Atrophy E. Cells decrease in size
P. Still functional; imbalance between protein
synthesis and degradation. Essentially there is an
increase in the catabolism of intracellular
organelles, reducing structural components of
cell
Physiologic: thymus gland in early childhood
Pathological: disuse (muscle atrophy d/ decrease
workload, pressure, use, blood supply, nutrition,

Hyperplasia E: cells increase in number, mitosis (cell division)
must occur, size of cell does not change
Phys: increased rate of division, increase in tissue
mass after damage or partial resection; may be
compensatory, hormonal, or pathologic
Patho: abnormal proliferation of normal cells
usually caused by increased hormonal
stimulation (endometrial). increase of production
of local growth factors
Ex: removal of part of the liver lead to
hyperplasia of hepatocytes. uterine or mammary
gland enlargement during pregnancy
Dysplasia E. Not true adaptation; Cells abnormal change in
size, shape, organization (classified as mild,
moderate, severe)
P. caused by cell injury/irritation, characterized
by disordered cell growth. aka atypical
hyperplasia or pre-cancer, a disorderly
proliferation
Physiologic: N/A
Pathologic: squamous dysplasia of cervix from
HPV shows up on pap smear, breast cancer
