General Pathology Flashcards
It is when there is excessive physiologic stress
Cellular adaptation
Decreased in the size and function of the cell
Atrophy
Absence or failure of the cell to develop
Aplasia
Increased in the SIZE of a cell
Hypertrophy
Increased in the Number of cells
Hyperplasia
A change of one differentiated type of cells t another
Metaplasia
An alteration in size, shape, and organization of the cellular components of a tissue
Dysplasia
It is the hallmark of MALIGNANCY
Anaplasia
Organ that physiologically undergoes hypertrophy
Skeletal muscle
Organ that physiologically undergoes hyperplasia
Uterus
Organ that pathologically undergoes hypertrophy
Heart
structures that patholologically undergoes hyperplasia
kidney
gingiva
Loss of function leads to?
Atrophy
loss of blood oxygen supply leads to
ischemia
Organs sensitive to chronic ischemia
Brain
Heart
Barrett’s esophagus and Smoker’s lungs are types of what cellular adaptation
Metaplasia
Barrett’s esophagus is associated with what GI disease?
GERD
Epithelial changes in Barrett’s esophagus
Squamous cell to columnar
Epithelial changes in Smoker’s lung
Columnar cells to squamous
Most common cancer in the esophagus
Adenocarcinoma
Most common cancer in the lungs
Squamous cell carcinoma
this cellular adaptation indicates PRE-MALIGNANCY lesion
Dysplasia
What are the irritants in a cigarette?
Nicotine
Tar
Benzopyrenes
What causes cancer in the smoker’s lung?
Benzopyrenes
What causes addiction in a cigar?
Nicotine
Theory that states there is an induction of chemical carcinogens in the body causing deletion of the normal cells.
Deletion Theory
Types of cell injury that regenerate with or without injury.
LABILE
Types of cell injury that regenerate with injury.
STABLE
Types of cell injury that will not regenerate if injured
PERMANENT
Types of Labile cells
Epithelium
Urinary cell
Hematopoietic tissue
Types of STABLE cells
Liver
Kidney
Pancreas
Types of permanent cells
Neurons
Skeletal muscle
Cardiac muscle cell
