Health of the cell Type of cell Adaptability of cell
Causes of cell injury and Death:
Ischemia/ Hypoxia Infection Chemical/drugs Physical Immunologic Genetic Nutritional
Primary Targets in Cell Injury and death:
Cell Membrane
️Mitochondria
Cytoskeleton
Cellular DNA
Mechanisms of cell death and injury:
Depletion of ATP Mitochondrial Damage Influx of intracellular Calcium Accumulation of Free Radicals Defects in Membrane Permeability
Cell Injury manifested as Cytoplasmic changes:
▪️Fatty change
▪️Inclusions (e.g. Pigments)
▪️Cell swelling
Common causes of Fatty Change:
Malnutrition
Alcohols
Drugs
Pigments found as inclusions during cell injury:
Carbon Hemosiderin Bilirubin Lipofuscin Melanin
Examples of Inclusions found during cell injury:
Pigments
Proteins
Carbohydrates
TYPES OF CELL ADAPTATION:
Atrophy Hypertrophy Hyperplasia Metaplasia Dysplasia
Mechanisms of Adaptation:
Increasing cellular activity
Decreasing cellular activity
Altering cellular structure
Loss of maturation
Increase in size
Hypertrophy
Increase in number
Hyperplasia
Altering cell structure
Metaplasia
Loss of maturation
Dysplasia
Shrinkage in the size of the cell by loss of cell substance and may lead to cell death
Atrophy
Classifications of atrophy:
2
Physiologic
Pathologic
Atrophy Due to decreased workload (e.g. Decreased size of uterus following childbirth, or disease)
Physiologic atrophy
Atrophy primarily due to the denervation of muscle, diminished blood supply and nutritional deficiency
Pathologic atrophy
