Pathology Flashcards
(247 cards)
Degeneration:Calcification
Metastatic = Ca++intonormal tissueHypervitaminosis DDystrophic = Ca++ intoabnormal/damagedtissueAtherosclerosis, atheroma
Degeneration:Caseous
cheesytuberculosis
Types of DegenerationAlbuminous
cloudy swellingmembrane injury, ion transfer fucked
Degeneration:Coagulation
Infarction (MI)
Degeneration:Enzymatic
Pancreas(digests itself inside-out)
Degeneration:Fatty
Liver =”nutmeg liver” (reversible if caught early)Heart = “tabby cat heart” (stripes)fatty dot→ fatty streak→ fatty plaque (atheroma)→ fibroatheroma (fibrous tissue, calcium)
Degeneration:Liquefactive
CNSbrain melts, tertiary syphilis, leprosyor skininfection
Degeneration:Wallerian
peripheral nervesdegenerates to next Node of Ranvier”dying back phenomenon”
Degeneration:Zenker’s (Waxy)
hyaline cartilagemost common in skeletal muscle (at epiphyseal plates)muscle replaced with hyaline cartilage
Cellular Degeneration
Karyolysis:nuclearrupturing/fading/destructionKaryorrhexis:nuclear swellingPyknosis:nuclear condensationAll the above = “nuclear dissolution”leads to ananuclear necrotic cell
Developmental Changes
Agenesis: absence of organ (usually paired organs; renal, testicular.. odontoid)Aplasia: small remnants of the organ, lack of developmentHypoplasia: smaller than normal, usually defective
Primary PathologyvsSecondary Pathology
Primary
* arrives spontaneously organ in question is fucked up
Secondary
* usually insidious
* resultant from other trauma/pathology organ in question is malfunctioning, due to some other organ not working properly
Growth DisturbancesCancer
Metaplasia: functional change fromone cell type to anotherDysplasia:change in size/shape/fx,precancerous, but last stage that can be returned to normalAnaplasia:complete disorganization of a cell (cancer)squamous cell carcinoma
Collagen Types
Type 1bone, muscle, tendons, ligamentsType 2disc (specifically nucleus pulposis)Type 3”reticular collagen”, spleen and lymph nodesearly wound healingType 4basement membrane of all tissues
PneumoconiosisSilicosis
silica from sand, rock, glassRocky QUarry disease
PneumoconiosisAsbestosis
asbestosleads to mesotheliomamalignant tumorNaval shipyard
Pneumoconiosis:Siderosis
Iron dust particlesIron Ore Mill/Steel Mill occupants
Pneumoconiosis:Byssinosis
cotton dustBrown Lung
Pneumoconiosis:Anthracosis
Black Lung Disease from minersCaplan’s Syndrome(anthracosis + RA)W.Virginia coal mines
Pneumoconiosis:Histomycosis/Histoplasmosis
Endemic fungusMississippi/Ohio Valleys”Mississippi Valley Fever”“Ohio Valley Fever”
Pneumoconiosis:Coccidiomycosis
Endemic fungus in deserts of SW USA”San Joaquin Valley Fever”(just Valley Fever in other states)
Pneumoconiosis:Blastomycosis
Endemic fungus on Eastern seaboardFlorida to Nova Scotia
Asthma
Sputum analysis:Curschmann’s Spirals&Charcot-Leyden Crystals↑IgE,↑Eosinophils(↑IgE:wheezes, sneezes and weird ass diseases)
Cystic Fibrosis
Chloride channels affected “sweat test”
- mother notices, tastes salt =Salty Baby Syndrome Affects: GI mucous linings respiratory mucous linings exocrine secretions
- Susceptible to pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently requires lung transplants
