Cell Injury & Adaptation Flashcards
hypertrophy
increase in the size of an organ w/o an increase in cell number
can hypertrophy and hyperplasia occur together?
yes- this is typically the case
when does pure hypertrophy occur?
only in skeletal and cardiac muscle
what can be a side effect of hypertrophy?
increased distance to source of nutrients
what does this represent?
hypertrophy of cardiac muscle
hyperplasia
the increase in size of a tissue or organ due to an increased number of cells
examples of hyperplasias that are physiologic:
-erythroid bone marrow hyperplasia at high altitude
-cyclic enlargement of the endometrium and breast during the menstrual cycles
-regrowth of liver parenchyma after surgical excision is compensatory
examples of hyperplasias that are pathologic:
epithelial hyperplasia caused by HPV
ID
epithelial hyperplasisa: papilloma
ID
endothelial hyperplasia: pyogenic granuloma
ID
fibrous hyperplasia: fibroma
ID
fibrous hyperplasia: epulis fissuratum
*caused by ill-fitting denture
ID
epithelial & fibrous hyperplasia: inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (of the palate)
ID
osseous hyperplasia: sub-pontic osseous hyperplasia
ID
osseous hyperplasia: exostoses
ID
gingival enlargement (hyperplasia)
ID
gingival enlargement (hyperplasia)
examples of meds that can cause gingival enlargement:
-Procardia (calcium channel blockers)
-Cyclosporin (immunosuppressant)
-Dilantin (anti-seizure med)
examples of gingival enlargement (hyperplasia):
-inflammatory hyperplasia
-drug-induced enlargement
-leukemic infiltrates
-amyloid infiltration
-Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome
-juvenile hyaline fibromatosis
-Cowden syndrome
-Wegener granulomatosis

condylar hyperplasia
ID
hyperplastic dental follicle
*radiolucency around tooth
*would need biopsy to diagnose
ID
gynecomastia- hyperplasia of male breast
atrophy
reduction in size of cells, tissues, or organs
examples of pathologic atrophy:
-atrophy of skeletal muscle following denervation
-atrophy of the brain due to ischemia
examples of physiologic atrophy:
-atrophy of the uterus after pregnancy
-involution of the thymus in early adult life
pathologic atrophy may result from:
-disuse
-denervation
-lack of trophic hormones
-ischemia (reduction in blood supply)
-malnutrition
-idiopathic (Parry-Romberg syndrome)
ID
atrophy
ID
atrophy
diseases that can cause brain atrophy:
-atherosclerotic disease
-alzheimer disease
what is this?
progressive hemifacial atrophy (Pary Romberg Syndrome)
*always unilateral
*ideopathic
*no intervention until atrophy has run its course
metaplasia
replacement of one mature cell type by another one
metaplasia represents a change to a _____ cell type
tougher
is metaplasia reversible?
generally yes- tissue can revert to its normal state after irritant is removed
what happens if an irritant is persistant in a tissue?
metaplasia may progress to dysplasia and then to frank neoplasia
