Q

How neoplasia differs from hyperplasia

A

In neoplasia hyperplasia occurs without growth regulatory mechanism due to change in genetic composition of cells but in hyperplasia as long as stimulus present the effect will be there

Q

In what condition skeletal muscle hypertrophy occurs

A

Hylpertropied muscles in athletes and tabours

23
Q

Compensation hypertrophy occurs in?

A

Liver after hepectotomy

Kidney after nephrectomy on one side nephrons increases

24
Q

Morphological features of hypertrophy

A

Organ enlarged

DNA, RNA increase prote synthesis increases and er, and organelle increases myofibrils alto increase

25
Q

Atrophy definition

A

Decrease in size and number of cells without or with shrinkage of the tissue

Atrophied cells are smaller in size but viable there is no guarantee they need to go necrosis or apoptosis

26
Q

What is the mechanism of atrophy

A

Reduction in cell organelles chiefly mitochondria and myofilaments and er

27
Q

Physiological atrophy is seen in

A
Lymphoid issue with age
Thymus. In adult life
Gonads after menopause
Uterus aft parturition
Brain with aging.
Bony trabuculae in osteoporosis
28
Q

Pathological atrophy seen in

A

Starvation atrophy general weakness,anemia, emaciation known as cache is in cancer patients
Ishemic atrophy kidney in renal atherosclerosis and brain brain in cerebral atherosclerosis
Neuropathic atrophy = poliomyelitis,motor neurone disease

Disuse atrophy wasting of immobilised hand

Endocrine = hypo pituitary secretions may cause atrophy of thyroid

Pressure= erosion of skull in meningioma and erosion of sternum in arch of aorta aneurysm

Idiopathic

29
Q

What are morphology of atrophy

A

Cells smaller in size
Increase in autophagic vacuoles
Shrinkage in cell size due to cell organelles , mito amd myofilamemts

30
Q

Defination of metaplasia

A

A reversible change in which one adult matured cell type is replaced by other adult cell type
It is reversible

31
Q

Mechanism of metaplasia

A

Reprogramming of stem cells occurs not the change in already existing cellls

32
Q

Types of metaplasia

A

Epithelial squamous and columnar

Mesenchymal _ osseous and cartilaginous

33
Q

Epithelial metaplasia

A

Most common type

Replacement of one epithelium by stronger but less well specialised epithelium

Columnar epithelium → squamous epithelium
Bronchus.( pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium) in chronic smokers

Uterine endocervix( normally lined by simple columnar epithelium ) in prolapse of uterus

Gallbladder( normally lined simple columnar epithelium)
In cholelithiasis

In prostate(normally lined simple columnar epithelium) in chronic prostatitis

Vita A deficiency, squamous metaplasia in nose, bronchi
Lacrimal and salivary glands

34
Q

Examples of metaplasia

A

Barett’s esophagus → change of normal squamous epithelium to columnar epithelium

Cervical erosion → change of normal squamous epithelium to columnar epithelium

35
Q

Mesenchymal metaplasia

A

Less common

One adult type of mesenchymal tissue to another lie formation of cartilage, bones or adipose tissue

36
Q

Osseus metaplasia

A

Monckebergs medial calorific sclerosis(in arterial
Wall in old age)

Myositis ossificans

Cartilage of larynx and bronchi in eldest ppl

In scar of chronic inflammation of prolonged duration

37
Q

Cartilaginous metaplasia

A

In healing of fractures cartilaginous metaplasia may occur where there in undue mobility

38
Q

Dysplasia definition

A

Disordered cellular development

Characterised by cellular cytologic changes

39
Q

Explain cytological changes

A

No of layers increases
Disorderly arrangement

Loss of basal polarity
Pleomorphism 
Increased n/c ratio
Hyperchromatism
Increased mitotic activity
40
Q

Cell injury

A

43
Q

What are 5 mechanisms of cell injury

A
ATP depletion
Mitochondrial damage
Loss of calcium homeostasis
Defects in membrane permeability
Free radical injury
44
Q

Explain ATP depletion mechanism of cell injury os

A

ATP formation decreases

Na+ k+ pump decreases influx of cal and Na+ increases
Efflux of k+ increases

Er swelling, cellular swelling, loss of microvilli, Blebs formation :
. In
Anaerobic glycolysis occurs due to ishecemia lactic acid
Ph v

45
Q

What are effects caused by atp depletion

A

Na and k+ pump stops working

Influx of calcium increases and effulx of k+increases

Er swelling ,cellular swelling loss of microvilli blebs

Anaerobic glycolysis glycogen decreases and lactic acid increases ph decreases

Clumping of nuclear chromatin

Detached ribosomes cause decrease protein synthesis

46
Q

What happens when ishcemia occurs

A

Ischemia

Mitochondria reduces oxidative phosphorylation

Na k pump decreases sodium and water enters and k exists

Endoplasmic reticulum dilates ,the cell swells blebs appears

47
Q

How anaerobic glycolysis affect the cell injury

A

Anaerobic glycolysis

Glycogen decreases

Lactic acid increases ph decreases

Interferes with enzymes and nuclear chromatin

48
Q

Decreased atp

Rer loses ribosomes

Proteins
Synthesis falls

Structural proteins and enzymes depletion

A

Due to atp depletion

49
Q

How the mitochondrial damage effects the cell injury

A

Mitochondrial damage

Mitochondrial permeability transition pore

Loss of mitochondrial membrane

Failure of normal oxidative phosphorylation

Atp decreases

Mitochondrial damage

Abnormal oxidative phosphorylation

Formation of ro

Deleterious effects

As the permeability of mitochondria increases c reactive protein blw outer and inner membranes

Mitochondrial damage c reactive protein come out and promote apoptosis

50
Q

Calcium homeostasis

A

Normally Ca will be less intracellurlly what ever cal present is present on the er and mito

As the mitochondrial damage occurs and permeability increases the ca in the cells increases

Several enzymes like phospholipids
Atpase
Proteases
Endonucleases

51
Q

Consequencesof membrane damage

A

Mitochondrial membrane damage
Plasma damage
Lysososomal membrane damage

52
Q

Explain plasma membrane damage
