chapter 1 cell injury, death, adaptations

Question 1

what is the study of disease?

Answer 1

pathology

what is the name for origin of disease or the “why”?

Answer 2

etiology- including underlying causes and modifying factors

-genetic and environmental

Question 3

what is the name for steps in development of disease or the “how”?

Answer 3

pathogenesis

it describes how etiologic factors produce cellular and molecular changes that give rise to specific functional and structural abnormalities

hypertrophy
hyperplasia
atrophy
metaplasia

Question 10

irreversible injury leads to what?

Answer 17

increase in NUMBER of cells

Question 18

what is hyperplasia the result of?

Answer 18

hormonal factors

compensatory factors, gene activation

Question 19

what is a physiological example of hyperplasia?

Answer 19

liver donation

female breast

Question 20

what are the possible causes of cerebral atrophy?

Answer 20

atherosclerosis
malnutrition
alzheimers
huntington’s disease

Question 21

when atrophy occurs, what happens to protein?

Answer 21

there is a DECREASE in protein synthesis and INCREASE in protein breakdown

Question 22

atrophy is the result of what 5 things?

Answer 22

immobilization
denervation
ischemia- decreased blood nutrients 
endocrine disruption
aging

Question 23

when cerebral tissue atrophies, what happens to the gyri and sulci?

Answer 23

gyri narrow

sulci widen

Question 24

what are the consequences of metaplasia?

Answer 24

when structure alters, function decreases

there is a risk for malignant malformation

Question 25

what are the mechanisms of cellular injury?

Answer 25

depletion of ATP
mitochondrial damage
influx of calcium
oxidative stress
defects in membrane permeability
DNA and protein damage

Question 26

hypoxia, nutritional deficiencies, mitochondrial damage and toxins are all things that cause what type of cellular injury?

Answer 26

depletion of ATP

Question 27

hypoxia, toxins, irradiation are all examples of problems that can cause what type of cellular injury?

Answer 27

mitochondrial damage

Question 28

ischemia and toxins both cause what type of cellular injury?

Answer 28

influx of calcium

Question 29

with a depletion of ATP what process is also decreased?

Answer 29

oxidative phosphorylation

Question 30

with a depletion of ATP there are also other effects, name 3?

Answer 30

increase in anaerobic glycolysis- lactic acid build up, pH prob

decreased brain function- glycolysis

ATP-dependent Na and Ca pumps leading to excess Na and Ca

Question 31

mitochondrial damage- a type of cellular injury- leads to what?

Answer 31

decreased ATP
increased ROS
activate apoptosis

Question 32

an influx of calcium increases several enzymes which have damaging effects as well as?

Answer 32

increase in capsases which leads to apoptosis

Question 33

accumulation of ROS leads to?

Answer 35

oxidative stress

Question 36

ischemia, toxins, physical trauma and complement activation can all lead to?

Answer 36

defects in membrane permeability

Question 37

defects in membrane permeability lead to what?

Answer 37

decreased phospholipid synthesis
increased phospholipid breakdown
cytoskeleton abnormalities

mitochondrial, plasma and lysosomal membrane damage

necrosis

Question 38

severe oxidative stress, irridation, abnormal protein folding all lead to?

Answer 38

DNA and protein damage

Question 39

when cell injury gets all the way to DNA and protein damage, what changes?

Answer 39

it becomes irreversible and irreparable

stimulates apoptosis

Question 40

intracellular accumulations happen?

Answer 40

within aged or injured cells- inside cytoplasm, organelles or nucleus
