Pathology of disease

Cell function is altered but cell is not destroyed

Increase in cell size or number

Causing necrosis cell death

Deterioration of cell function

Programmed cell death normal

Underlying principal of pathology is that all disease is due to

Reduces aerobic oxidative respiration

increase in size of cells

Increase in number of cells in organ or tissue

Mammary tissue enlargement during pregnancy is an example of

Decrease in cell size and number that results in reduced size of organ or tissue

severe muscle wasting

contains dead and dying tissue cells that are partially liquified and the WBC made by the body to clean pun the process

Example of liquefaction necrosis

Pus develops in a pocket and puts pressure on surrounding tissue. the area usually responds by walling of the pus with fibrous connective tissue
