Advance Patho Test #1 Flashcards
adaption
where a cell adapts to stress
Is adaptation reversible?
Yes
Adaptaion in the heart
Mysosin and Actin contract, causing heart to enlarge, heart ventricle thickens
If injury is severe can cell adapt?
NO
Endometrial lining is a form of
adaptation, by under times when we have hormones available, the endometrial lining of the uterus is going to increase in proliferation
hyperplasia
going to see what we call hyperplasia, an increase in numbers of cells. And that’s completely physiologic in the context of the estrogen and progesterone that’s produced during that menstrual cycle.
pathologic adaptation
when there’s something that is actually not a normal process or a normal signal that gives rise to the damage to that cell.
5 classifications of adaption
Hypetrophy
cardiac myocytes
don’t divide, Therefore, they do not have the option of undergoing cell division in order to adapt to stress. They can only get bigger and enlarge in size
Adaptations
adaptations that happen that sometimes are classified as precancerous. And the evidence of these adaptations increase the risk or likelihood of cancer.
Atrophy
The word trophy means size means a lack of or a reduction in size. So the size of the cells gets smaller
hyperplasia
cells that are capable of division have the option of hyperplasia as an adaptation

Dysplasia
dysplasia, where we started to get disorganization. And these are, again, reversible processes but are associated with an increased risk of cancer.
