(2) Cell Injury and Adaption Flashcards
4 Cellular Responses to Injury
- alter physiology/non-lethal stimulus
ie. Increased demand, GF, less nutrients, chronic irritation
→ Hyperplasia/hypertrophy/atrophy/metaplasia - Reduced O2, chemical injury, microbial infection
ie. Acute/transient and progressive/severe
→Acute reversible injury like swelling or fatty change
→Irreversible like necorsis/apoptosis - Metabolic change/genetic/aquired change/chonic
-→intracellular accumulations, calcifications - Cumulative sub-lethal injury overtime
→ cellular aging
Labile cells and examples
continously dividing
→hematopoetic cells or surface epi (chemo would affect these)
Stable tissues
quiescent; divide, but not often
→ in response to injury
→ the parenchyma of solid organs
→ endothelial cells, fibroblasts, sm msl cells
Permanent Tissues
non-proliferative
→ neurons and cardiac muscle cells
↑SIZE of cells; increase size organ
HYPERtrophy
- more proteins/organelles
- d/t tropic(GFs) or mechanical triggers
- occurs in cells w/ limited capacity to divide
Hypertrophy
Physiologic Hypertrophy:
d/t increased fnx demand or hormonal stimulation. Like wt lifting or preg uterus
CC: Patho hypertrophy =
heart mscl in HTN
*thick lf ventricle and increased mass; in response to increased work load in HTN
See also w/ aortic vavle stenosis
*myofibers enlarge; increase filaments. Initially no change but leads to heart fail
In microscope: see enlarged nuclie and myofiber width
↑# of cells
*cells capable of division(labile and stable)
HYPERplasia:
Physiologic hyperplasia:
female boobs puberty/preg
- Compensatory hyperplasia of liver after partial resection
- CT response to wound healing
- preg uterus both hypertrophy/hyperplasia
CC: Patho hyperplasia
Excessive stimulation by GF or hormones
-Endometrial hyperplasia; reversible and cells respond normally to regulatory mech. Puts you at increased risk for cancer
Microscope: increased # and crowding of glands with cells closely packed liking glands. Glands should be round
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
men >50
*nodules in prostate/perurethral = obstruction
cause=?
d/t androgen induced relesase of GF→ increased proliferation of stromal cells, decreased death of epithelial cells
*no increased risk of cancer
BPH pathogenesis:
androgen induced released of GF–> increased proli of stromal cells, decreated death of epithelial cells
↓size of a cell d/t loss of substance
- severe leads to decreased organ size
- decreased protein synth + increased degredation
- decreased function but not death
Atrophy:
Causes of Atrophy
- Physiologic:
- Pathologic:
- loss of hormonal simulation (endometrium, menopaus)
2. decreased functional demand/loss of innervation/inadequte nutrition
