NURS 5315 ADV PATHO EXAM 1 Correctly Answered Latest Atrophy - Answer -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 - Answer -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 - Answer -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 cells of the cervix that must undergo laser/surgical tx Metaplasia - Answer -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 factorsEx: 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 Esophagusnormal squamous cells change to columnar epithelial cells in response to reflux, aka intestinal metaplasia Hypoxia injury - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - Answer -intracellular accumulation of lipids in the liver liver fails to metabolize lipids. usually from ETOH or high fat diet. can lead to cirrhosis dystrophic calcification - Answer -accumulation of Ca in dead or dying tissues calcium salt clump and harden- interfere with cellular structure and function r/t pulmonary TB, atherosclerosis, injured heart valves, chronic pancreatitis metastatic calcification - Answer -accumulation of Ca in normal tissue result of hypercalcemia r/t hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, toxic levels of Vit D. Can also r/t hyperphosphatemia in renal failure urate accumulation - Answer -sodium urate crystals are deposited in tissues- group of disorders collectively called gout- acute arthritis, chronic gouty arthritis, tophus, nephritis Coagulative Necrosis - Answer -kidneys, heart, adrenals- secondary to hypoxiaLiquefactive Necrosis - Answer -nerve cells- brain- accumulation of pus Caseous Necrosis - Answer -lung disease- usually TB- tissue looks like clumped cheese Fat Necrosis - Answer -breast, pancreas, abdominal structures- creates soaps Gangrenous Necrosis - Answer -Dry- dark shriveled skin Wet- internal organs- can lead to death Gas- from clostridium- antitoxins and hyperbaric therapy Gout - Answer -E. disturbances in serum urate levels. uncommon for < 30 years old. P. uric acid is deposited in the tissues of kidney, h
