Question
Answer
what is a physiologic response to stimuli?   show
🗑
What are pathologic responses to stimuli?   show
🗑
show Homeo: • Cells possess an innate ability to stress in such a way to work to maintain normal structure/function & viability. Allo:cells respond to stresses by making substantive changes to structure and fnc that still allow for maintenance of viability  
🗑
show Death  
🗑
show to new conditions/demands for optimal functioning. **reflects cells ability to alter cell cycle acitivity (G1,G2, S, and M/Proliferation).  
🗑
show 1.Hyperplasia: increased number of cells. 2.Hypertrophy: increased size of cells. 3.Atrophy: decreased size of cell. 4.Metaplasia: change from one mature cell type to another.  
🗑
show PHYSIO: 1.Hormonal (meet functional demands). 2.Compensatory (regain functional capacity after loss of cells). PATH: 1.Proliferation for protection.  
🗑
show 1.Endometrial proliferation in response to estrogen (proliferatice phase prepares for implantation). 2.Increased cell number in mammary glands during lactaion (producing milk for infants). 3.The body's natural suturing of scars  
🗑
show 1.Occurs Due to increased protein synthesis, not cellular swelling. 2.Generally occurs in cells that would not typically divide (e.g., muscle cells ® cardiac hypertrophy)  
🗑
List 2 examples of adaptive responses involving both hyperplasia & Hypertrophy   show
🗑
What is atrophy? why is substance lost?   show
🗑
show 1.Dec Workload (skeletal muscle, bone). 2.Loss of nerve supply (skeletal m). 3.Ischemia (brain in elderly). 4.Poor nutrition. 5.Reduced endocrine stimulation (mammary, uterus, ovaries.  
🗑
show Change from one mature cell type to another type due to reprogramming the gene expression of stem cells. **Can be: 1.Epithelial tissues: squamous to columnar (Barret's esophagus) or columnar to squamous (cervix, airways). 2.Mesenchymal: muscle to bon  
🗑
show YES to BOTH. It is protective to noxious stimuli b/c cells change from susceptible cell type to more resistant/protective type of cell.  
🗑
7 causes of cell injury   show
🗑
show Granular cell layer as well as keratin layer.  
🗑
Exmaples of Pathologic hyperplasia   show
🗑
show Adipocytes.  
🗑
Cachexia   show
🗑
Where does cervical cancer usually occur?   show
🗑
When would you have a metaplastic change in the airway not due to stomach acid? what does this cause?   show
🗑
show CAUSES: 1.Dec BF. 2.Anemia. 3.Poor oxygenation. **Ischemia is impaired BF which leads to dec O2 AND nutrients.  
🗑
show LIVER b/c of the CYP450 system  
🗑
Underlying Mechanisms of Cell Injury   show
🗑
show 1.Severity. 2.Duration.  
🗑
show Inc mRNA.  
🗑
show When self function declines below the cell death risk level. **there is greater chance of cell death than cell function.  
🗑
Morphologic changes in Cell injury   show
🗑
show Mitochondria become swollen, membrane Does NOT maintains integrity. **Cells are consumed by phagocytes so they dont damage other cells.  
🗑
Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury   show
🗑
Compare and Contrast Apoptosis and Necrosis   show
🗑
show NECROSIS: 1.Coagulative. 2.Liquefactive. 3.Caseous. 4.Fat necrosis.  
🗑
show Coagulative (except in brain)  
🗑
Nuclear changes seen with Coagulative Necrosis   show
🗑
show MORPHOLOGY: 1.Cell outline & tissue architecture remain for 48 hrs. 2.Cytoplasmic changes: Shrunken, Inc eosinophilia. 3.Nuclear changes. PROCESS: 1.Denaturation of cytosolic proteins (due to Dec pH).  
🗑
show 1.Bacterial Infection. 2.CNS necrosis.  
🗑
Morphology and process behind Liquefactive necrosis   show
🗑
show 1.No tissue architecture remains. 2.Surrounded by granulomatous inflammation . 3.Cheesy white/yellow friable material. **seen with TB.  
🗑
What is the Process involving Fat Necrosis? Where all does it occur?   show
🗑
Since fat necrosis is such a large-scale destruction, what can it lead to? what will be seen in tissue?   show
🗑
show DRY: Coagulative necrosis of tissues secondary to profound ischemia (toes of diabetes pt, intestine of ischemic bowel pt). WET:o Liquefactive necrosis from inflammatory necrosis superimposed on ischemic necrosis (usually secondary to bacterial infectio  
🗑
show 1.Involution of structures during dev (webbing). 2.Elimination of immune cells. 3.Involution following hormonal withdrawal (Endometrium). 4.Cytotoxic T-cell mediated elimination of infected/neoplastic cells.  
🗑
Pathologic Apoptosis is seen with   show
🗑
show STIMULUS PATHWAYS: 1.Intrinsic ("Injury" such as ROS/toxins/radiation or withdrawal of growth factors). 2.Extrensic (Death receptors or cytotoxic T cell mediated). **COMMON PATHWAY (shared by all): 1.Execution pathway (caspase enzyme cascade)  
🗑
show PRO: 1.Bax. 2.Bak. ANTI: 1.bcl-2. 2.bcl-x  
🗑
show 1.Injury (from ROS, toxin, radation) causes Inc p53 tumor suppressor gene production. 2.Cell is arrested in G1 phase to repair DNA. 3.If repair is unsuccessful: Apoptosis. 4.Inc production of Bax and Bak.  
🗑
show 1.Growth factor withdrawal alters the balance of bcl family proteins. 2.Inc Bax & Bak. 3.Dec bcl-2 & bcl-x.  
🗑
Mechanism behind the extrinsic Death receptor stimulus pathway leading to Apoptosis   show
🗑
show Granzyme B  
🗑
Are the Pro-apoptosis & Anti-apoptosis noramlly in balance? What happens if they aren't?   show
🗑
show 1.Cancers: Neoplastic cells proliferate despite DNA damage (p53 has failed). 2.Autoimmunity: Failure to eliminate self-reacting lymphocytes  
🗑
What 3 things can occur if there is too much apoptotic activity?   show
🗑
2 main forms of Normal Lipid that can build up in excess causing accumulations   show
🗑
Steatosis   show
🗑
show Cutaneous xanthomas deposited around the eyelids and neck. **50% associated with hypercholesterolemia due to genetic mutation.  
🗑
Endogenous & exogenous Pigment Acculumations   show
🗑
show 1.Dystrophic: normal Ca levels, associated with dying/degenerating cells (seen in: calcific atheroscl, fat necrosis, psammona body). 2.Metastatic: Hypercalcemia due to Inc PTH, destruction of bone, and excess Vit D.  
🗑
2 major contributors to Cellular Senescence   show
