Q

What happens histologically in calcification

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. a build up of calcium in the tissues
23
Q

What are the two types of calcificaiton when referring to histological disorders

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. metastatic calcification
  2. dystrophic calcification
24
Q

What are psammoma bodies

Study These Flashcards
A

round, lamellated calcifications in the tissue

25
What happens histologically in Chronic inflammation
1. increase in WBCs 2. NO neutrophils 3. caused by ongoing inflammation
26
What happens histologically in Hyperplasia
1. increase in number of cells, not size 2. May result in a larger organ or tissue 3. can be a result of hormonal stimulation 4. risks becoming cancerous
27
What happens histologically in Hypertrophy
1. increase in cell size, Not number 2. happens often in overworked muscle
28
What happens histologically in Hydropic Change
1. early reversable cell injury 2. cellular swelling due to incorrect ion-pump function
29
What happens histologically in Karyorrhexis
1. nucleus breaks into fragments 2. irreversable
30
What happens histologically in metaplasia
1. A mature cell type changes to a different mature cell type 2. it is reversable 3. Results from environmental stimulus
31
What happens histologically in Monmorphism
1. Many cells that show little difference in shape and size 2. The Nuclei also show little difference in size and shape
32
What happens histologically in Multinucleation
1. A single cell that has multiple nuclei
33
What happens histologically in Pleomorphism
1. cell populations with differences in the size and shape of the cell 2. these cell populations can also show many different sized nuclei
34
What happens histologically in Pyknosis
1. an irreversable damage to a cell 2. characterized by condensation and increased basophilia
35
What happens histologically in Caseous Necrosis
1. obliteration of the underlying tissue 2. formation of granular necrotic debris 3. Cheesy appearance 4. associtated with M. tuberculosis
36
What do you call excessive fluid in a mesothelial-cavity
effusion
37
What is mesothelioma
cancer of the mesothelium
38
What happens histologically in mesothelioma
the typical simple squamous cells begin to form microvilli (not normal here). These cells can cause the basement membrane to break, which can allow the abnormal squamous cells to metastisize
39
What is the endothelium
the simple squamous epithelium of the blood vessels
40
What happens histologically in Atherosclerosis
cholesterol, lipoids and lipophages depost in the endothelium as plaque. They come from below the basement membrane and can disrupt that.
41
What kind of epithelium is found in the mesothelium
simple squamous epithelium
42
What kind of epithelium is found in endothelium
simple squamous epithelium
43
What kind of epithelium is found in the thyroid
simple cuboidal epithelium
44
What happens histologically in hyperthyroidism
an increase in production and secretion of thyroid hormones leads to the normally cuboidal cells of the thyroid becoming columnar cells
45
What happens histologically in hypothyroidism
due to low levels of thyroid hormone secretion the normally cuboidal cells become flat and squamous
46
What is the normal type of tissue in the small intestine
simple columnar epithelium
47
What happens histologically in Celiac disease
Gluten reacts with the lining of the small intestine, there the immune system attacks it and damages the villi and microvilli. this leads to lymphocytes between the columnar epithelial cells.
48
What is the normal kind of epithelium in the trachea
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (with goblet cells)
49
What happens to the epithelium of the trachea in bronchitis
the ability of the cilia is inhibited, and the cilia are lost. mucus secretion increases causing excessive mucus, it also can't be moved well because of the lack of cilia. the pseudostratified columnar epithelium is replaced by squamous epithelium
50
What kind of epithelium do you find on your skin
Stratified squamous epithelium (keratinized)
51
What happens histologically in psoriasis
1. Dialated capillaries lead to neutrophils entering the epithelium causing abcesses and pustules 2. thickened epidermis caused by parakeratotic skales
52
What kind of epithelium do you normally find in the esophagus
stratified squamous epithelium (non-keratinized)
53
What happens histologically in Barret syndrome (Barret Esophagus)
Chronic reflux disease causes the stratified squamous epithelium to become simple columnar epithelium. This can lead to adenocarcinoma
