TYPES OF CELLULAR ADAPTATION
5
Atrophy Hypertrophy Hyperplasia Metaplasia Dysplasia
Shrinkage in the size of the cell by loss of cell substance May ultimately lead to cell death
ATROPHY
Atrophy classified as _ due to decreased work load (e.g., decreased size of uterus following child birth, or disease)
physiologic
Atrophy classified as _ primarily due to denervation of muscle, diminished blood supply, nutritional deficiency
pathologic
Cause by increased functional demand or specific hormonal stimulation
hypertrophy
Increase in the size of cells which results in an increase in the size of the organs
hypertrophy
mostly seen in cells that cannot divide, such as skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle
HYPERTROPHY
Increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue, leading to increased organ or tissue size
Occurs if the cellular population is capable of synthesizing DNA, permitting mitotic division
hyperplasia
hyperplasia can be classified as __ if Increased local production of growth factor receptors on the responding cells activating transcription factors and leading to cell proliferation
physiologic
hyperplasia can be classified as __ Stimulation of growth factors
Excessive hormonal stimulation
Viral infection (papilloma viruses) May give rise to neoplasms
pathologic
Autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse goiter, hyperthyroidism, and exophthalmos.
HYPERTHYROIDISM (GRAVES DISEASE)
Immune mechanism: IgG antibodies vs. TSH receptor (agonists), increasing thyroid hormone secretion.
HYPERTHYROIDISM (GRAVES DISEASE)
pathology of HYPERTHYROIDISM (GRAVES DISEASE)
dark red, meaty; tall columnar epithelium with intraluminal papillae.
Proliferation of prostatic glands and stroma resulting in enlargement of the gland with obstruction of urine flow through the bladder outlet.
NODULAR HYPERPLASIA, PROSTATE GLAND
pathogenesis of NODULAR HYPERPLASIA, PROSTATE GLAND
Pathogenesis: unknown; altered normal ratio of testosterone to estrogen that develops in the elderly.
gross manifestation of NODULAR HYPERPLASIA, PROSTATE GLAND
Gross: nodular, enlarged, rubbery
micro manifestation of NODULAR HYPERPLASIA, PROSTATE GLAND
Micro: fibromuscular & glandular hyperplasia
Usually secondary to chronic stimulation by corticotropin
ADRENAL CORTICAL HYPERPLASIA
chronic stimulation by corticotropin due to
2
Primary hypersecretion of corticotropin by pituitary
(Cushing disease)
Ectopic corticotropin production by nonpituitary
tumor
Bilateral diffuse or nodular hyperplasia of
adrenal glands
ADRENAL CORTICAL HYPERPLASIA
clinical manifestations (2) of ADRENAL CORTICAL HYPERPLASIA
Cushing syndrome (obesity, moon facies, osteoporosis, HPN, amenorrhea, virilization) Primary aldosteronism (Conn syndrome)
Primary aldosteronism
conn syndrome
(obesity, moon facies, osteoporosis, HPN, amenorrhea, virilization)
Cushing syndrome
what syndrome: hypersecretion of corticotropin
Cushing syndrome
roliferative lesions of the endometrium usually resulting from hyperestrinism
endometrial hyperplasia
Transformation or replacement of one adult cell type to another adult cell type
Reversible
METAPLASIA
Thought to arise from reprogramming of stem or
undifferentiated cells that are present in adult tissue.
METAPLASIA
most common metaplasia
columnar to squamous
also occurs in mesenchymal tissue (e.g., formation of bone in skeletal muscle).
METAPLASIA
abnormalgrowthanddifferentiation
variations in size and shape of cells
enlargement, irregularity, and hyperchromasia of nuclei
disorderly arrangement of cells within the epithelium
DYSPLASIA
apreneoplasticlesion(astageinthecellular evolution to cancer)
DYSPLASIA
type of cellular adaptation
minor degrees are associated with chronic irritation or inflammation.
DYSPLASIA
most frequently encountered in metaplastic squamous epithelium of the respiratory tract and uterine cervix.
DYSPLASIA
strongly implicated as a precursor of cancer.
DYSPLASIA
Term used when the limits of adaptive response are exceeded, or when the cell is exposed to an injurious agent or stress
The affected cells may recover from the injury (reversible) or may die (irreversible).
CELL INJURY
screening test for cervical cancer
Pap smear
CIN meaning
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
CIN lower 1/3
CIN 1
CIN lower 2/3
CIN 2
CIN full thickness
CIN 3
ETHANOL in pap smear is for
preserving/preservative
features of reversible cell injury [2]
Cellular swelling and vacuoles formation (Hydropic changes)
Fatty changes
Ultratructural changes of reversible cell injury
blebbing of the plasma membrane, swelling of mitochondria and dilatation of ER
The changes are produced by enzymatic digestion of dead cellular elements, denaturation of proteins and autolysis (by lysosomal enzymes)
what type of cell injury
irreversible/necrosis
