Allostatic overload - ANS ✓"cost" of body's organs and tissues for an excessive
or ineffectively regulated allostatic response
Exhaustion stage - ANS ✓the point where the body can no longer return to
homeostasis
What is the sympathetic nervous system mediated by? - ANS
✓norepinephrine
Catecholamines secreted by the SNS and adrenal medulla - ANS
✓norepinephrine and epinephrine
Corticosteroids secreted by the adrenal cortex - ANS ✓cortisol and
aldosterone
Cellular Adaptation - ANS ✓allows the stressed tissue to survive or maintain
function
intracellular accumulations - ANS ✓build-up of substances that cells cannot
immediately use or eliminate; lead to cellular injury
hydrophic swelling - ANS ✓cellular swelling because of accumulation of water;
malfunction of sodium-potassium pump with an accumulation of sodium ions
within the cell
PATH370
, 2
PATH
What are the four examples of intracellular accumulations - ANS ✓abnormal
metabolism, defect in protein folding or transport, lack of enzymes, and ingestion
of indigestible materials
Atrophy - ANS ✓cells shrink and reduce their differentiated functions in
response to normal and injurious factors
Hypertrophy - ANS ✓increase in cell mass accompanied by an augmented
functional capacity in response to physiological and pathophysiological demands
Hyperplasia - ANS ✓increase in functional capacity related to an increase in cell
number because of mitotic division
Metaplasia - ANS ✓replacement of one differentiated cell type with another
Dysplasia - ANS ✓disorganized appearance of cells because of abnormal
variations in size, shape, and arrangement
What are the different types of necrosis? - ANS ✓coagulative, liquefactive, fat
necrosis, and caseous necrosis
Coagulative necrosis - ANS ✓most common type; process begins with ischemia
and ends with degradation of plasma membrane
Liquifactive necrosis - ANS ✓dissolution of dead cells; formation of abscess or
cyst from dissolved dead tissue
Fat necrosis - ANS ✓death of the adipose tissue that is the result of trauma or
pancreatitis; chalky white area of tissue
caseous necrosis - ANS ✓degeneration and death of tissue with a cheese-like
appearance; characteristic of lung damage from TB
PATH370
, 3
PATH
Apoptosis - ANS ✓process of programmed cell death
What are some side effects of chemotherapy? - ANS ✓anemia, nausea,
bleeding, and infection
Oma - ANS ✓suffix for a benign tumor
carcinoma - ANS ✓a malignant tumor that occurs in epithelial tissue
sarcoma - ANS ✓malignant tumor of connective tissue
Leukemia - ANS ✓malignancy of the white blood cells
Grading - ANS ✓hitological characterization of tumor cells; the degree of
anaplasia; the greater degree of anaplasia = the greater degree of malignant
potential
Staging - ANS ✓Location and patterns of spread within the host.
Tumor size, extent of local growth, lymph node and organ involvement,
distant metastasis; Results of staging determine treatment modality
anaplasia - ANS ✓loss of differentiation of cells; reversion to a more primitive
cell type
What are some deficits in immune system function in cancer? - ANS
✓chemotherapy, cancer cells, cancer metastasis to bone marrow, and
malnutrition
Bone marrow suppression in cancer patients - ANS ✓contributes to the
anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia
