cell adaptation Flashcards
the cell can adapt to changes/stimulation
cell adaptation
increase in cell with subsequent increase in organ size
hypertrophy
causes of hypertrophy
increase functional demand, hormonal stimulation
increase in the number of cells in an organ which may then increase organ size
hyperplasia
the female breast at puberty and in pregnancy
hormonal hyperplasia
liver regeneration after partial resection
compensatory hyperplasia
causes of pathologic hyperplasia
excess hormones
increased risk for development of endometrial adenocarcinoma
atypical hyperplasia
decrease in the size of cell of organ by loss of cell substance can either be both size and number
atrophy
physiologic atrophy
normal development, uterus following childbirth
causes of pathologic atrophy
decreased workload, loss of innervation, decreased blood supply, inadequate nutrition, loss of endocrine stimulation and pressure
atrophy results from both what?
decreased protein synthesis and increase protein degredation
incomplete development of an organ so that it fails to reach adult size or the decrease in cell production
hypoplasia
a reversible change in which 1 adult cell type is replaced by another adult cell type.
metaplasia
what is associated with vitamin a that is caused by chronic irritation and vitamin a deficiency?
metaplasia
hyperplasia and metaplasia are _______ changes but a fertile field of dysplasia which is a ______ change.
not premalignant, premalignant
atypical proliferative changes due to chronic irritation or inflammation
dysplasia
the principles of cell injury
a. the cellular response to injurious stimuli depends on the type of injury, its duration and its severity.
b. the consequences of cell injury depends on the type, state and adaptability of the injured cell.
c. cell injury results from different biochemical mechanisms acting on several essential cellular components.
the reversible changes secondary to injury
cellular swelling, cell membrane blebs, detached ribosomes, & chromatin clumping,
the irreversible changes secondary to injury
lysosome rupture, dense bodies in mitochondria, cell membrane rupture, & karyolysis, karyorrhexis and pyknosis.
melting/dissolution of nucleus
karyolysis
fragmentation of nucleus
karyorrhexis
