Pathoma Flashcards
Hypertrophy
increase in cell size
hyperplasia
increase in cell number
happen together in response to stress to increase organ size
hypertrophy and hyperplasia
example of physiologic hyperplasia with hypertrophy
pregnancy
permanent tissues that only undergo hypertrophy
skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and nerve
pathologic precursor to dysplasia
hyperplasia
pathologic precursor to cancer
dysplasia
only hyperplasia that shows no increased risk of cancer
Bph
decrease in stress yields a decrease in organ size
atrophy
to pathways to atrophy
apoptosis and ubiquitin-proteosome degradation
degradation of intermediate filaments of cytoskeleton. tagged with ubiquitin and destroyed by proteosomes
ubiquitine -proteosome pathway
autophagy of cell components to produce vacuoles that fuse with lysosomes for breakdown.
ubiquitine-proteosome pathway
organ stress leads to change in cell type
metaplasia
urothelial
transitional epithelium
example of metaplasia, non-keratinizing squamous epithelium to non-ciliated mucin producing columnar cells
barrett’s esophagus
reversible tissue changes
metaplasia and dysplasia
irreversible tissue changes
carcinoma
may progress to adenocarcinoma of the esophagus
Barrett’s
only metaplasia that will not progress to cancer
apocrine metaplasia of the breast
metaplasia as a result of vitamine A deficiency. squamous lining of conjunctiva to strat keratinizing squamous epithelium
keratomalacia
muscle tissue changes to bone in healing from traumatic injury
myositis ossificans - Mesenchymal (connective tissues) undergoing metaplasia
dissordered cell growth
dysplasia
