PIGMENT & TISSUE DEPOSITS Flashcards
types of lipids which can accumulate:
- TRIGLYCERIDES
- INHERITED STORAGE DISEASE
- CHOLESTEROL ACCUMULATION
2 Types of lipid accumulation:
- INTRACELLULAR
- ADIPOSE TISSUE INFILTRATION
adipos tissue infiltration can be seen in?
SKELETAL AND MYOCARDIAL
adipose tissue infiltration sometimes called?
muscle steatosis
accumulation of lipids in smooth muscle cells
and macrophages in walls of arteries / arterioles
ATHEROSCLEROSIS
tumor like masses in skin formed by clusters of
foamy macrophages; seen with inherited or acquired hyperlipidemic states.
XANTHOMAS
excessive intracellular deposits of glycogen, seen in glycogen metabolis.
GLUCOSE ACCUMULATION
3 types of accumulation:
- LIPID ACCUMULATION
- GLYCOGEN ACCUMULATION
- PROTEIN ACCUMULATION
is the name given to any substance, intracellular or extracellular, which has a homogeneous, glassy, eosinophilic appearance;
This is “protein in nature”
HYALINE
is a nonspecific term for hyaline material within an arterial wall.
FIBRINOID
the presence of plasma proteins / Ag-Ab / complement within a damaged vascular wall causes intense eosinophilic staining
FIBRINOID NECROSIS
a result of immunoglobulin
accumulating in the cisternae of the RER.
RUSSEL BODIES OF PLASMA CELLS
defects in protein folding can cause:
- “unfolded protein response”-
- aggregates of misfolded proteins
a pathologic proteinaceous substance
(95% amyloid fibrils) which is resistant to proteolysis.
AMYLOID
are insoluble aggregates that result from the self-assembly of abnormally folded proteins
AMYLOID FIBRILS
a disorder of protein folding in which normally soluble proteins are deposited as abnormal, insoluble fibrils that disrupt tissue structure and
function.
AMYLOIDOSIS
Most common form of amyloid:
- PROTEIN AA
- PROTEIN AL
- FAMILIAL AMYLOID
- ENDOCRINE AMYLOID
- OTHER AMYLOID
an “acute-phase” protein calles SERUM AMYLOID A in chronic inflammation.
PROTEIN AA
derived from immunoglobulin light chain w/ plasma cell.
PROTEIN AL
eg. sharpei dogs, abyssian cat
FAMILIAL AMYLOID
this is derived from polypeptide hormones or phoromones in neoplastic or denegerative
ENDOCRINE AMYLOID
example are misfolded protein and amyloid plaques
OTHER AMYLOIDES
gross appearnce of amyloid:
- ORGAN- normal/enlarged
2.STAIN- BROWN OR BLACK
site of amyloid:
- RENAL
- LIVER
3.PANCREAS - SPLEEN
- SKIN
- VESSELS WALLS
Types of endogenous pigments:
- LIPOFUSCIN
- CEROID
- MELANIN
- COPPER
- HEMOSIDERIN
- BILIRUBIN
- HEMATOIDIN
- ACID-HEMATIN
also known as “wear & tear” & “ aging pigment”
lipofuscin
site of lipofuscin :
- AGED CELLS
- MYOCARDIAL CELLS
- NEURONS
- CHRONICALLY INIJURED CELLS
gross apearance of lipofuscin:
YELLOW - BROWN discoloration of tissue
microscope appearance:
1.GOLDEN BROWN
2. GRANULAR
3. INTRACELLULAR PIGMENT
significance of lipofuscin:
does not injured cell/ but shows sign of aging
disorders characterized by the excess storage of lipofuscin.
LIPOFUSCINOSIS
variant of lipofuscin which is acid-fast positive and autofluorescent
CEROID
