Intro and cell injury, death and adaptations Flashcards
(17 cards)
etiology
cause of disease
pathogenesis
mechanisms of disease
symptoms
signs of disease
syndroms
bunch of syptoms all together
immunohistochemistry
detection of specific proteins in a tissue (antibodies)
Hypoxia
not enough oxygen due to low O2 concentrations
ischemia
not enough oxygen due to reduced blood supply
anoxia
no oxygen at all
cellular senescence
diminished ability of cells to respond to stress
physiological adaptations
normal stimulation by hormones, or endogenous mediators
pathological adaptations
responses to stress, loss of normal function
hypertrophy
increase in cell size
hyperplasia
increase in cell number
atrophy
decrease in cell size
autophagy
survival mechanism that includes self eating. adaptation to nutrient deprivation
proteasome
enzyme complex to degrade intracellular proteins. induced by ubiquitin pathway
metaplasia
reversible, change in phenotype of differentiated cells
