Disturbance of Growth Flashcards
Throughout the embryonic and
postnatal development of an animal,
tissues grow mainly by the process of?
cellular division
could also be increased by an increase in cell size
tissue mass
In the skin, for instance, there is continual replacement of cells at the surface that become keratinized by?
proliferation of basal cell
produces epidermal cells, and liver cells produces liver cells and soon
epidermal cell proliferation
The
sequence of events
comprising mitosis is called
cell cycle
The cell cycle consists of four
stages, what are these?
✓ G1 phase
✓ S phase
✓ G2 phase
✓ M phase
In this phase, the cell
cytoplasm and nuclei become enlarge and the nucleoli become prominent,
and there occur active production of
proteins and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
G1 Phase
in this phase, it is marked by active synthesis of
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and occupies about 30-40% of the cycle.
S phase
wherein other preparations for cellular division takes place, and
occupies another 10 - 20% of the cycle.
G2 Phase
In this phase, daughter cells are
produced which undergo terminal
differentiation and are no longer
capable of cellular division.
M phase
may result in either excess or a deficit of
tissue, or may produce an abnormal pattern of development
disturbances in growth
During the growth and development of an organ or tissue in the early fetal developmental stage, malformation may occur as a result
of?
genetic or nongenetic influences
These malformations are
present at birth and are saidto be
congenital
Certain types of developmental abnormalities represent growth abnormalities and these include
✓ agenesis
✓ aplasia
✓ hypoplasia
suggests a complete failure of that tissue or organ to develop and is therefore absent.
agenesis
implies failure of the tissue or
organ to grow and therefore a
rudimentary organ is present
aplasia
is also used to refer to failure of a tissue to renew itself, such as that occurring in bone marrow
leading to aplastic anemia
aplasia
refers to failure of an organ to reach its normal size.
hypoplasia
occurs in many tissues as part of the normal involution of tissues and organs
physiological atrophy
Common examples of psychological atrophy include;
✓ involution of the thymus as the animal matures
✓ the reduction in the
mammary glands of males of species
✓ the postpartum changes in the uterus
✓ the reduction in fetal structures
such as the umbilical vessels and
ductus arteriosus.
is also termed as complete atrophy
involution
occurs whenever there is deprivation of blood supply,nutritional
requirement,
or hormonal stimulation as a result of some disease thatproduces trophic hormone.
pathological atrophy
Types of pathological atrophy includes the following:
✓ Nutritional Atrophy
✓ Vascular Atrophy
✓ Disuse Atrophy
✓ Pressure Atrophy
✓ Endocrine/Hormonal Atrophy
✓ Miscellaneous Atrophy
due to inadequate dietary intake or in
chronic starvation
nutritional atrophy
as a result of long-standing ischemia
vascular atrophy
