Question
Answer
What is atrophy?   a decrease or shrinkage in cell size.  
🗑
Why do cells change?   escape injury and protect themselves.  
🗑
Shrinkage in tissue leads to   shrinkage in an organ  
🗑
Occurs during early developement. An example would be the thymus gland undegoes atrophy during child hood.   Physiologic atrophy  
🗑
Normal atrophy   Physiologic atrophy  
🗑
Occurs as a result in a decreased workload, pressure, use, blood supply, nutrition, hormonal stimulation, and nervous stimulation.   Pathologic atrophy  
🗑
abnormal atrophy   pathologic atrophy  
🗑
An increase in cell size   hypertrophy  
🗑
three common cell types that undergo atrophy   heart, kidneys, and skeletal muscles  
🗑
3 causes of hypertrophy   increase in cellular protein,increase in functional demand on the cell, triggers of hypertrophy mechanical and trophic signals  
🗑
Stretching and working out   mechanical signals of hypertrophy  
🗑
Trophic hypertrophy   growth factors, hormones, and vasoactive agents  
🗑
An increase in the number of cells resulting from an increased rate of cellular divison   hyperplasia  
🗑
where is hyperplasia commonly found?   in epithelial cells(skin, mouth), hepatocytes( liver cells),and kidney cells  
🗑
Cells MUST exhibit the capacity to divide   hyperplasia  
🗑
Hyperplasia and hypertrophy can occur   together and both take place if the cell can synthesize dna  
🗑
Compensatory hyperplasia   is normal and enables certain organs to regeneratate at cellular levels  
🗑
cells that can not regenerate include   skeletal muscle, nerve, myocardial,and some cells of the eye  
🗑
Compensatory hyperplasia commonly occurs in   the liver epidermal and intestinal epithelia, hepatocytes, liver cells, bone marrow, fibroblasts, bone and cartilage, and smooth muscle cell see page 68 in book  
🗑
increase in # of cells due to estrogen influence   hormonal hyperplasia  
🗑
who exhibits hormonal hyperplasia   women and men experince it during puberty  
🗑
Where does hormonal hyperplasia commonly occur?   in estrogen dependent organs  
🗑
dysplasia   abnormal changes in size shape and organization of mature cells  
🗑
where is dysplasia commonly found?   in epithelial tissue of the cervix and respiratory tract  
🗑
how can dysplasia be classified   mild, moderate, or severe  
🗑
What often causes dysplasia?   cancerous cell growth or irritating stimuli such as smoking  
🗑
Removal of the stimulus does what to dysplastic changes?   reverses the abnormal cell growth  
🗑
abnormal proliferation of normal cells in response to some type of stimulation   Pathologic hyperplasia  
🗑
Cancer is   abnormal growth on abnormal cells not pathologic hyperplasia because hyperplasia is on normal cells  
🗑
Reversible replacement of one mature cell by another   metaplasia  
🗑
What do columnar epithelial cells do that assists in maintaing a healthy airway?   it works as a filter to keep airways clean but smokers get squamous epithelial cells which do not filter the airway  
🗑
Why is it devestaing for the airway to have metaplasia in the airway?   dysplasia and cancerous transformation can occur  
🗑
What is thought to cause metaplasia?   thought to be caused by stem cells getting confused due to new stimuli (smoking) in the cell's enviroment  
🗑
Celluar injury occurs when?   if the cell is unable to maintain homeostasis  
🗑
when injured cells can recover   reversible injury  
🗑
when injured cells can not recover   irreversible injury  
🗑
what is the most common mechanism of cell injury?   hypoxic injury  
🗑
What is hypoxia?   lack of sufficent oxygen  
🗑
What are causes of hypoxia?   loss of hemoglobin, decreased production of RBC, disease of the cardiovascular system, and poisioning of oxidative enzymes  
🗑
lack of blood supply   ischemia  
🗑
what is the most common cause of hypoxia?   ischemia  
🗑
What causes ischemia?   gradual narrowing of the arteries ( aretriosclerosis) and complete blockage of blood clots ( thrombosis)  
🗑
What is anoxia?   a total lack of oxygen that is sudden  
🗑
Embolus(blood clot), drowning, stroke, and pulmonary embolus are examples of   anoxia  
🗑
which is more damaging anoxia or hypoxia?   anoxia bc its sudden  
🗑
Chemical injury begins when?   a biochemical interaction between a toxic substance and the cell's plasma membrane causing damage and increased permeability  
🗑
What causes cellular injury?   direct toxicity by combining wirh a molecular component of the cell membrane or organelles and reactive free radicals and lipid peroxidation  
🗑
free radicals like to bind with   Vitamin E  
🗑
