Pathology, Irene Gold Flashcards
Types of Necrosis?
Coagulation Liquefactive Gangrenous Caseous Fat Fibrinoid
Coagulative Necrosis
Infarctions of solid organs, cut off of blood
Liquefactive Necrosis
Dead cells are completely digested, liquid viscous mass in CNS or from infections
Gangrenous Necrosis
Types of coagulative necrosis resulting from ischemia in the lower extremity
Caseous Necrosis
Cheese like appearance, typical of a TB infections (granuloma surrounds the necrosis)
Fat Necrosis
Local area of fat distruction, typical from leaked pancreatic enzymes causing saponification (Soap) in the peritoneal cavity
Fibrinoid Necrosis
Autoimmune reactions involving antigens and antibodies are deposited into vascular walls ( bright pink ring stain)
Developmental Changes
Agenesis
Hypoplasia
Aplasia
Agenesis Development
Never Formed, absence of an organ
Hypoplasia Development
Organ smaller than normal and defective
Aplasia Developmet
lack of development, small remnants of the organ present
Two main types of cancer
Carcinoma and sarcoma
Carcinoma
Cancer of epithelial tissue that usually spreads by way of the lymphatic system
Sarcoma
Cancer of connective tissue that usually spreads by BLOOD
Bacteremia
bacteria in the blood
Septicemia
pathogens or toxins in the blood
Anoxia
absence of oxygen
Hypoxia
deficiency of oxygen
Thrombus
platelet deposition
Clot
Fibrinogen into fibrin via thromboplastin
