Terms in this set (477)



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,
hormonal stimulation, or nervous stimulation)

, 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
development; pap smears often show dysplastic

tx

, Metaplasia E: reversible change, one type of cell changes to
another type for survival
P: reversible; results from exposure of the cells to
chronic stressors, injury, or irritation; Cancer can
arise from this area, stimulus induces a
reprogramming of stem cells under the influence
of cytokines and growth factors
Ex: Patho: Columnar cells change to squamous
cells in lungs of smoker or normal ciliated epithelial
cells of the bronchial linings are replaced by
stratified squamous epithelial cells.; Phys: Barrett
Esophagus- normal squamous cells change to
columnar epithelial cells in response to reflux, aka
intestinal metaplasia


Hypoxia injury 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 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
