Patho CH 2: Altered Cells and Tissues Flashcards
make a cell smaller
atrophy
lack of blood supply to cell death to chest pain to an MI
ischemia
make a cell bigger
hypertrophy
complete cell change in size or # of cells
hyperplasia
change cell type and structure
metaplasia
abnormal growth
dysplasia
cellular suicide
apoptosis
death related to cell injury
necrosis
direct injury
bike accident
mechanical
temperature injury
Ex:
thermal
burn/frostbite
injury from spill of toxic substance
chemical
injury from inside the body system
endogenous
injury from an external environment
exogenous
injury from deprived of something (O2/water)
deficit injury
cerebral atrophy patho
reduction in size of the cells in the cerebrum
from reduced stimulation or injury
cerebral atrophy is a result of
reduced stimulation
injury
localized to a particular reason
focal
affecting the entire brain
global
cerebral atrophy diagnostic criteria
- early ID of loss of function
- health history
- neurologic exam
- imaging studies
cerebral atrophy treatment
- prevention
- interruption of injury process
- slowing course of disease
cardiac hypertrophy patho
increase cardiac muscle mass
Causes (etiology)of cardiac hypertrophy
- excessive cardiac workload
- increased functional demand
- inherited genetic trait
heart muscle becomes stiff leading to decreased cardiac output
inherited non-sex-linked genetic trait
primary cardiac hypertrophy
due to an underlying condition increasing LV workload
secondary cardiac hypertrophy
increased bloop pressure
