Atrophy
Shrinkage of cells, volume of tissue decreases; ultimately organs, number of cells may die off
Physiologic - natural atrophy, e.g. the ovaries after menopause, the thymus gland is largest in infancy and most is gone in 20’s
Pathologic - tissues shrink due to disease, e.g. spinal cord injury and loses nerve innovation to lower limbs and muscle mass shrivels up
Metaplasia
Replacement of one cell type by a _____ cell type, e.g. someone has an ill fitting dental appliance and it continually rubs on their cheek, the lining of the cheek is squamous epithelium, the outside is the same with keratin, the inner side may become keratinized (rough patch on the inside of your cheek)
_____ process
Can be _____
Can initiate more severe changes
Metaplasia
Replacement of one cell type by a different cell type, e.g. someone has an ill fitting dental appliance and it continually rubs on their cheek, the lining of the cheek is squamous epithelium, the outside is the same with keratin, the inner side may become keratinized (rough patch on the inside of your cheek)
Reversible process
Can be protective
Can initiate more severe changes
