13
Q

Mechanisms of Adaptation:

A

Increasing cellular activity
Decreasing cellular activity
Altering cellular structure
Loss of maturation

14
Q

Increase in size

A

Hypertrophy

15
Q

Increase in number

A

Hyperplasia

16
Q

Altering cell structure

A

Metaplasia

17
Q

Loss of maturation

A

Dysplasia

18
Q

Shrinkage in the size of the cell by loss of cell substance and may lead to cell death

A

Atrophy

19
Q

Classifications of atrophy:

2

A

Physiologic

Pathologic

20
Q

Atrophy Due to decreased workload (e.g. Decreased size of uterus following childbirth, or disease)

A

Physiologic atrophy

21
Q

Atrophy primarily due to the denervation of muscle, diminished blood supply and nutritional deficiency

A

Pathologic atrophy

22
Q

Causes of cellular adapatation:

8

A
Reduced functional demand or disuse
In adequate supply of oxygen
Lack of trophic hormones
Malnutrition
loss of innervation 
diminished blood supply 
aging
Pressure
23
Q

Increase in the size of cells which results in an increase in the size of the organs

▪️No new cells, just larger ones
▪️Synthesis more structural components
▪️can be physiologic or pathologic
▪️caused by the increased functional demand or specific hormonal stimulation

A

Hypertrophy

24
Q

Adaptation Mostly seen in cells that cannot divide (skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle)

These changes usually Revert to normal if the cause is removed

A

Hypertrophy

25
Q

Increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue leading to increased organ or tissue size

Occurs if the cellular population is capable of synthesizing DNA, permitting mitotic division

A

Hyperplasia

26
Q

Classification of Hyperplasia in which there is Increased in local production of growth factor receptors on the responding cells activating transcription factors and leading to cell proliferation

▪️Hormonal (breast and uterus during pregnancy)
▪️Compensatory (regeneration of liver following partial hepatectomy)

A

Physiologic Hyperplasia

27
Q

Classification of hyperplasia in which there is:
stimulation of growth factors (hormonal or Viral infection- papilloma viruses)

and it may also give rise to neoplasms

A

Pathologic hyperplasia

28
Q

Also called as GRAVES DISEASE

A

Hyperthyroidism

29
Q

An autoimmune disorder correct arise by diffuse goiter, hyperthyroidism, and exophthalmos

A

Hyperthyroidism

30
Q

Immune mechanism of hyperthyroidism which increases thyroid hormone secretion:

A

IgG antibodies vs. TSH receptor (agonists)

31
Q

Pathology of hyperthyroidism
