Adaptation Flashcards
This are reversible changes in the number, size, phenotype, metabolic activity or functions of cells
Adaptations
A type of adaptation that usually represents responses of cells to normal stimulation hormones
Physiologic adaptation
Type of adaptations that responses to stress that allow cell to modulate
Pathologic
Increase in cell size, incapable of dividing
Hypertrophy
Increase in cell number,capable of replication
Hyperplasia
Types of hyperplasia that exemplified by the proliferation of the glandular epithelium
Hormonal hyperplasia
Type of hyperplasia that occurs when a portion of the tissue is removed
Compensatory
Absence of cell, shrinking of cell
Atrophy
Results from decreased protein synthesis
Atrophy
Self- eating
Autophagy
A reversible change in which one adult cell type is replaced
Metaplasia
Also known as atypical hyperplasia, abnormal growth and differentiation
Dysplasia
Also known an undifferentiated, irreversible
Anaplasia
Cells may accumulate abnormal amounts of substances
Intracellular accumulation
Abnormal accumulation of triglycerides
Steatosis (fatty change)
