✅ Patho - Cellular Response to Injury Flashcards
What caused SER Hypertrophy in the liver?
Barbiturates
Stimulus for the hypertrophy of the uterus during pregnancy
Estrogen
Define hyperplasia
Increase in the number of cells
Mechanisms of atrophy
Dec protein synthesis
Inc protein degradation (ubiquitin proteosome pathway) and autophagy
Usual cause of metaplasia
Chronic irritation
Most common metaplasia
Squamous metaplasia
Examples of squamous metaplasia
Vit A deficiency, smokers
Ex of squamous to columnar metaplasia
Barrett esophagus
Cervical cancer
Ex of connective tissue metaplasia
Myositis ossificans
First manifestation of reversible cell injury
Hydropic changes/Vacuolar degeneration
Which transport mechanism in a cell is automatically activated once cellular swelling occurs?
Na K ATPase pump
Eosinophilia is seen in necrosis. T or F
T
What are myelin figures?
Whorled phospholipid precipitates derived from damaged cell membranes; phagocytized or degraded into fatty acids which in turn may lead to calcium soap formation.
Nuclear changes
Karyolysis
Pyknosis
Karyorrhexis
Differentiate:
Karyolysis
Pyknosis
Karyorrhexis
Karyolysis - basophilia and fading of chromatin
Pyknosis - shrinkage and basophilia
Karyorrhexis - fragmentation
Localized area of coagulative necrosis
Infarct
What happens to architecture if dead tissues in coag necrosis compared to caseous?
In coag, archi is preserved for a few days while in caseation, archi is not preserved
End product of liquefactive necrosis
Pus (digestion of dead cells)
Brain undergoes what type of necrosis
Liquefactive
Granuloma formation happens in what type of necrosis?
Caseation
Other than TB, what are the other causes of caseation necrosis?
Caseate my CHS
CCHS
Cryptococcosis
Coccidiomycosis
Histoplasmosis
Syphilis
In fat necrosis, fatty acids combine with calcium to produce grossly visible chalky white areas
Saponification
2 types of fat necrosis
Enzymatic
Traumatic
