Cell Injury 1 - Adaptation Flashcards
What are the 3 cells of adaptation
Labile
Stable
Permanent
What are stable cells
Remodelling cells
Divide when needed
Hepatocytes
Myocytes
What is the lifespan like of labile cells
Short because of regeneration capacity
Gut epithelium
When do permanent cells divide
Only in foetal life
What happens to permanent cells if damaged
What is result
Are repaired
Loss of specialised function
E.g neurons
What causes hypertrophy
Growth factors and mechanical stress
When is hypertrophy observed physiologically (2)
Increase work load
Increase hormone
When is hypertrophy observed pathologically (3)
Increased resistance
Obstruction.
Hormone abnormal
4 cellular changes associated with hypertrophy
Increased membrane synthesis
Increased ATP demand
Increased enzyme activity
Increased myofilaments = contractile ability
What is limiting factor of hypertrophy
Need nutrients for protein synthesis
What are two cause of hypertrophy
Septal defect
= hole I heart
Left to right
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
What cause cardiomyopathy
Mutation
G to C
In myosin binding protein
What is saddle thrombosis
When clot forms in ventricle but goes to aorta and blocks somewhere
Describe hyperthyroidism
Is an increase in hormones
Leads to enhanced adrenergic affinity or number of receptors in myocardium
Causes hypertrophy in response to increased oxygen demand
Hypertrophy of myocardium
What causes hepatocyte hypertrophy
Xenobiotic administration
= agent
Therapeutic
Environment
Causes increased enzyme activity
