Q

What is autophagy?

A
  • self eating
  • survival mechanism
  • consume damaged organelles
  • consume own proteins and carbs as a source of nutrition
  • protects cell from death
  • limits inflammation if cell dies

Q

What is this showing?

A
  • Hypertrophy = increase in tissue mass due to increased size of cells (parenchymal cells, not stroma or leukocytes)

Q

What is this showing?

A
  • Metaplasia = change from 1 differentiated cell type to another

Q

What is this showing?

A
  • Dysplasia = abnormality in formation of a tissue
  • in ep it implies:
    • increase in number of poorly differentiated cells
    • disorganised arrangment
    • variable appearance
    • can be precursor to neoplasia

Q

What is the micro appearance of lipidosis?

A
  • sharply defined large lipid vacuoles
  • distend the cytoplasm
  • displace the nucleus peripherally

Q

Where is glycogen normally stored?

A
  • hepatocytes
  • skeletal muscle cells
21
Q

In what situations is glycogen depleted?

A
  • starvation
  • sick animals
22
Q

When does glycogen accumulated intracellularly?

A
  • excessive in glycogen storage disease
  • in the liver with diabetes mellitus and canine hyperadrenocorticism
23
Q

What is the gross appearance of glycogen hepatopathy?

A
  • mottled
  • brown

  • if cut with a knife would not be greasy - not lipidosis
24
Q

What is the micro appearance of glycogen hepatopathy?

A
  • poorly defined

A
  • Russell bodies of plasma cells
29
Q

What is this showing?

A
  • kidney
  • purple is nucleus
  • pink is cytoplasm
  • granular and dark pink cytoplasm = protein that shouldnt be there
30
Q

What are viral inclusion bodies?

A
  • feature of some viruses
  • can be intranuclear, intracytoplasmic or both
  • can be eosinophilic, basophilic or amphophilic
31
Q

What is this showing?

36
Q

What is Metastatic calcification?

A
  • calcification of soft tissues due to elevated serum calcium e.g.

    • bone invasion and lysis in some neoplasms
    • Vit D toxicity
37
Q

What is dystrophic calcification?

A

39
Q

What is Calcinosis circumscripta?

A
  • localised calcification of the dermis or subcutis
    • tends to happen on pressure points/ often bony prominences
    • a form of dystrophic calcification
40

45
Q

What is lipofuscin?

A
  • yellow-brown lipoprotein that accumulates as residual bodies in secondary lysosomes
46
Q

What is ceroid?

A

= lipofuscin-like but accumulates in disease states (particularly oxidative stress)
