QuestionAnswer
what kind of cellular adaptation is when cells decrease or shrinkage in size? Atrophy
WHen atrophy occurs? occurs with early development, or as a result of decreases in workload, use pressure, hormonal stimulation
What kind of cellular adaptation is when the cells increase in the size? hypertrophy
what causes hypertrophy? accumulation of protein by specific hormone stimulation or increased functional demand
what kind of adaptation is when cells increase in the number? hyperplasia.
What causes hyperplasia? result from an increased rate of cellular division
Enlarging uterus at pregnancy is the examples of which adaptation? hypertrophy and hyperplasia
What kind of adaptation is when one mature cell is replaced by another less differenciated cell? metaplasia
What is called for abnormal changes in the size, shape, organization of the cell? Dysplasia
how cellular injury occur? It occurs if the cell is unable to maintain homeostasis in the face of injurious stimuli.
What is homeostasis? a normal or adaptive steady state
What is the difference between cellular injury and cell death? Cellular injury can either be reversible or irreversible, and cell death is irreversible.
what kind of injury is that can result from decreased amount of oxygen in the air, loss of hemoglobin? hypoxia
what is the common cause of hyposia, and what is it? ischemia. reduced blood supply
what is called sudden total lack of oxygen? anoxia
what is called the additional injury from restoration of oxygen? reperfusion injury
what is free-radical induced injusry? excess reactive oxygen species(ROS) overwhelms endogeous anioxidant systems causes oxidative stress. It causes free-radicals and damage membrane.
What is chemical injury? It begins with a biochemical interaction between a toxic substance and the cell's plasma membrane leading increases permeability.
what kinds of chemical agent cause cellular injury? lead, CO, ethanol,mercury,social drugs
what is contusion? bleeding into the skin or underlying tissues as a consequence of a blow that squeexes or crushes the soft tissues and consequently ruptures blood vessels without breaking the skin.
what is hematoma? a collection of blood in soft tissues or an enclosed space
what is abrasion? results form removal of the superficial layers of the skin caused by friction between the skin and injuring object.
what is laceration? tear or rip resulting when the tensile strength of the skin or tissue is exceeded.
what is incised wound? a cut that is longer than it is deep
what is stab wound? penetrating sharp force injury that is deeper than it is long
what is puncture wound? instruments or objexts with sharp points but without sharp edges may produce. The injuries often have abrasion of the edges, can be quite deep.
what is chopping wound? heavy edged instruments produce injuries.
List 3 types of aspyxial injuries. suffocation, strangulation, drowning
what is necrosis? accidental cell death, occurs after severe and sudden injury
what is apoptosis? programmed cell death.
List 3 steps of necrosis 1)karyolysis: nuclear dissolution and lysis of chromatin 2)pyknosis: nucleus shrinks and becomes a small, dense mass of genetic material 3)Karyorrhexis:fragmentation of the nucleus into smaller particles or "nuclear dust".
List 4 types of necrosis coaglative necrosis, liquefactive necrosis, caseous necrosis, gangreous necrosis
what is cogulative necrosis caused by hypoxia.occurs in the kidneys, heart.protein in the cell becomes firm.
what is liquefactive necrosis? commonly results from ischemic injury in the brain. the tissue becomes soft liquefies.
what is caseous necrosis? commonly rsults from tuberculous pulmonary infection. tissues appear soft and granular.
what is gangrenous necrosis? results from severe hypoxic injury.
what is somatic death? death of the entire person
what is algor mortis? postmortem reduction of body temperature
what is livor mortis? a purple discoloration developed by gravity when blood to settle in the most dependent or lowest, tissues
what is rigor mortis? muscle stiffening
what is postmortem autolysis? putrefactive changes associated with the release of enzymes and lytic dissolution
