(47 cards)
Leonardo di ser Piero da Cinci
-described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man; a man on multiple activity and inventive imagination
Pathology def:
the study of disease
What is regressive lesions?
- changes in the structure of normally developed cells, tissues or organs, which usually interfere with their function
Cellular adaptation to injury:
- atrophy
- intracellular adaptations (degeneration)
- cell death (necrosis)
Regressive lesions:
- cellular adaptation to injury
- inborn abnormalities
Developmental abnormalities (organ-specific malformations)
- aganesia (a lack of organ anlage)
- aplasia
- hypoplasia (incomplete development)
- atresia (complete failure of development of the intestinal/ duct lumen)
- double organs
- ectopy (abnormally located tissue)
Hypoplasia def:
incomplete development
Atresia def:
complete failure of development of the intestinal/ duct lumen
Ectopy def:
- abnormally located tissue
- organ parenchyma located outside of the normal anatomic location
Aganesia def:
a lack of organ anlage
What is duodenal atresia associated with?
Down´s syndrome or other anomalities
When do ppl get atresia?
- it presents early in life with vomiting
- treated surgically
Give example of double organs:
ureteral duplication
Ectopy ang.:
- aberrant pancreas
- accessory pancreas
- ectopic pancreas
- pancreatic rest
What did Heinrich do?
he histologically classified heterotropic pancreatic tissue
What is the histological classification of heterotropic pancreatic tissue?
- Type I
- Type II
- Type III
Type I (classification of heterotropic pancreatic tissue)
normal pancreatic tissue (preserved lobular structure, visible islets and pancreatic ducts)
Type II (classification of heterotropic pancreatic tissue)
abnormal structure, no islets
Type III (classification of heterotropic pancreatic tissue)
lesion composed only of pancreatic ducts
Degeneration =
accumulation
- intra- or extracellular accumulation of substances which under normal condition are there in small quantities or are absent
In what cases can we see accumulation of water?
tubular epithelial vacuolar change, kidney (enlargement of the reticulum)
- hypokalemia
- ischemia
- dextran and mannitol administration
- post IV pyelogram studies
Protein degeneration:
- intracellular protein degeneration
- extracelular
Intracellular protein degeneration:
hyalin degeneration - Mallory bodies (“alcoholic hyalin”)- aggregated intermediate filaments in hepatocytes
Extracellular (protein degeneration):
- collagen degeneration
- amyloidosis
