Pathology - Cellular Response Flashcards
Physiologic hypertrophy
Athletes
Pregnant uterus
Pathologic hypertrophy
Hypertension
Constitute an increase in the NUMBER of cells in an organ or tissue resulting into increased volume size
Hyperplasia
SHRINKAGE in the size of the cell by loss of cell substance
Atrophy
Causes of Atrophy
Decreased workload Diminished blood supply Inadequate nutrition Aging Loss of endocrine stimulation
Reversible change in which one adult cell type is replaced by another adult cell type
Metaplasia
Example of metaplasia from squamous to columnar
Barrett’s esophagus
Cervix
DISORGANIZED cellular architecture
Dysplasia
Most common cause of injury
Hypoxia
Major cause of hypoxia
Ischemia
Cardiopulmonary failure
Decrease O2 carrying capacity of blood
Example of ischemia
Atherosclerosis
Thrombosis
Due to cell membrane injury
Phospholipids
Due to DNA damage
Endonucleases
Programmed cell death
Apoptosis
Pro-apoptotic
Bax
Bad
Bak
Anti-apoptotic
Bcl-2
Morphologic change that follow cell death in living tissue
Necrosis
Initiate cell death
Caspases
Caspases is initiated by
Cytochrome C
IRREVERSIBLE condensation of chromatin in the nucleus of a cell undergoing necrosis or apoptosis
Pyknosis or Karyopyknosis
FRAGMENTATION of the nucleus
Karyorrhexis
DISINTEGRATION and DISSOLUTION of a cell nucleus when a cell dies
Karyolysis
A kind of necrosis most common in solid organs
Coagulative necrosis
Preserve architecture
Coagulative necrosis
GHOST CELLS
Coagulative necrosis
Most common cause of coagulative necrosis
Ischemia
Due to digestion of enzymes
Liquefactive necrosis
Example of Liquefactive necrosis
Acute Cerebral Infarct
Cheese like appearance
Caseation necrosis
Lysed cells surrounded by inflammatory cells
Caseation necrosis
Example of Caseation necrosis
TB granuloma
Enzyme involve in fat necrosis
Lipase
Digest fat within the area
Fat + Calcium
Saponification
