Pathoma 1 Flashcards
increase in size
hypertrophy
increase in number of cells
hyperplasia
organ in which hypertrophy and hyperplasia occur together
uterus
organs that undergo hypertrophy only
cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, nerve
is BPH hypertrophy or hyperplasia?
hyperplasia
does BPH increase the risk for prostate cancer?
no
decrease in size/number of cells
atrophy
decrease in cell number occurs via:
apoptosis
decrease in cell size occurs via:
- ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of cytoskeleton, 2. autophagy of cellular components
_________ occurs via reprogramming of stem cells, producing a new cell type
metaplasia
does apocrine metaplasia of the breast lead to increased risk of cancer?
no
does fibrocystic change of the breast lead to increased risk of cancer?
yes
vitamin A def.
- night blindness (metaplasia of conjunctiva/keratomalacia), 2. immune def. (APML disrupts vit. A rec.)
when muscle tissue changes to bone during healing after trauma
myositis ossificans
final electron acceptor in ETC of oxidative phosphorylation
oxygen
budd-chiari syndrome
thrombosis of hepatic v., most common cause: polycythemia vera
low partial pressure of O2 in the blood (PaO2 <90%)
hypoxemia
decreased barometric pressure resulting in decreased PAO2
high altitude
increased PACO2 resulting in decreased PAO2
hypoventilation (COPD)
PAO2 not able to push as much O2 into the blood due to a thicker diffusion barrier
diffusion defect (interstitial pulmonary fibrosis)
blood bypasses oxygenated lung (R-L shunt) or oxygenated air can’t reach blood (atelectasis)
V/Q mismatch
anemia: RBC mass normal, inc. dec.; PaO2 normal, inc. dec.; SaO2 normal, inc. dec.
RBC mass decrease, PaO2 normal, SaO2 normal
CO poisoning: PaO2 normal, inc., dec.; SaO2 normal, inc. dec.
PaO2 normal, SaO2 decreased
cyanosis w/chocolate colored blood
methemoglobinemia
causes of methemoglobinemia:
sulfa and nitrates (oxidant stress), newborns
methemoglobinemia: Fe 2+ or 3+; PaO2 normal, inc., dec.; SaO2 normal, inc. dec.
Fe3+, PaO2 normal, SaO2 decreased
ETC is part of inner or outer mitochondrial membrane?
inner
nuclear condensation
pyknosis
