Pathology of Cells- Chapter 3

Question 1

dysfunction

Answer 1

abnormal, impaired, or incomplete functioning of the body’s heirarchy of cell, tissue, organ, system, organism

Question 2

gross disease

Answer 2

dysfunction in one or more tissues

Question 3

cellular pathology

Answer 3

microscopic study involving chemical or genetic dysfuncion

Question 4

biopsy

Answer 4

surgical removal of diseased cells for study

Question 5

amyloid deposition(amyloidosis)

Answer 5

accumulation of amyloids in the cytoplasm
cell death is the usual result
rare but serious
not contagious or cancer
---alzheimers

Question 6

amyloids

Answer 6

protein like materials

Question 7

atrophy

Answer 7

decrease in the size or wasting of cell, tissue, or organ
occurs from
-undernutrition
-reduction of blood flow
-underuse

Question 8

dysplasia

Answer 8

disorderly growth pattern in tissue or organ
impacts the functioning of body structure
not cancerous

Question 9

dystrophy

Answer 9

ill growth
progressive changes due to long term...
-malnutrition
-under nutrition
-decrease in blood flow
-genetics

Question 10

fatty change

Answer 10

accumulation of fats due to cellular injury
fat disrupts normal cell and tissue function
alcohol abuse- fatty liver prevents the liver from oxidizing alcohol

Question 11

hyperplasia

Answer 11

abnormal multiplication of the number of normal cells

increases risk of cancers

Question 12

hypertrophy

Answer 12

increase in tissue or organ due to increase in cell size

not an increase in the number of cells

Question 13

metaplasia

Answer 13

change in cell and tissue function from normal to abnormal
damage may reversible or irreversible
cancerous

Question 14

metastasis

Answer 14

movement of diseased, abnormal cells away from their original location
movement establishes abnormal cells in a new area of the body

Question 15

necrosis

Answer 15

localized tissue death
caused by
-loss of blood flow
-burns
-chemical damage
-infections
-injury
