What are the 5 MAIN types of Cell adaptions?
Occurs when the cell homeostasis is distorted by stresses or pathologic stimuli
cell adaption
tendency to stability in the normal body states of the organism; it is the ability to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes
homeostasis
Cell adaption that causes cells to decrease in size and/or number of the cells and their metabolic activity after normal growth has been reached, cells are not dead, ↓ protein synthesis and ↑protein degradation in cells.
atrophy
Name some causes of atrophy?
↓ workload
denervation
↓ blood supply or oxygen
inadequate nutrition
loss of endocrine stimulation
aging (Senescence)
The cell adaptation in this picture of a larynx is described as unilateral left side is smaller and paler. What is the cell adaptation and what is this unilateral adaption allude to?
atrophy
unilateral alludes to denervation
The left is normal and the right is an age realated cell adaption known as ____
atrophy
decreased ACTH stimulation (steroid therapy) can cause what cell adaption?
atrophy
what is an example of physiologic atrophy?
non-lactating mammary glands
The hearts in the picture are the same age, which one is abnormal and which is normal? What is happening to the abnormal heart?
The left is abnormal. Serous atrophy of fat
This bone has gone under what type of atrophy?
serous fat atrophy
This hydrocephalus is due to increased CSF fluid causing what cell adaption?
cerebral cortex compression atrophy
What is the difference between atrophy, hypoplasia, and aplasia?
Increased size of cells and their functions. Synthesis of more organelles and structural proteins: bigger cells, more common in cells with little replication, stable or permanent cells: cardiomyocytes, neurons
hypertrophy
This pregnant uterus is an example of physiologic ___
hypertrophy
