HYPERTROPHY

Pure hypertrophy occurs where?

A

• Hypertrophy –increase in the size of an organ without an increase in cell number

Q

METAPLASIA

A

• Metaplasia is the replacement of one mature cell type by another one.
• It generally represents a change to a “tougher” cell type
Metaplasia is generally reversible and the tissue reverts to its normal state after the irritant is removed
• If the irritant persists, metaplasia may progress to dysplasia and then to frank neoplasia

agenesis
aplasia
hypoplasia

38
Q

agenesis

A

complete non-dev of a cell or organ

examples: mandible, tooth roots, multiple teeth, etc

39
Q

aplasia/hypoplasia

A

• Hypoplasia is the incomplete development of
an organ
• The organ never reached its normal size

40
Q

TREACHER COLLINS SYNDROME

A

MANDIBULO-FACIAL DYSPLASIA, hypoplasia of the mandible

41
Q

Pierre robin syndrome

A

hypoplasia/ aplasia of the mandible

42
Q

regional odotnodysplasia

A

certain quadrants m ay be affected with the hypoplasia/aplasia of teeth
“ghost teeth” present
also represents a dysplasia= abnormal formation

43
Q

DYSPLASIA

A

DYSPLASIA
• Dysplasia literally means abnormal formation
• The term is used in many context

44
Q

What does EPITHELIAL DYSPLASIA potentially lead to? only this?

A

potential to lead to malignancies and cancer

only epithelial dysplasia indicates pre malignancy

45
Q

ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA

A

genetic/developmental

abnormal formation of ectoderm derivatives (teeth, hair, skin, sweat glands, etc.)

46
Q

FIBRO-OSSEOUS DYSPLASIA at tooth root radiography

A

mixed lucent and opaque radiograph appearance, present at apex

47
Q

fibrous dysplasia of the face

A

usually with maxilla or mandible, become enlarged unilaterally
developmental
seen radiographically

48
Q

type I dentin dysplasia

A

abnormal root dentin formation

49
Q

Stages in the Cellular Response to Stress and Injury diagram

A
50
Q

reversible change in the liver

A

fatty change, due to alcohol abuse, accumulation of fat cells in the liver

51
Q

irreversible changes

A

cell death: apoptosis and necrosis

52
Q

cell death mechanism diagrams

A

apoptosis: apoptotic formed and digested by phagocytes= clean
necrosis: lysosomal membranes break and contents leak digesting cell contents and causing local inflammatory response

53
Q

nuclear signals of necrosis

A
  • Pyknosis –a small, dark and shrunken nucleus
  • Karyorrhexis –nuclear fragmentation
  • Karyolysis –dissolution of the nucleus
54
Q

what tells you how cells die?

A

cytoplasm

55
Q

types of necrosis, usually seen with?

A
  • Coagulative necrosis –typically seen in hypoxic injury (myocardial infarct)
  • Liquefactive necrosis –typically seen in bacterial infections and cerebral infarct
  • Caseous necrosis –necrotic tissue is converted into a cheesy mass (tuberculosis)
  • Fat necrosis –characteristically seen in acute pancreatitis
56
Q
A

coagulative necrosis

57
Q
A

liquefactive necrosis

58
Q
A

causeous necrosis

59
Q

APOPTOSIS

A
  • Programmed cell death occurs through activation of an internal suicide program
  • CASPASES enzymes mediate this
  • Selectively eliminates unwanted cells with minimal disturbance to the surrounding cells
  • The plasma membrane remains intact, but its structure is altered so that the it becomes a target for phagocytosis
  • The dead cell is rapidly cleared before its contents have leaked out and therefore does not elicit an inflammatory reaction
60
Q

types of apoptosis

A

physiologic and pathologic

61
Q

Physiologic apoptosis examples

A
  • Programmed destruction of cells during embryogenesis
  • Hormone-dependent involution of tissues in the adult
  • Deletion of potentially harmful self-reactive lymphocytes
  • Cell death induced by cytotoxic T-cells (virally-infected or neoplastic cells)
62
Q

Pathologic apoptosis examples

A
  • If DNA repair mechanisms can’t cope with damage, the cells kills itself by apoptosis
  • Cell death in certain viral infections (hepatitis)
  • Pathologic atrophy in organs after obstruction
  • Cell death in tumors
63
Q

Exogenous pigments

A

from external environment
– Carbon - anthracosis, blackened lungs
– Tattooing –skin and mucosal tattoos, amalgam tats

64
Q

Endogenous pigments

A

– Lipofuscin (aging)
– Melanin –formed in melanocytes
– Hemosiderin –hemoglobin-derived
– Bilirubin, excreted in bowels/urine

65
Q

PATHOLOGIC CALCIFICATION

A

• Pathologic calcification is the abnormal deposition of calcium salts in tissue, can be dystrophic ot metastic

66
Q

dystrophic calcification

A

• Dystrophic calcification occurs in nonviable or dying tissues in the presence of normal serum calcium levels

67
Q

metastatic calcification

A

Metastatic calcification occurs in viable tissues and is associated with hypercalcemia
