Cells (E1) Flashcards
(47 cards)
Infectious disease
Caused by pathogen
idiopathic
don’t know cause
iatrogenic
disease happened from treatment of something else
diagnosis
current, what is present
prognosis
futrue, what will happen, disease progression
sequale
left over from disease, like a scar or something to live with after diseases has run course
sign
something you can see/test/prove (objective)
symptom
patient feels/tells you about (subjective)
epithelial tissue
packed, close together
connective tissue
looser cell packaging
adapted cells
healthy cells with changed behavior, like cells in inflamed tissue suspending themselves until inflammation goes away
atrophy
decrease in cell size
physiologic atrophy
normal and not from a disease, like with fat loss
pathologic atrophy
from a diseased
disuse atrophy
cause my disuse of especially muscle cells
hypertrophy
cells increase in size
hyperplasia
increase in cell number
compensatory hyperplasia
cell number increase based on increased work load, like with the loss of a kidney
hormonal hyperplasia
increase based on hormones
metaplasia
cellular replacement. If done by a less mature cell, is reversible
dsyplasia
abnormal changes in cells
atypical hyperplasia
like with neoplasia in tumor/ cancer cells
what can cause cellular adaptation
changes in workload, blood supply, nutrition, hormones, nervous system stimulation
features of injured cells
severe drop in ATP production, extensive vacuolation (water flows into the cell enmasse) high ca 2+ infiltration, accumulation of oxygen free radicals
