Growth Adaptations Flashcards
Mechanism of hyperplasia
Production of new cells from stem cells
Mechanism of Hypertrophy
Gene activation, protein synthesis and production of organelles
Which tissues undergo hypertrophy only?
Cardiac Myocytes
Skeletal muscle
Nerve
What type of hyperplasia is Benign Prostatic hyperplasia
the only pathologic hyperplasia that don’t progress to dysplasia nor cancer
Mechanism of Action of atrophy
Ubiquitin- proteosome degradation pathway of cytoskeleton
Autopahgy of cellular components
example of pathological hyperplasia and physiologic hyperplasia
pathologic: Endometrial hyperplasia
Physiologic: Pregnancy
Mechanism of Metaplasia
Reprogramming of stem cells
Type of metaplasic cells in barret esopahgus
Columnar nonciliated mucinous epithelim
What metaplasic change don’t increase the risk of cancer
Apocrine Metaplasia
