An adaptive change where a cell increases in number is called ________________________________.
Hyperplasia
List one cellular change that occurs in an atrophic cell___________________________________________________
Decreased mitochondria & rough E.R. increased lysosomes decreased protein synthesis, increased protein catabolism
Cancer cells often exhibit anaplasia, which can also be called ________________________.
List one enzyme that degrades free radicals inside of peroxisomes___________________________
Catalase
Why does failure of the mitochondria result in irreversible cell damage?
Decreased ATP - Na/K pumps fail - NA in and K out - H2O enters freely - cell swells -organelles rupture - Ruptured lysosomes cause autodigestion
This type of necrosis is wet and gooey in appearance because of the action of hydrolytic enzymes. It is called _________________________.
Liquefaction necrosis
The growth of the uterine lining because of pregnancy is due to what cellular adaptation?
Hypertrophy
The entrance into the cell of what ion results in autodigestion? ________________.
Sodium
The pressure in the blood that is greatest at the venous end of the capillary is called ___________________________.
Blood onchotic pressure (proteins in blood create pressure by pulling H2O)
ADH release is triggered by a _______________ in blood osmolarity (choose either increase or decrease).
Increase
Severe diarrhea can cause a (hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic) alteration {circle one}.
Hypertonic
Hypervolemia can result from (hypernatremia, hyponatremia) {circle one}.
Hypernatremia
Acidosis results in (hypokalemia, hyperkalemia) {circle one}.
Hyperkalemia
The organ responsible for regulating potassium balance is the _____________________.
Kidney
A malignant tumor that arises from epithelial tissue can be called a ________________________________________.
Carcinoma
Cancer cells _______________________,which means that they are not attached to their neighboring cells.
Dissociate
Type of cellular adaptation that results in a reduction in the number of ribosome and rough E.R.
Atrophy
When the heart becomes enlarged, it is undergoing this type of cellular adaptation
Hypertrophy
Alcohol can result in tissue damage because of these substances which are produced during metabolism
Free radicals
This type of necrosis occurs in tissues with an abundance of connective tissue
Coagulative
Inflammation results in edema because of an (increase, decrease) in (BHP,BOP)
Decrease, BOP
ADH is released because of an (increase, decrease) in blood osmolarity
Increase
Hypersecretion of aldosterone results in this type of change in water balance (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic)
Hypertonic
Explain the process by which a cell undergoes lysosomal rupture during hypoxic injury
Hypoxia-decreased ATP-Na/K pumps quit-Na in K out- H2O in- cell swells- organelles swell-ruptured lysosomes release hydrolase-anaerobic process increases lactic acid - decreases pH- activates hydrolases-autodigestion
Define lipid peroxidation and explain why carbon tetrachloride toxicity primarily affects the liver
Breakdown of lipids by free radicals. CCl4 is converted to free radicals in the liver which is why the liver is primarily affected
List 2 of the 3 things ATP is used for in a contracting muscle
Energy to fuel Na/K pump and drives the Myosin/Actin cross-bridge
Would a decrease in ADH secretion (diabetes insipidus) result in hypervolemia or does it cause hypovolemia? Why?
Hypovolemia. Decreased ADH causes decreased H2O in blood and thus a lower blood volume
What organ and hormone are primarily responsible for the regulation of K?
Kidneys/ Aldosterone
Which type of acid base disorder causes hyperkalemia?
Acidosis
How would you treat a diabetic for hyperkalemia?
Administer insulin and glucose
Mild hyperkalemia reults in tachycardia. Why?
Potassium is positibely charges which brings the cell from -70 towards -50 depolarizing the cell and causing more frequent contractions and therefore a faster heartrate
This cellular adaptation leads to an increase in protein anabolism
Atrophy
This type of lysosome contains activated enzymes
Secondary lysosomes
This type of cellular adaptation occurs in the uterus during pregnancy(hint: two word answer)
Hormonal hypertrophy
The loss of this organelle during hypoxic injury signals that the cell has undergone an irreversible injury
Mitochondria / lysosome
This histologic change during necrosis appears like small condensed nuclei
Pyknosis
In addition to lysosomal rupture what other condition must exist in the cell in order for autodigestion to occur?
Acidosis
Liquefaction necrosis looks "liquidy" because it occurs in organs that lack this type of tissue
Connective tissue
Hyponatremia will stimulate the release of this hormone
Aldosterone
Does water deprivation lead to hypovolemia or does it lead to hypervolemia?
Hypovolemia
Would an increase in ADH secretion lead to an increase or a decrease in osmolarity?
Decrease
Will hypokalemia result in an increase in blood pH or does it result in a decrease in blood pH?
Increase
Would you expect a patient with end-stage kidney disease to be hypokalemic or hyperkalemic?
Hyperkalemic
If ischemia were to occur over a large portion of the body at once, what acid/base disorder would you anticipate? (If it caused autodigestion)
Acidosis
List a specific cause of pathologic atrophy
Decreased blood flow due to a clot or obstruction
What organ atrophies due to a physiologic cause?
Thymus
Why do atrophic cells have decreased number of ribosomes than non-atrophic cells?
They do not need to make as much protein
Why do atrophic cells have more lysosomes than non-atrophic cells?
Unneeded rough E.R. and ribosomes due to less protein production - need to be digested
Is BHP, BOP or neither MOST affected and is the force increased or decreased with an increase in aldosterone release?
BHP force increased due to increased Na+ in blood which pulls in more H2O
Is BHP, BOP or neither MOST affected and is the force increased or decreased with a release of histamine?
Increased vascular permeability due to vasoldilation causes BHP to decrease
Is BHP, BOP or neither MOST affected and is the force increased or decreased with a decrease in ADH release?
Decreased BHP due to less H2O in blood
What type of cellular adaptation leads to an increase in E.R and a decrease in lysosomes? WHY?
Hypertrophy. More protein needed = more E.R., less cellular debris to digest = less lysosomes
What organ is the best at regeneration?
Liver
