Dysplasia - Correct-answer-E. Cells change in size, shape, organization
P. AKA atypical hyperplasia, a disorderly proliferation Physiologic: N/A
Pathologic: squamous dysplasia of cervix from HPV
Metaplasia - Correct-answer-E. one cell type replaced with another
P. reprogramming of stem cells, reversible Physiologic: N/A
Pathologic: stratified squamous cells in bronchial lining r/t cigarette smoke
Hypoxia injury - Correct-answer-E. inadequate oxygenation of tissues
P. decrease in mitochondrial function, decreased production of ATP increases
anaerobic metabolism. eventual cell death.
C.M. hypoxia, cyanosis, cognitive impairment, lethargy
Free radical and ROS - Correct-answer-E. normal byproduct of ATP production,
will overwhelm the mitochondria- exhaust intracellular antioxidants
P. lipid peroxidation, damage proteins, fragment DNA
C.M. development in Alzheimer's, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Ethanol - Correct-answer-E. mood altering drug, long term effects on liver and
nutritional status
P. metabolized by liver, generates free radicals

C.M. CNS depression, nutrient deficiencies-Mag, Vit B6, thiamine, PO4,
inflammation and fatty infiltration of liver, hepatomegaly, leads to liver failure
irreversible
Oncosis - Correct-answer-Na and H2O enter cell and cause swelling. Organ
increases in weight, becomes distended and pale. Associated with high fever,
hypocalcemia, certain infections
Fatty Infiltration - Correct-answer-intracellular accumulation of lipids in the liver
liver fails to metabolize lipids. usually from ETOH or high fat diet. can lead to
cirrhosis
Hydrostatic pressure - Correct-answer-Blood pressure- pushes fluid outside of the
vessels, the force of fluid against the walls of a compartment- venous obstruction,
Na and water retention
Oncotic pressure - Correct-answer-Colloid pressure keeps water inside the
compartment, attracts water from interstitial space back into the capillary- losses or
diminished albumin
