Cards

Term
Cell injury accumulation
Definition
water, lipids/carbohy., glycogen, proteins, pigments, calcium
Term
Apoptosis-?
Necrotic cell death-?
Definition
Apop- programmed cell death
Necr.- unregulated cell death (multiple)
Term
Hyperplasia-?
Dysplasia-?
Ex.?
Definition
Hyper- increase in # of cells bc increase rate of cellular division
Dys- overgrowth of cell with change in structure & organization & shape
Ex.-papsmear caused by virus- HPV
Reversible
Term
Aspyxiation-?
Suffocation-?
Definition
Aspyxiation-restriction of chest movement and oxygen deprivation of the cells
Suffocation-Oxygen failing to reach blood/blockage of external airways
Term
Strangulation-?
Chem Aspyx-?
Drowning-?
Definition
Strang.- compression/closure of blood vessels & airways from external pressure on neck
Chem. Aspyx.- Prevent delivery of O2 to tissue/ block it utilization (cyanide hydrogen sulfide)
Drowning- fluids block O2 from lungs
Term
Chemical injury to cell by?
Definition
Carbon tetrachloride, lead, carbon monoxide, ethanol, mercury, social/street drugs
Term
____ decrease or shrinkage of cell size?

_____-natural loss
_____-occurs as result of decreased work load, pressure, blood supply, nutrition, hormonal stimulation, nerve stimulation
Definition
Atrophy;
Physiologic;
Pathologic
Term
Laceration-?
Fracture-?
Definition
Laceration- tearing/ripping of skin/tissue when pulled more than it can withstand
Fracture- breaks in bone
Term
Incised wound-?
Stab wound-?
Definition
Incised wound- longer than deep (superficial)
stab wound- deeper than long (internal)
Term
Puncture-?
Chopping-?
Contercoup-?
Definition
Puncture- small deep
chopping- cut/ crushing tissue
contercoup- whip lash effect
Term
Blunt force-?
Contusion-?
Definition
Blunt force- tearing, ripping, shearing, crushing of tissue
Contusion- Bleeding into skin, tissue, organs
Term
Hematoma-?
Abrasion-?
Definition
Hematoma-collection of blood in confined (nonexpanding) space- like skull
Abrasion- superficial layers of skin removed
Term
Tumor necrosis factor secreted by _______ induces_____ by__________ synthesizes____________ causes___________
Definition
Macrophages; fever by endogenous protein; synthesis of inflammatory serum protein; causes muscle wasting
Term
Hypoxia- lack of ______. Leads to decrease in ____ then _______ so _______ and _______ follow, causing ___________& _______
Ex.:________
Definition
Hypoxia- lack of oxygen. Leads to decrease in ATP production then failure of Na+/K+ pump->Na+ retention & water follows causing vacuolation & death
Ex: high altitudes, lung disease, ischemia, edemia, anemia
Term
Fat necrosis-______ breaks down lipids
Occurs in ________ _______
Definition
lipase; breast and pancreas
Term
Liquefactive necrosis- _____ enzymes destroy all tissue. Usually in _____

Ex.: ?
Definition
Hydrolytic enzymes; brain
Ex.: staph, strept, e.coli >>>> all in the brain
Term
________- proportional cell enlargement
Definition
Hypertrophy
Term
growth due to increase workload/ hormone stimulation
Definition
physiologic
Term
Growth due to disease or other factors
Definition
Pathogenic
Term
Examples of physiologic atrophy?
Definition
thymus
Term
Ex. of pathologic atrophy?
Definition
Bed rest patient
Term
Examples of Physiologic hypertrophy
Definition
body builder, uterus/ mam. glands, during pregnancy
Term
Examples of Pathologic Hypertrophy
Definition
Hypertension, heart disease, decreased valves
Term
Metaplasia-?
Purpose?
Reversible?
Definition
Change of cell type because being under a stressor for long periods of time.
Purpose- become durable
Reversible if stressor is removed
Term
Hypoxia
Definition
if O2 restored quickly=oxygenated stress
Term
Free radicals -?

Can cause-?
Definition
Unstable, will steal atoms
Can cause- lipid peroxidation, protein alterations, DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial damage
Term
Cells usually have __ calcium inside of the cell.
Definition
low
Term
dystropic-?
Definition
found in dead/dying tissue. Released Ca+ leaving deposits
Term
Metastatic
Definition
Calcification- Ca+ is too high so body deposits excess Ca+ in tissue
Term
caseous necrosis-?
Means-?
Body tries to?
Definition
combo of liquifactive and coagulative. Means clumps of cheese. Body tries todigest foreign cells
Ex:TB- partially broken down & encapsulated
Term
Coagulative necrosis-
Definition
protein denaturation because of hypoxia. Changes tissue composition from soft to firm.
occurs in kidney, heart, adrenal gland
Term
gangrenous gas
Definition
Clostridium infection produces bubbles because broken down RBC causes shock then death
Term
gangrenous wet
Definition
arterial blood flow but no venous blood flow. Form of liquifactive necrosis. more likely to get a bacterial infection because its wet. SMELLS
Term
Gangrenous necrosis-?
Dry-?
Definition
Large area of necrosis coagulative with lack of blood flow.
Form of dry wrinkled skin with demarkation line
