Q

Histology vs Cytology

A

1- Branch of Dx pathology where tissue sample are observed to detect problem
2- Individual cells are studied and determined if they are normal or abnormal

16
Q

2 major types of tissues?

A

1-epithelial: protective/secretory

2-Connective: Structural/contractile

17
Q

Atrophy causes?

A

C and organelles get smaller:

  • Decrease workload: musc
  • Inadequate blood supply
  • Inadequate hormonal stimulation
  • Inadequate nutrient supply
18
Q

Hypertrophy types?

A
  • Physiological: exercise, uterus
  • Pathological: cardiac failure
  • Enzyme induction: in the smooth endo. reti. where we make enzy. if too much demand (Eg alcohol), increase enz level.
19
Q

Hyperplasia types?

A
  • NUmber of c increase
  • Combination of hyperplasia and hypertrophy = uterus in pregnancy
  • Pathological hyperplasia:
20
Q

Metaplasia?

A

Changing from one cell type to another.
Eg. mucociliary cells in smokers
Protective advantage, but lose normal function.

21
Q

Dysplasia?

A

If stress causing metaplasia for too long.
Cells are diff. sizes, nuclei diff, divide more rapidly.
Prelude to cancer.

22
Q

Anaplasia?

A

Losing the morphological characteristics of mature cells.

This is cancer
