Cell Injury and Death Flashcards
cell death
necrosis
cell suicide
apoptosis
lack of blood and therefore O2 to the tissue
ischemia
nucleus dissolves with loss of affinity for basic stains
karyolysis
nucleus shrinks and becomes dense
pyknosis
nucleus breaks down into small fragments and chromatin breaks up into unstructured granules throughout cytoplasm
karyorrhexis
what controls cell growth and differentiation
genetic factors
increase in number of cells
hyperplasia
increase in cell size
hypertrophy
absence or imperfect tissue development
agenesis
total failure of organ to develop
aplasia
deficiency of growth or diminution of size
hypoplasia
reduction in size of an organ
atrophy
replacement of a cell type with another
metaplasia
normal development of a tissue with disordered architecture
dysplasia
