Q

What are the possible outcomes for a cell that undergoes stress and injurious stimuli

A
  1. It can adapt to the stress
  2. it can become injured
  3. it can reverse the injury and return to normal
  4. if the injury is irreversible then the cell will die

Q

hypertrophy and hyperplasia are caused by the same stimuli, what is that stimuli

A
  1. increased work demand
  2. metabolic demand
  3. excess endocrine stimulus

16
Q

what causes metaplasia

Study These Flashcards
A

persisting injury

17
Q

What can happen to function of the cell in metaplasia

Study These Flashcards
A

you can have loss of normal cell functions

18
Q

What causes dysplasia

Study These Flashcards
A

persistent SEVERE injury or irritation

19
Q

How do you recognize dysplasia when compaired to metaplasia

Study These Flashcards
A

dysplasia will have many more cells, more replacement of cells

20
Q

What determines how much fat your body stores? how many adipocytes you have, or the size of your adipocytes

Study These Flashcards
A

the size of your adipocytes

21
Q

What determines your bodies ability to store fat

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. gestatinal birth weight
  2. maternal insulin
  3. in utero toxin exposure
22
Q

Normally adipocytes undergo hypertrophy, can they also under hyperplasia

Study These Flashcards
A

yes when adults have hit 170% of their body weight

23
Q

What are the 10 causes of cellular INJURY

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. oxygen deprivation
  2. chemical agents
  3. infectious agents
  4. immunologic reactions
  5. genetic factors
  6. nutritional imbalances
  7. physical agents
  8. radiation
  9. calcium
  10. aging
24
Q

What is the most common cause of cellular injury

Study These Flashcards
A

oxygen deprivation

25
what is ischemia
the lack of oxygen in a cell or tissue due to lack of blood flow to it
26
What is hypoxia
low oxygen to the cell
27
what is anoxia
no oxygen to the cell
28
What causes ischemia
hypoxia and anoxia
29
how does oxygen depletion or ischemia lead to cellular damage
1. low O2 leads to low ATP 2. low ATP leads to sodium-potassium pump, and calcium pump failing 3. the imbalance of ions (Na. K. and Ca) cause water to enter the cell, and the cell to swell 4. if this isn't fixed then the cell will lyse
30
What is reperfusion injury
injury that occurs with rapid restoration of blood to ischemic tissues.
31
how does rapid restoration of blood to ischemic tissues lead to a reperfusion injury
the mitochondria has adapted to not having Oxygen, so when Oxygen is reintroduced the mitochondria Reactive Oxygen species are created by the unused electrons in the ETS
32
What can these Reactive oxygen Species do in the body
1. lipid peroxidation 2. alterations of proteins 3. alteration of DNA
33
What is the product when unused electrons from the ETS react with O2 in reperfusion injuries
O2 and the electrons make H2O2.
34
What can then happen with the H2O2 that is caused by the joining of Electrons and O2
1. it can be neutralized by catalase 2. it can be neutralized by glutathione 3. if not neutralized it becomes OH radical (harmful Reactive Oxygen Species)
35
What happens to the mitochondria in hypopoxia
the mitochondria will swell
