Decrease in cell size (organ or
Atrophy
tissue)
Physiologic Occurs with early development; ex.
atrophy thymus involution
Results from changes in workload
Pathologic (disuse), pressure, blood supply,
atrophy nutrition, hormonal and nervous
stimulation
Increase in cell size (tissue/organ) --
Hypertrophy
> increases size of affected organ
Reversible change. Ex. Kidneys -
Compensatory when one is removed, the other will
hypertrophy adapt and will have an increase in
size of organ and cells
, Reversible change. Response to
increased mechanical load/stress
Physiologic
hypertrophy
Ex. cardiac and skeletal muscles of
an athlete
Irreversible change. Associated with
increased interstitial fibrosis and
abnormal cardiac functions
Pathologic
hypertrophy Ex. heart - may involve structural &
functional manifestations secondary
to: HTN, CAD, Valvular disease
(stressors)
Which of the b. Hypertrophy
following only
occurs in non-
dividing cells
(e.g. myocardial
fibers)?
a. Hyperplasia
b. Hypertrophy
c. Atrophy
d. Pathologic
