Test 1: lecture 4: Cell adaptations Flashcards
Hypertrophy and hyperplasia can___ the function
of the tissue.
increase
___ is an adaptation without apparent benefit to
the host
Dysplasia
atrophy
decrease in the mass due to decrease size or # of cells
cell shrinkage, autophagy and apoptosis
caused by disuse, starvation, loss of innervation, compression ect
what are some causes of atrophy
Nutrient deprivation - starvation
Decreased blood supply
Loss of innervation
Disuse
Pressure/compression- hydrocephalus/hydronephrosus
Loss of hormones
Physiologic
Idiopathic
pancreatic atrophy
myofibril atrophy from disuse
hydrocephalus
neural atrophy
hydronephrosis
atrophy of the kidney due to increased pressure from blockage
hypoplasia
never grew to normal size
fewer or smaller cells
(genetic?)
hypoplasia
(plasia= growth)
kidney never grew to full size
hypoplasia of trachea
common in brachiocephalic dogs
trachea never grew to normal size
hypertrophy
increase in the size of cells by increasing the number and size of organelles
increase size not number
occur in organs made of post mitotic cells (skeletal muscle and heart muscle)
can be compensatory or hormonal
when you lift weights, you are trying to cause ___ in your muscles
compensatory hypertrophy
two types of hypertrophy
compensatory → weight lifting
hormonal
___ occurs in post mitotic cells in response to stress
hypertrophy
post mitotic cells such as heart and skeletal muscle
hypertrophy of the heart
(too big)
Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition that causes the muscular walls of a cat’s heart to thicken, decreasing the heart’s efficiency and sometimes creating symptoms in other parts of the body.
