PPT 1 Flashcards
Benign
Tumors that grow locally without invading adjacent tissue
Malignant
Tumors that invade nearby tissues
Epithelia
Sheets of cells that line the walls of cavities and channels or cover the body
Basement membrane
made of extracellulair membrane (ECM) and separates the epithelial cells from underlying cells
Carcinomas
Kanker die ontstaat uit epitheel cellen
Voorbeelden epitheel cellen
Gastrointestinal tract (mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines), skin, mammary gland, pancreas, lung, liver, ovary, uterus, prostate, gallbladder, and urinary bladder
2 typen epithelial-origin cancers
- Squamous cell carcinomas: Cells forming a protective layers in the epithelium
- Adenocarcinomas: specialized cells that secrete substances into the ducts or cavities (klierkanker) (Borst, darm, long, prostaat, maag, alvleesklier, baarmoeder, slokdarm)
Sarcomas
Kanker die niet van epithele oorsprong komt
(o fibroblasts and related collagen-secreting cells , adipocytes (store fat in their cytoplasm), osteoblasts, (form bone), myocytes (form muscle))
Hematopeotic cancer
blood forming
erythrocytes, T, B, lymphocytes
leukemia
Nervous system cancer
gliomas, glioblastomas, neuroblastomas, schwannomas and medulloblastomas
Transdiffertiation
cell moves from one differentiation lineage, or fenotype, to another
(wisselt “functie/soort”)
Teratomas
arise form germ cell (egg/sperm) precursors that persist at inappropriate sires in the developing fetus, retaining the ability to generate most tissues. The cells in different sectors of common teratomas create adult-like tissues
Dedifferentiation
a cellular process by which cells grow in reverse, from a partially or terminally differentiated stage to a less differentiated stage within their own lineage
Anaplastic
no longer possible to identify the tissues from which they have arisen
Hyperplastic growth
excessive numbers of cells, which nevertheless retain the ability to assemble into tissues that appear reasonably normal
