Q

what are the features of adult stem cells?

A
  • undifferentiated cell found amongst differentiated cells in tissue/organ
  • can renew itself and can differentiate to major cell types of tissue/organ (multipotent)
  • primary roles of adult stem cells in living tissue is maintenance and repair

Q

what are the features of embryonic stem cells?

A
  • defined by origin, inner cell mass of blastocyst
  • can become all types of cells in the body (pluripotents)

Q

how are skin cells regenerated?

A

skin stem cells are found in a bulge under the sebaceous gland. They translocate to the basal layer of the epidermis

Q

how to cells adapt to environmental changes?

A

homeostatic mechanisms

  • physiological conditions- to adapt to normal changes
    -Pathological conditions- to limit damage in response to disease processes

17
Q

what is dysplasia?

A

presence of abnormal type of cells

18
Q

what is neoplasia?

A

New, uncontrolled growth of cells

19
Q

how do cells alter their pattern of growth in response to tolerable environmental changes?

A

Cell size
Cell division
Cell differentiation

20
Q

what is an example of physiological adaptation?

A

breast epithelial cells increase in size and number during pregnancy under endocrine stimulation

21
Q

what is an example of pathological adaptation?

A

Endometrial cells increase in number under abnormal endocrine stimulation from oestrogen-secreting ovarian tumours.

22
Q

what is tissue atrophy?

A

decrease in cell number/size

23
Q

what is cell atrophy?

A

decrease in cell size

24
Q

what is metaplasia?

A

one mature, fully differentiated cell type adopts totally different fully differentiated cell type

morphology changes in response to cellular environment

adaptive response - cells are better equipped to withstand new environment

common in epithelial tissue

25
Q

what is Barrett’s oesophagus?

A

-metaplastic transformation of the esophageal lining
- squamous epithelium typical of normal oesophagus
-columnar cells with goblet cells, typical of intestinal type of epithelium

26
Q

what is dysplasia?

A

-the presence of abnormal cells
-increased rate of cell division coupled with incomplete maturation of immature cells

27
Q

what are some examples of dysplasia?

A

-epidermis of sun exposed skin
-squamous epithelium at columnar junction of cevix

28
Q

how does dysplasia effect skin?

A

loss of cell maturation due to increase rate of cell division
nuceli present in keratin layer

29
Q

how does dysplasia effect the cervical epithelium?

A

increased number of the more basal, nucleated cells reaching the vagina.

30
Q

how can dysplasia of the cervical epithelium lead to neoplasm?

A

there is a spectrum of progression, with the stratified layer losing its differentiation and becoming neoplastic

31
Q

what is a neoplastic state?

A

poorly regulated cell division in which mass of cells form (neoplasm)

Cellular proliferation and growth occur in absence of any continuing external stimulus

Neoplastic cells exhibit various states of differentiation and commonly fail to achieve highly differentiated state

32
Q

what are the events in neoplastic formation?

A

-stimulus causes genetic alteration to the cell

  • altered genes for, growth factors, growth factor receptors, signal transduction, transcription regulation, DNA repair, cell survival
  • transformed cell proliferates with poor regulation of growth as a result of genetic changes and develops additional mutations
33
Q

what is benign in surface epithelium?

A

papilloma

34
Q

what is malignant in surface epithelium?

A

carcinoma

35
Q

what is benign in solid glandular epithelium?

A

adenoma

36
Q

what is malignant in solid glandular epithelium?

A

adenocarcinoma

37
Q

what is benign?

A

well defined- similar structure to the tissue of origin
Progress and slow

38
Q

what is malignant?

A

can lack differentiation
Erratic growth
Locally invasive
Matastatic

39
Q

what are the cellular events needed for metastasis?

A

detachment from the main neoplasm

breaking through the basememt membranse and connective tissue

molility

enter the passage for movement (lymph, blood stream)

enter another tissue

40
Q

how do tumours spread?

A

4 main routes
- local
-trans-coelomic (peritoneal, pleural)
-Lymphatic
-Blood borne

41
Q

what are three ways to classify epithelium?

A

Morphologically
Surface specializations
Surface or glandular
