histologically what is the difference between hepatic lipidosis and a glycogen accumulation in the liver
in hepatic lipidosis the nuclei is often pushed to periphery and vacuoles have distinct borders
and while glycogen accumulation in the liver the nuclei stays central and vacuoles have irregular or indistinct borders
what organ is this and what is the problem

describe caseous necrosis
cheesy, coagulative granulomatous reaction
(ex lung tuberculosis)
describe fat necrosis

(ex acute pancreatitis)
describe gangrenous necrosis
necrosis due to ischemia of distal extremities (moist dry and gas)
what type of necrosis is this?
coagulative necrosis
-on the left it is showing dry necrosis, the myofibril cells are fragmented, nuclei lost, leukocytes are present to clear sarcoplasmic debris
what type of necrosis is this?
suppurative necrosis
-this is a form of liquefactive necrosis
-acute inflammatory cells release proteolytic enzymes that destroy the surrounding tissue
histologically when you are looking at a tissue that is necrosis what do you expect to see?

-karyolysis
-ghost cells
define infarction
obstruction of the blood supply to an organ or tissue causing local death of the tissue

-granulomatous inflammation
what type of necrosis is this?
coagulative necrosis
what are labile cells? give some examples
continuously cycling
-epithelia of the mouth, skin, gut and bladder, and bone marrow cells
what are quiescent tissue (stable cells)? give some examples
-divide infrequently but can be stimulated to divide when cells are lost
- liver, renal tubular cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, and osteocytes of connective tissue
what are permanent cells? give some examples
-non dividing tissue
-cells cannot be replaced when lost and they have very limited capacity to divide
-neurons, cardiac muscle cells, and photoreceptors in retina
atrophy
reduction in the function mass or size of the cell, tissue, or organ
hypertrophy
increase in the functional mass or size of a cell, tissue, or organ
hyperplasia
increase in the number of cells
difference between ulceration and erosion
ulceration destroys the basement membrane and erosion doesn’t touch the basement membrane
concentric hypertrophy
develops in a concentric fashion, thickening from the outside toward the lumen
eccentric hypertrophy
caused by addition of sarcomeres in series leading to enlarge and dilate chamber with relative wall thinning
can the brain regenerate or undergo fibrosis?
no it cannot, significant damage results in cavitation
what are the key responses to bone injury and the healing process
-bone can alter its shape or mass
-bone can be replaced with woven bone (new bone) rather than lamellar (pre-existing)
-periostieum can form bone
what is exogenous pigmentation
a pigment taken on from an external source
-anthracosis (carbon) like smokers
what is endogenous pigmentation
a pigment produced by the cell
-melanin, lipofusion, ceroid
what are hematogenous pigments
hemoglobin, parasite hematin (fluke exhaust0, hemosiderin, bilirubin
what histological features distinguish them?
cellular atypia
why did the coat change?
-copper deficiency
tyrosinase needs copper in order to make melanin
what is lipofusion and what type of pigmentation is it?
-endogenous pigmentation
-yellow-brown

acid-fast stain
difference between dystrophic calcification and metastatic calcification (hypercalcemia)
-dystrophic is localized and blood Ca levels are normal
-metastatic calcification has high calcium blood levels, calcium deposits throughout the body
identify pynkinosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis, and the normal nucleus
give pathogenesis
coagulative necrosis caused by ischemia following NSAID use (renal papillary necrosis)
-local prostaglandin synthesis protects glomeruli and tubules from ischemia. inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by NSAIDs via inhibition of COX1 and 2 predisposes kidney to hypoperfusion and to ischemia > then papillary necrosis
what is edema
abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial and body cavities
what are four causes of edema
- increased microvascular permeability (leaky vessels)
- increased vascular hydrostatic pressure
- decreased intravascular osmotic pressure
- decreased lymphatic drainage
what are the two major causes of non-inflammatory edema and transudate

-heart failure (increase hydrostatic pressure)
function of albumin
helps keep fluid from leaking out of blood vessels
where is albumin produced
