LN 07 (Disturbance of Growth) Flashcards
sequence of events comprising mitosis
cell cycle
cell cytoplasm and nuclei become enlarge and the nucleoli become prominent, and there occur active production of proteins and ribonucleic acid
G1 phase
marked by active synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and occupies about 30-40% of the cycle
S phase
phase wherein other preparations for cellular division takes place, and occupies another 10-20% of the cycle
G2 phase
daughter cells are produced which undergo terminal differentiation and are no longer capable of cellular division
M phase (Mitotic phase)
may result in either excess or a deficit of tissue, or may
produce an abnormal pattern of development
disturbances in growth
malformations present at birth
congenital
suggests a complete failure of that tissue or organ to develop
and is therefore absent
agenesis
failure of the tissue or organ to grow and
therefore a rudimentary organ is present
aplasia
used to refer to failure of a tissue to renew itself
aplasia
failure of bone marrow to renew itself that leads to
aplastic anemia
refers to failure of an organ to reach its normal size
hypoplasia
Examples of hypoplasia
- Renal hypoplasia
- Testicular hypoplasia
means absence or closure of a normal body opening
atresia
atresia ani is common in
pigs
adaptive changes of cells and tissues to various
noxious stimuli, particularly those that persist for long periods creating an
increase in the functional demand
acquired abnormalities
implies a reduction in the mass or size of an organ or tissue
atrophy
reduction due to a decrease in the number of cells
numerical atrophy
reduction in the size of individual cells
quantitative atrophy
atrophy that is due to apoptosis
numerical atrophy
occurs in many tissues as part of the normal involution of tissues and organs
physiological atrophy
Mechanic of Physiological atrophy
Do not receive
adequate hormonal stimulation and are no longer wanted
Common examples of atrophy
- involution of the thymus as the animal matures,
- reduction in the
mammary glands of males of species - postpartum changes in the uterus,
- reduction in fetal structures such as the umbilical vessels and ductus arteriosus
also termed as complete atrophy
involution
Pathological atrophy occurs whenever there is deprivation of blood supply, nutritional requirement, or hormonal stimulation as a result of some disease that produces
trophic hormone
due to inadequate dietary intake or in chronic
starvation
nutritional atrophy
as a result of long-standing ischemia
vascular atrophy
due to reduced functional activity such as those
occurring in paralyzed limbs or those held immobile for some time
disuse atrophy
