Chapter 1 Flashcards
what are the four aspects of disease
cause/etiology
pathogenesis
molecular and morphologic changes
functional derangements and clinical manifestations
hypertrophy
increase in size of cells
cardiac and skeletal mm (these cannot undergo hyperplasia)
hypertrophy triggered by
GFs: TGFbeta, IGF1, FGF
vasoactive agents: alpha adrenergic agonists
endothelin 1, angiotensin II
hypertrophy is signaled by
P3K/AKT- physiologic
GPCRs- pathologic
hyperplasia
increased cell #
physiologic hyperplasia
hormonal (proliferation of breast tissue in puberty and pregnancy)
compensatory (liver regeneration)
pathologic hyperplasia
endometrial hyperplasia
benign prostatic hyperplasia
viral infections
autophagy
residual bodies called lipofuscin granules
brown atrophy
myositosis ossificans
bone in mm
usually after intramuscular hemmorage
periductal mastits
type of metaplasia in smokers
effects breast tissue and lactiferous ducts
can get pockets which form abcesses
metaplasia mechanism
signals generated by GFs, ECM, retinoic acid
base cells responsible for regeneration if apical cells die
base cells regenerate to produce a different type of epithelium
reversible cell injury signs
decreased ATP cell swelling mitochondria and cytoskeleton abnormalities blebbing of plasma membrane detachment of ribosomes from ER clumping of chromatin loss of membrane integrity fatty change (in hypoxic and toxic injuries)
nucleus in necrosis
pyknosis -> karyorrhexis -> karyohysis
ischemic tissue
increased esonophilia staining sue to low cytoplasmic RNA and denatured proteins
myelin figures
replace dead ischemic cells
large whorled phospholipid masses
phagocytosed
can calcify to form Ca soaps
karyolysis
faded/abscent nuclei
pyknosis
nuclear shrinkage and increased basophilia
karyorrhexis
fragmented nuclei
coagulative necrosis
architecture of dead tissue persists for days-weeks
firm texture
injury denatures enzymes as well so proteolysis cannot occur
eosinophilic, anucleated cells persist
infart
liquefactive necrosis
digestion of dead cells -> liquid viscous mass
focal bacterial or fungal infections
creamy yellow/green pus (color due to dead leukocytes)
brain due to ischemia
caseous necrosis
foci of TB
cheese like appearance
ganulomas
fat necrosis
clinical term
focal areas of fat destruction
usually due to release of activated pancreatic lipases in pancreatitis
can get fat saponification
fibrinoid necrosis
immune rxns involving blood vessels
complexes of Ags and Abs deposit on wall of aa -> immune complex
immune complex and fibrin(leaked from vessels) -> bright pink and amorphous appearance
decreased ATP
plasma membrane energy dependent Na pump cannot fnx
cellular energy dependent metabolism altered
failure of Ca pump (increased intracellular Ca)
decreased protein synthesis
proteins unfold
plasma membrane energy dependent Na pump failure
Na enters and accumulates
K diffuses out
cell swelling and dilation of ER
cellular energy dependent metabolism altered
decreased ox phos -> decreased ATP/increased AMP -> PFK & phosphorylases -> increased anerobic glycolyssi -> deplete glycogen stores & build up of lactic acid -> low pH -> activate lytic enzymes
increased intracellular Ca
MPTP
activates phospholipases, proteases, endonucleases, ATPases
apoptosis via caspases and MPTP
