-
etiology
cause of disease
-
cellular adaptation is physiologic and pathologic
Atrophy•Hypertrophy•Hyperplasia•Metaplasia•Dysplasi
-
atrophy
reversible; cell decrease in size because demand decreases
-
causes of call atrophy
disuse, ischemia, Endocrine dysfunction, Persistent cell injury, Aging
-
hypertrophy
cells increase in size because increased demand
-
hypertrophy can be either physiologic or pathologic
- physiologic: normal, weight lifting
- pathologic: abnormal, enlarged organs
-
hyperplasia
increase in number of cells
-
hyperplasia can be physiologic or pathologic
- physiologic: great and uterine enlargement
- pathologic: enlargement of the prostate gland
-
metaplasia
- 1. Replacement of one differentiated cell type with another
- 2. Cells retains same basic tissue type
- 3. Usually occurs in response to chronic irritation and inflammation
- 4. Reversible
-
dysplasia
- 1. Cells mutate with abnormal variations in size, shape and arrangement
- 2. abnormal
- 3. may be reversible
- 4. strongly implicated as a precursor to cancer
-
cellular injury mechanisms
hypoxic injury, free radical and reactive oxygen species injury, chemical injury, infectious injury, immunologic/ inflammatory injury
-
hypoxic injury
single most common cause of cellular injury
-
hypoxic injury results from
- *Reduced amount of oxygen in the air•Loss of hemoglobin or decreased efficacy of hemoglobin
- *Decreased production of red blood cells, *Diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems
- *Poisoning of the oxidative enzymes within the cells
-
most common cause of hypoxia is
ischemia. Can be progressive or acute
-
ischemia
an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the heart muscles.
-
Ischemia is often caused by
Arteriosclerosis (gradual narrowing of arteries) Thrombosis (complete blockage by blood clot)
-
Arteriosclerosis
gradual narrowing of arteries
-
Thrombosis
complete blockage by blood clot
-
Free radicals and reactive oxygen species
Electrically uncharged atom or group of atoms having an unpaired electron that damage:•Lipid peroxidation•Alteration of proteins•Alteration of DNA•Mitochondria
-
Chemically injury
Carbon tetrachloride• lead •Carbon monoxide•Ethanol•Mercury•Social or street drugs •Over the counter or prescribed drugs
-
blunt force injuries
confusions, abrasions, lacerations, fractures
-
sharp force injuries
puncture wounds, stab wounds, incised wounds, chop wounds
-
other two types of unintentional and intentional wounds
gunshot wounds and Asphyxial injuries
