DISTURBANCE OF GROWTH 7 Flashcards
The
sequence of events
comprising mitosis is
cell cycle
The S phase
is marked by active synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and occupies about
30-40% of the cycle.
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
wherein other preparations for cellular division takes place, and occupies another 10-20% of the cycle.
which is the mitotic phase
daughter cells are produced which undergo terminal differentiation and are no longer capable of cellular division.
These malformations are present at birth and are said
to be congenital.
suggests a complete failure of that tissue or organ to develop
and is therefore absent
Agenesis
refers to failure of an organ to reach its normal size.
Hypoplasia
means absence or closure of a normal body opening
Atresia
a implies failure of the tissue or organ to grow and
therefore a rudimentary organ is present
Aplasia
developmental abnormalities represent growth
abnormalities and these include
-agenesis, aplasia, and hypoplasia.
are adaptive changes of cells and tissues to various noxious stimuli, particularly those that persist for long periods creating an increase in the functional demand.
Acquired abnormalities
implies a reduction in the mass or size of an organ or tissue.
Atrophy
the loss of cells is due to apoptosis.
Physiological atrophy Common examples 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, and
-the reduction in fetal structures such as the umbilical vessels and ductus arteriosus.
is also termed as complete atrophy
Involution
Types of pathological atrophy includes the following:
- Nutritional atrophy
- Vascular atrophy
- Disuse atrophy
- Pressure atrophy –
- Endocrine/hormonal atrophy –
- Atrophy due to metabolic, neoplastic, or infectious diseases
(miscellaneous atrophy) –
Pathological atrophy
occurs whenever there is
-Deprivation of blood supply,
-Nutritional requirement, or
-hormonal stimulation as a result of some disease that produces trophic hormone.
due to inadequate dietary intake or in chronic starvation
Nutritional atrophy
as a result of long-standing ischemia
Vascular atrophy
