Exam 1 Flashcards
Adeno
granular
Lei
smooth
Rhabdo
skeletal
Anaplasia
lack of differentiation
Dysplasia
disordered growth
- reversible
- increased mitotic figures
Malignancy- 6 requirements
- acquire self growth signals & turn off inhibitory signals
- evade apoptosis
- deficits in DNA repair
- unlimited dividing
- promote angiogenesis
- invade surrounding tissue
Inhibitors and Promoters
Inhibitors- damage and mutate
Promotors- increase cell number by cell cycle
Protooncogenes and oncogenes
&
Mechanism (TAPO)
Protooncogenes= normal cell growth by division
When ON= bad:
Oncogenes= further divide bad cells= produce neoplasm
T- translocation
A- amplification
P- point mutation
O- overexpression
Tumor suppressor genes
When OFF= bad (uncontrolled growth)
slow down cell growth
Cytokines
Produced by tumor
Leads to Cachexia= loss of body fat and muscle
signaling and communication
Paraneoplastic syndromes
PASE
“Stop” this is not what I am !
side effect not usually associated with cell type tumor
Parathyroid- hypercalcemia
ACTH- Cushing’s syndrome- hypercortisolism
SIADH
Erythropoietin
Tumor markers
CEA- colon & pancreatic AFP- liver B-HCG- chorio CA-125- ovarian S-100- melanoma Alkaline- bony
Grade
differentiation
Stage
size and how far it has spread
0= in situ 4= spread
TNM scale
Used in staging
Ecto
epidermis epithelium eyes mouth nails nose
(outer)
Epithelium
covers surfaces of any organ- ecto, meso or endo origin
Meso
connective tissue muscle bone fat cardiovascular lymph system
(middle)
Endo
GI
Respiratory
(outer)
Embryonic stem cells
blastocytes
Adult stem cells
various tissues
Stroma
supportive tissue
Parenchyma
functional tissue
Connective tissue
meso
dense= ligaments, fascia, tendons loose= areolar- swelling
