Q1 Exam 1 Flashcards
pyknosis
irreversible condensation of chromatin in the nucleus
karyorrhexis
nuclear fragmentation
karyolysis
extremely pale nucleus (can even later disappear entirely)
what differs with necrosis vs apoptosis?
necrosis- swelling and inflammation, cell pops
apoptosis- cell shrinks, no inflammation, releases apoptotic bodies with cell membrane intact
initiator caspases
extrinsic - caspase 8
intrinsic - caspase 9
executioner caspases
caspase 3, 6, 7, 12
7 signs of necrosis
eosinophilia, glassy appearance, cytoplasmic vacuolation, karyolysis, ghost cells, nearby leukocytes, dystrophic calcification
labile cells
continuously cycling cells, typically stem cell pool present, ex. mouth, skin, gut and bladder, bone marrow
quiescent tissue
stable cells, divide infrequently but can be stimulated to divide (in G0), ex. most cells in the body
permanent cells
non dividing tissues, have very little regenerative capacity, ex. neurons, cardiac muscle, and photoreceptors
causes of pathologic atrophy
abnormal decrease in functional demand, denervation, starvation
causes of pathologic hyperplasia and hypertrophy
abnormal increase in functional demand, excessive hormonal stimulation, or reactive/inflammatory
concentric hypertrophy
heart hypertrophy from the outside toward the lumen
eccentric hypertrophy
circumference gets bigger, not wall thickness (addition of sarcomeres in series)
cavitation
results from significant damage to the brain
anthracosis
black carbon pigment found in the lung, associated with air pollutants
tyrosinase
copper containing enzyme that oxidizes tyrosine to melanin
lipofuscin
endogenous yellow brown pigment, “wear and tear” pigment formed from autophagocytosis that accumulates naturally over time
ceroid
endogenous yellow green pigment that is bad for cells, can accumulate with specific pathologic conditions
jaundice
yellow pigmentation due to presence of bilirubin
hematin
brown pigment that is an artifact of formic acid and heme
gout pathogenesis
absence of enzyme uricase cannot convert uric acid to allantoin
amyloidosis
deposits accumulate often secondary to inflammation because of acute phase proteins (stains with congo red and apple green bioflumaofn (idk))
calcinosis circumscripta
localized calcium deposits, purple crystals under HE
major structural component of extracellular matrix
type 1 collagen
4 causes of edema
increased permeability, increased hydrostatic pressure (hepatic and heart failure, RAAS), decreased osmotic pressure, decreased lymphatic drainage
canine congenital lymphedema
abnormal development of lymphatic vessels leads to interstitial swelling and edema
