Robbins: Cell injury and Cell death Flashcards
book based
study of the structural, biochemical, and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs that underlie disease
pathology
concerned in the common reactions of cells and tissues to injurious stimuli.
general pathology
examines the alterations and underlying mechanisms in diseases of particular organ systems
systemic pathology
initiating cause of disease
etiology
sequence of molecular, bio-chemical, and cellular events that lead to the development of disease
pathogenesis
predict disease progression and therapeutic responses
biomarkers
structural alterations in cells or tissues that are
characteristic of a disease and hence diagnostic of an etiologic process
morphologic changes
end results of genetic, biochemical, and structural changes inn cell and tissues.
clinical manifestation
four aspects of a disease process
etiology
pathogenesis
morphologic changes
clinical manifestation
father of modern
pathology
rudolf virchow
healthy steady state
homeostasis
reversible functional and
structural responses to changes in physiologic
states.
adaptations
increase in size
hypertrophy
increase in cell number
hyperplasia
decrease in size and cell number
atrophy
change in phenotype of cells
metaplasia
normal and essential process in embryogenesis
cell death
reduced blood flow
ischemia
accidental cell death; consequence of severe injury
necrosis
regulated cell death; induced by a tightly regulated suicide program
apoptosis
nutrient deprivation triggers an adaptive cellular response; cell eats its own contents
autophagy
calcium deposited at
sites of cell death
pathologic calcification
deficiency of oxygen
hypoxia
mechanical trauma,
extremes of temperature, etc.
