A

Decrease functions
1- muscles limb due to prolonged immobilization
2- renal tubules after fibrosis of glomeruli in chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis

25
Q

2 examples of pressure atrophy

A

Long continued pressure on a tissue often cuts its blood supply

1- aortic aneurism cause atrophy in sternum and vertebral and not intervertebral disc ( avascular )
2- liver atrophy in amyloidosis

26
Q

2 examples Vascular ( ischemic atrophy)

A

1- coronary atherosclerosis cause atrophy of heart muscle
2- atherosclerosis of renal artery cause renal atrophy

27
Q

A

When a motor nerve supplying a muscle is cut the muscle undergoes atrophy e.g : in poliomyelitis

Q

Why inflammation is protective response

A

1- eliminates the initial cause of cell injury
2- remove necrotic cells and tissue
3- initiate the process of repair

38
Q

4 steps of local vascular reactions

A

1- vasoconstriction ( for seconds) by the direct effect of the irritant
2- vasodilation : associated with increase arterial blood flow ( active hyperemia ) by action of histamine

3- increases vascular permeability: histamine cause endothelial cells to contract and wide the inter endothelial gaps

4- slowing of blood flow ( stasis) due to
A- increase vascular viscosity
B- swelling of vascular endothelium which becomes sticky and offer resistance to blood flow

39
