M1: Cellular Adaptation Flashcards
(268 cards)
Type of Pathology that pertains to alterations in specialized organs and organ system
Specific
Study of structural changes that underlies disease. Uses molecular, microbiological, immunological and. Morphologic technique.
Pathology
Type of Pathology that pertains to basic reactions of cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli
General
Backbone in which diagnosis are made. Cause of the disease (genetic/acquired) A disease can be understood or a treatment plan to be developed.
Etiology
Etiology: due to bacteria, virus & parasites
Infectious
Etiology: due to deficiency or overproduction
Nutritional
Etiology: due to mutations or gene variants
Genetic
Etiology: due to UV rays
Chemical/Physical
Etiology: underlying causes such as multimutagenic factors and environmental factors (cance/atherosclerosis)
Multifactorial
Stars from initial to ultimate expression of disease. Sequence of events in response to etiological agent. A link between the specific molecular abnormalities to the specific clinical manifestations, to design new therepaeutic approaches.
Pathogenesis
Biochemical & Structural alterations in cells that are either characteristic or diagnostic of the etiological process
Molecular & Morphological Changes
Identify the nature and progression of disease by studying morphologic and chemical alterations but has limitations. Molecular, biological & immunologic process in analyzing disease states.
Diagnostic Pathology
Functional consequences. Progress of signs and symptoms and includes prognosis.
Functional Derangement and Clinical Manifestations
Father of Modern Pathology. All forms of disease start with a molecular or structural alterations in cells.
Rudolf Virchow
Normal cell with narrow range of structure and function caused by
Genetic program of Metabolism, Differentiation & Specialization “MDS”
Are more malignant than specialized cells
Undifferentiated cells
Altered physiologic state
Cellular Adaptation (reversible)
Reduced oxygen supply; chemical injury (ischemia) and microbiological infection.
Cellular injury & Cell death
Metabolic alterations. Can be genetic or acquired.
Intracellular accumulations & calcifications
Prolonged life span with cumulative sublethal injury but not enough to cause cell injury
Cellular aging
Cell injury can be reverted back to normal if the stimulus is
Removed
Chronic & Progressive stimuli. Downhill.
Irreversible Injury
Two types of Cell Injury
Fatty change & Cellular swelling “FC”
First manifestation. Hydrophobic degeneration.
Cellular swelling
