2-3. cause may be what or what?
- without loss
- physiologic (embryogenesis - invoution of hormone controlled areas after withdrawal of hormone)

(Apoptosis)
1-5. What are the five causes?

(then look at diagram on 258)
(mechanisms of apoptosis)
- extrinsic pathway is what?
- intrinsic is what?

- receptor initiated
- mitochondrial
(not mutually exclusive)
(here are some intrinsic pathways…)
261-262
he talked a decent amount about this…


(Apoptosis: execution phase)
- proteolytic cascade that utlimately results in the activation of the execuation what and what?
(Caspase)
- c stands for what? aspase stands for what?
- exist as what? need to be what for activation?
- cleave proteins of what three things?
- caspase 3 or caspase 6
- cysteine enzyme (enzyme containing cysteine in active site; its capability to cleave “aspartic acid” residues
- proenzymes (zymogens); cleaved
- cytoskeleton, transcirption and translation, DNA repair machinery
(Apoptosis)
(morphology)
- can considerable apoptosis occur in tissues before it is evident on histology
2-5. what are four things you see?
- yes
- cell shrinkage (packed organelles)
- chromatin condensation
- formation of cytoplasmic belebs then apoptic bodies
- phagocytosis of cells (macrophages with no inflammation)

(Apoptosis: Assays)
1-4. What four techniques are used?
- nuclear morphology (chromatin condensation and nuclear lobulation/fragmentation)
- TUNEL and related assays (in situ detection of ds DNA breaks)
- caspase assays (esp caspases 3,2,8, and 9)
- cytochorome c release in to cytosol (western blot; immunohistochemistry)
(Adaptatino fot “workload imbalance”)
- what occurs when cells are no longer stimulated/needed; what is a congenital defect in which the organ was not or only insufficiently formed?
- what when cells are over-stimulated?
- What is it when there is replacement of one adult cell type (more specialized) by another cell type of the same germ line (less specialized)? is it reversible?
- atrophy; apasia/hypoplasia
- hypertrophy/hyperplasia
- metaplasia; yes
(also dysplasia and anaplasia –> see disturbances of growth lecture)
(Atrophy –> focal or diffuse shrinkage of organ)
- reduction of cell size - called what?
- reduction of cell number?
- what is it called when you have loss of cells but replacement by adipocytes “lipomatous pseudohypertrophy”?)
- simple atrophy
- numeric atrophy
- numeric atrophy with lipmatosis
(Atrophy)
(physiologic atrophy)
- fetal development
- thymus atrophy/atrophy of lymphoid tissue = ?
- senile atrophy (heart, nervous system) - “brown atrophy” due to what?
- age-independent (cycle-dependent) atrophy = involution of what and what post partum?
- involution
- intracellular lipofuscin accululation
- uterus and mammary gland
(atrophy)
- does pathologic atrophy = involution?
just read this…

- no
(atrophy)
(mechanism: increased protein degradation through what two things?)
- lysosomal acid hydrolases (eg cathepsin)
- ubiquitin-proteasome pathway
(Atrophy)
(Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway)
- cyotosolic and nuclear proteins conjugated to what?
- degradation within what?
- atrophy often accompanied by increased numbers of what?
- if not digestible - what will remation?
- ubiquitin
- a large cytoplasmic organele (“proteasome”)
- autophagic vacuoles
- membrane bound residual bodies (eg lipofuscin)
Hypertrophy/Hyperplasia (–> focal or diffuse enlargement of organ)
- what is response to increased stimulation of post-mitotic cell (quiescent and permanent cells)? what leads to cell enlargement?
- What is response to increased stimulation of cells with mitotic capacity?
- what often occur together in tissues with mitotic activity?
- hypertrophy; synthesis of more organelles
- hyperplasia
- hyperplasia and hypertrophy
(Metaplasia: classic examples)
1-3. what are the three examples?
