Question
Answer
Pathophysiology   The study of the physiology of abnormal states. In particular, the functional changes that accompany a disease  
🗑
Pathology   The study or diagnose of a disease through examination of organs, tissue, fluids, whole bodies  
🗑
What are the 2 branches of medical pathology?   1. Anatomical (How do the anatomical structures change in a disease) 2. Clinical Pathology (lab values, basic mechanisms of disease-histological examination)  
🗑
Neoplasia   Cell adaptation  
🗑
Apoptosis   Cell death  
🗑
Inflammation, wound healing   Tissue adaptation  
🗑
Necrosis   Tissue Death  
🗑
What are some causes of cell injury?   Genetic abnormality .. Hypoxia .. Ishemia .. Nutritional imbalance .. Physical agents .. Chemical agents .. Immunologic reaction .. endogenous toxins  
🗑
Following a stress, the way a cell reacts depends on?   Type, duration and severity of the stress ... Type, state adaptability of the cell  
🗑
Characteristics of reversible cell injury   Mild stress ... short duration ... Mild morphological ... Biochemical changes  
🗑
Characteristics of irreversible cell injury   Stress is severe .., apoptosis ... Necrosis  
🗑
What is Hydropic swelling   A type of reversible cell injury caused of imbalance in process controlling Na+ concentration in Cytoplasm  
🗑
Why does the cell swell and increase in size in hydropic swelling   Because of the accumulation of water and Na+  
🗑
What is Hypertrophy and what are some examples of it   Adaptive response that increase the cell size .. examples: increased metabolic rate - Rise in ATP demand .. and Cell stimulation - increased in protein synthesis  
🗑
What is Atrophy   Decrease in cell size  
🗑
What is Hyperplasia   increase in cell # (Mitosis) .. and it's reversible  
🗑
What is Metaplasia   Change in cell type (Mature, differentiated) .. Think of when playing a guitar how the skin of the finger changes .. carries risk to malignant tranformation  
🗑
What is Dysplasia   Change in organization (immature, precancerous) due to partial loss of differentiation  
🗑
Excessive of cortisol can lead to   Cushing's syndrom  
🗑
What are the characteristics of Dysplasia   Anisocytosis (Cell unequal in size) ... Poikilocytosis (Abnormally shaped cell) .... Hyperchromatism (excessive Pigmentation) .... Presence of Mitotic figures (unusual # of cells that are currently dividing)  
🗑
Characteristics of a cell undergoing apoptosis or necrosis --> ultrastructural change   1. Progressive loss of nuclear chromatin 2. Rupture of the nuclear membrane 3. Breakdown of the plasma membrane 4. Development of flocculent densities in mitochondria  
🗑
What is Pyknosis   condensation of chromatin and shrinkage of the nucleus  
🗑
What is Karyorrhexis   Fragmentation of the nucleus  
🗑
What is Karyolysis   Dissolution of the nucleus  
🗑
What triggers apoptosis   a slight damage to Mitochondria .. Also, Extrinsic Pathways and Interinsic pathways  
🗑
what triggers nicrosis   A severe damage to mitochondria .. caused only from external factors  
🗑
What do Cytotoxic drugs do   Induce cell death through interconnection between apoptotic and necrotic pathways  
🗑
What is coagulative necrosis   Seen in hypoxic environments, such as infaraction  
🗑
What is Liquefactive necrosis   Usually associated with cellular destruction and pus formation .. ischemia causes it too  
🗑
Gummatous necrosis   restricted to necrosis involving Spirochaetal infection  
🗑
Gangrenous Necrosis   In lower limbs, has lost its blood supply and under necrosis  
🗑
Haemorrhagic Necrosis   due to blockage of the venous drainage of an organ or tissue  
🗑
Caseous Necrosis   Specific form of coagulation necrosis caused by mycobacteria, fungi, and some foreign sybstances  
🗑
Fatty necrosis   Results from the action of lipases on fatty tissue  
🗑
fibriboid necrosis   Caused by immune mediated vascular drainage  
🗑
Apoptosis Vs Necrosis   Apoptois : Cells shrink and condense, Release small membrane-bound bodies, and small fragments are engulfed ... Necrosis: cell swell and burst, Damage surrounding area, Induce inflammation  
🗑
What does ectoderm give rise to?   skin and nervous system  
🗑
What does mesoderm give rise to?   bones and muscular tissues  
🗑
What does endoderm give rise to?   internal organ tissues  
🗑
What is the epithelial tissue and its function   Forms the covering or lining of free body surfaces both internal and external. Functions: protection, absorption, excretion, secretion  
🗑
What are muscle tissues and their function   Muscle cells are highly specialized for contraction  
🗑
Connective tissue   Support, anchor, and connect various parts of the body  
🗑
Nervous tissue   Specialized in the conduction of electrical impulses  
🗑
What are dendrites and Axons   Dendrites: highly branched fibers that bring impulses toward cell body .. Axons: single, unbranched fiber that carry info away from the cell body  
🗑
What is an Asohyxial injury   Failure of cell to receive oxygen .. suffocation  
🗑
What is Regeneration   Replacement of exact specialized structure and function .. get organized in the same structure as before the injury  
🗑
What is repair (wound healing)   injured tissue is replaced with connective tissue - result in scar formation  
🗑
What are the 2 primary mechanisms of Regeneration?   1. Proliferation and differentiation of stem. 2. Dedefferntiation (specialized ---> unspecialized form)  
🗑
Process of tissue repair contains 4 overlapping phases:   1. Hemostasis (platelet aggregation) 2. Inflammation (Erythema, swelling, warmth) 3. Proliferation (Granulation and contraction) 4. Remodeling (maturation)  
🗑
How long is Hemostasis and what cells are involved in this Phase?   occurs immediately .. cells involved are Platelets  
🗑
How long is Inflammation and what cells are involved in this phase?   1-4 days .. Cells involved are neutrophils  
🗑
How long is Proliferation and what cells are involved in this phase?   4-21 days .. Cells involved: Macrophages, Lymphocytes, Angiocytes, Neurocytes, Fibroblasts, keratinocytes  
🗑
How long is Remodeling and what cells are involved in this phase?   day 21-2 years .. cells involved : Fibrocytes  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
