Question
Answer
necrosis   premature death of cells in living tissue, caused by factors external to the cell or tissue, such as infection, toxins, or trauma. (necrosis is almost always detrimental and can be fatal.)  
🗑
causes of necrosis   external factors such as infection, toxins, or trauma  
🗑
apoptosis   programmed cell death upon completion of cell changes that may include: blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and chromosomal DNA fragmentation

causes (purpose) or apoptosis   internal factors

🗑
Major eukaryotic organelles: nucleus   DNA maintenance, controls all activities of the cell, RNA transcription  
🗑
Minor eukaryotic organelles: centriole   anchor for cytoskeleton, helps in cell division by forming spindle fibers

Minor eukaryotic organelles: lysosome   breakdown of large molecules (e.g., proteins + polysaccharides)  
🗑
Minor eukaryotic organelles: melanosome   pigment storage  
🗑
Minor eukaryotic organelles: peroxisome   breakdown of metabolic hydrogen peroxide  
🗑
Minor eukaryotic organelles: ribosome   translation of RNA into proteins  
🗑
Minor eukaryotic organelles: nucleolus   ribosome production  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   a process of passive transport, facilitated by integral ("transport") proteins  
🗑
passive diffusion/transport (aka simple diffusion)   type of diffusion that allows minerals and solutes to travel through a membrane without using a pump or catalyst  
🗑
active transport   The movement of a substance against its concentration gradient, using energy such as ATP (primary active transport)  
🗑
dystrophic calcification   k  
🗑
metastatic calcification   k  
🗑
steatosis of liver (aka fatty liver)   a REVERSIBLE condition where large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis (i.e. abnormal retention of lipids within a cell)  
🗑
labile cells   Constantly dividing cell types: skin cells, cells in the GI tract, blood cells in the bone marrow.  
🗑
stable cells   Cells taht are in Gap O most of the time in the cell cycle, but can be stimulated to enter the cell cycle when needed. e.g: liver, the proximal tubules of the kidney, and endocrine glands  
🗑
major cells of acute inflammation   neutrophils (she says PMNs)  
🗑
major cells of chronic inflammation   k  
🗑
chemical mediators of acute inflammation   histamine (she adds serotonin), prostaoglandins, complement proteins  
🗑
chemical mediators of chronic inflammation   k  
🗑
granulomatous inflammation   type of inflammation characterized by the development of granulomas  
🗑
diffuse interstitial inflammation   type of inflammation chiefly affecting the stroma of an organ  
🗑
granuloma   tiny collection of immune cells known as macrophages  
🗑
diseases characterized by granulomas   TB, leprosy, PCP, histo, crypto, sarcoidosis, Crohn's  
🗑
non-specific markers of inflammation   erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate) and C-reactive protein  
🗑
granulation   the perfused, fibrous connective tissue that replaces a fibrin clot in healing wounds. Granulation tissue typically grows from the base of a wound and is able to fill wounds of almost any size it heals  
🗑
mesenchymal (aka mesenchymal connective tissue)   a type of undifferentiated loose connective tissue that is derived mostly from mesoderm  
🗑
tumors of mesenchymal origin   sarcoma  
🗑
tumors of epithelial origin   carcinoma  
🗑

🗑
mutations in RB gene are associated with which types of cancer?   retinoblastomas, osteosarcomas (cancer of the bone), as well as cancers of the lung, breast, and bladder  
🗑
mutations in p53 gene are associated with which types of cancer?   cancers of the skin, lung, breast, brain, bone, bladder, kidney, esophagus, and pancreas  
🗑
mutations in p16 gene are associated with which types of cancer?   most frequently mutated gene associated with the development of many different types of human cancer, including those of the breast, lung, and colon  
🗑
most common cancer in men   pancreatic, stomach  
🗑
most common cancer in women   breast, cervical, ovarian?  
🗑
most common cancers in USA   lung cancer responsible for most deaths  
🗑
