Unit 2 Part 2 Flashcards
Study of disease
Pathology
infection, genetic etc. and often mutifactoral
Etiology of cause
Progression of disease
Pathogenesis
Signs and symptoms
Clinical manifestations
Pathology 4 studies
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Molecular and morphologic changes
Clinical manifestations
Structural and functional units of tissues and organs
Cells
Capable of adjusting their structure and functions in response to physiological and pathological conditions
Cell adaptation
New steady state
Preserving viability
Adaptation
Cell poliferation (3 variables)
Labile
Stable
Permanent
Continously dividing
Labile cells
Labile cells example
Epithelium
Bone marrow
Hematopoietic cells
Quiescent
In g0 stage
Stable cells
Stable cells example
Hepatocytes
Smooth muscle
Lmphocytes
Nondividing
Permanent cells
Permanent cells example
Neurons
Skeletal and cardiac muscle
Types of adaptations are conrolled by
Complex molecular mechanisms
Types of cellular adaptation
Hypertrophy
Hyperplasia
Atrophy
Metaplasia
Dysplasia*
normal stressor/stimuli; results in enhanced function
Phsyiologic adaptation
abnormal stressor/stimuli; results in dysfunction and mortality
Pathologic
adaptation to positively counteract reduction in function
Compensatory adaptation
Increase in size; organ enlargement
No new cells
Increase in mrna and proteins
Hypertrophy
in response to increased demands
seen in cells that cannot divide
changes usually revert to normal if cause is removed
Hypertrophy
Gym body
Physiologic hypertrophy
Heart of patient with long standing hypertension
Pathologic hypertrophy
Increased number of cells
Co-exist with hypertrophy
Takes place IF cell if capable of replication
Hyperplasia
Female breast in puberty and pregnancy
Physiologic hyperplasia
Excessive hormonal stimulation
Pathologic hyperplasia
Hypertrophy and hyperplasia example
Gravid uterus during pregnancy
Loss of substance-Shrinkage in the size of cell
Sufficient number of cells is involved
Entire tissue or organ diminishes in size
Not dead
Atrophy
Atrophy results from both
Decreased protein synthesis
Increased protein degradation
Lysosomes with hydrolytic enzymes
Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway
Increased protein degradation
Brain atrophy
Uterus atrophy
Physiologic atrophy
Inadequate nutrition (malnutrition)
Diminished blood supply
Pathologic atrophy
-Reversible change
-Adult cell type is replaced by another cell type for adverse envi
-occurs in response to stress or chronic irritation
Metaplasia
Mechanisms of metaplasia
Re-programming of stem cells
Induced by cytokines, growth factors, envi signals
Retinoic acid may play a role
Unknown exact mechanism
Metaplasia SOM
Squamous
Osseous
Myeloid
Cigarette smoking
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Glandural epithelium
Squamous metaplasia
TRUE OF FALSE
Atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, and metaplasia are reversible changes
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE
Hyperplasia and Metaplasia are not premalignant changes
TRUE
Fertile fields for dysplasia
Hyperplasia and metaplasia
Atypical proliferative changes
due to chronic irritation or inflammation
Cells vary in size and shape
Large nuclei
Increased rate of mitosis
Premalignant change
Dysplasia
