Tissue Responses and Adaptations Flashcards
what are labile cells? Give examples
continuously cycling and very proliferative
ex. epithelia of mouth, skin, gut and bladder, and bone marrow
what are quiescent tissues/stable cells? Give examples
divide infrequently but can still divide when cells are lost
ex. liver, renal tubular cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, osteocytes of CT
what are permanent cells? Give examples
non-diving tissue, divide in embryo and fetal live, cannot be replaced
ex. neurons, cardiac muscle, photoreceptors in retina
define atrophy
reduction in function mass or size of cell, tissue, or organ
define hypertorphy
increase in functional mass or size of a cell, tissue, or organ
define hyperplasia
increase in number of cells
Is atrophy, hypertrophy, and hyperplasia a reversible or irreversible change?
reversible
Label each as hypertrophy, atrophy, and hyperplasia
what is the mechanism for cell loss in physiological atrophy?
apoptosis
what are the causes of pathologic atrophy?
-vascular or ischemic atrophy
-tissue destruction
-endocrine atrophy
-abnormal decrease in functional demand
-denervation
-starvation
what is the pathogenesis of transitional cell carcinoma causing hydronephrosis?
TTC in urinary bladder > blocking ureter outflow, bilaterally > inc pressure of renal pelvis > renal cortical and medullary atrophy > hydronephrosis
what causes hyperplasia and hypertrophy?
-abnormal inc in function demand
-excessive hormonal stimulation
-reactive -response to inflammation or chronic trauma
Is the heart atrophy, hypertrophy, or hyperplasia?
hypertrophy
what organ is seen here? The right is normal and left is not - what is going on with the left?
left - hypertophy
hypertrophic cardiomyocytes
Which epithelial response to injury damages the basement membrane and which does not?
damages basement membrane - ulceration
does not damage basement membrane - erosion
what does tissue that is ulcerated get replaced by?
fibrous CT
scaring (fibrosis)
what does the tissue that is eroded get replaced by?
labile cells
which is erosion and which is ulceration?
1 - erosion
2 - ulcerated
What can cause stricture?
circumferential erosion or ulceration
Is cirrhosis reversible or irreversible?
irreversible
what is indicated by the blue tint around the portal triad?
blue = fibrous CT
How does Cardiomyocytes respond to injury?
reversible changes of atrophy and hypertrophy
permanent cells so cell death -> fibrosis (scaring)
What is the disease in this image? What is the blue?
Cirrhosis
blue = fibrous CT
what is concentric hypertrophy? does the volume inc or dec?
thickening of the heart from the outside towards the lumen
volume dec
